Teen Wolf - Heartless Origin of Douglas Why The Wild Hunt stayed
This episode was informative. Also it confirmed two of my theories, and that is that in order to get Styles they have to get rid of Claudia. Does that mean that the Noah Stilinski has to kill her as he is the one that brought her back, not sure, hope so. Or even better yet, Stiles has to do it himself. Kill his mother, as Claudia and Noah have already accused him. (Noah Season 2, Claudia Season 5)
The other theory is about how the Ghost Rider use Hellhounds to break Mountain Ash barriers.
Professor Douglas:
We know from previous episodes that prof. Douglas is the Nazi solder from the container in the Dread Lab, we also know that he is killing people and eating their pineal glands. The question was always why? Why did the Dread Doctors take him, Why did he eat the pineal glands...?
The present:
Today we saw many important scenes. We saw prof. Douglas stand up to a Ghost Rider and kill him. Douglas also took the Riders pineal gland and ate it and seems like turned into a Ghost Rider. His eyes turned green and he used his whip to transport Corey into the other dimension.
Also we were shown that as Douglas killed the Ghost Riders the other Riders stopped what they were doing and went after him to take him to the other dimension or to kill him.
The past:
"It's been a long time." Those are the words Douglas spoke with the Ghost Rider before killing him. That means Douglas met the Riders before.
The Wild Hunt is drawn to war, before, during and/or after a war.
So we go to the period of WWII, 1939-1945.
Douglas and the Dread Doctors
In season 5 we found out that the Dread Doctors made a deal with the person in jar (Douglas). All this time I thought it was a deal that Douglas would prolong the Doctors lives in exchange of protection against the Wild Hunt. But there might be more than that.
My vision on how all transpired:
The Hunt the Dread Doctors needed test subjects to create chimeras, but everyone failed. The subject were Jewish people from the concentration camps provided by professor Douglas. I believe he was the one in charge at one of the camps as Theo called him Hauptman (Head man). In return the Dread Doctors gave him the key to eternal life, the pineal gland. The consumption of pineal glands prolongs lives as the Dread Doctors proved it by existing for two centuries at that time. The Wild Hunt started and as soul were taken, Douglas saw the Hunt and it was going after him. Douglas is a brilliant Alpha and he figured that if he took a pineal gland of an immortal being he would become immortal himself. Just like Deucalion took the power of the other Alpha's by killing them. Douglas managed to kill a rider and take his power, his eyes turned green and he was immortal. But the other Ghost Riders came after him and took him to their dimension. As Douglas had the immortality of the Riders he managed to escape, just like Peter. But the escape left only a tiny bit of the immortality. And like Peter he was left with severe burns. The Dread Doctors took Douglas to their Lab and put him in a coma, put him into the capsule and filled it with formaldehyde. And the Dread Doctors started extracting the immortality that is left in Douglas and started using it as a mean to prolong their life and Theo used it later to resurrect the dead chimeras. (That is why the serum was green)
At the end of Season 5 all of the immortality was gone and Douglas became a normal werewolf again and started healing, woke up and broke free. As he was burned and was in formaldehyde so his lungs suffered damage for which he needed to take Helium therapy.
Why the Wild Hunt stayed
Jeff Davis said that, I believe two, characters will die. One of them is I believe the one responsible for the stay of the Wild Hunt. The one that Killed a Ghost Rider in season 5.
All humans have their pineal glands in the middle of their brain and it is the size of a pea. But there was one person who had a huge pineal gland or third eye, Dr. Valcak. The only pineal gland that was big as Valacks was the one from the Ghost Rider. That lets me believe that Valack is a Ghost Rider. But he has a real live body.
Valack’s Pineal Gland
Ghost Rider’s Pineal Gland
Valack said that the Doctors ruined him once. Maybe the Doctors managed to lock a Ghost Rider into a human body and restrict his power. But despite him being in a human body his pineal gland was a Ghost Riders. That enabled him to know everything and see the ones nobody could, the Dread Doctors. Also, the Dread Masks resemble the Ghost Riders faces, sown up mouth black holes for eyes. So that means that the reason nobody could see the Dread Doctors is Valacks power they stole and while creating the mask implemented that power into it. Valack managed to make a duplicate of the masks. The fourth Dread Mask. But it looks like he was caught before he could use it. During the first shut down in Eichen visited Valack and took his pineal gland to weaken his Rider inside. That's why he did experiments on Lydia, the only one able to defeat Ghost Riders because she was immune to them. But everything went wrong and Lydia killed Valack, one of the Ghost Riders and by doing that she made the Riders hunt for her, hunt for the one that is immune.
The only way for the hunt to leave might be for Lydia to die....
