‘Teen Wolf’ season 5, episode 8 preview: Tyler Posey, cast feel the pain in ‘Ouroboros’

Before we do anything else with this particular “Teen Wolf” article, let’s talk titles! Specifically, we are making a reference here to “Ouroboros,” which is a creature from Greek mythology that is often a dragon swallowing its own tail. There is probably a certain spin meant in the context of this show, since there are many characters who have a tendency to damage themselves on a semi-regular basis.

In case you have not seen it already, let’s start this article off in the way that we always do, at least in the form of the shorty TV Guide synopsis:

“Scott and Malia set out to rescue their captured friends; and Deaton makes a horrific discovery about the Dread Doctors.”

The mission here is clearly going to be trying to figure out how to extract Liam and Hayden, who were taken away by the Dread Doctors in pretty terrible fashion at the end of this past episode. Are we very much entertained by all of this? The clear answer is yes, but we do also wonder at this point whether or not there is ever going to be a chance for some of these people to be saved … and we’re not just talking about the two who were captured.

This is a season that overall seems to be about survival, and we are not just talking about the physical component of it. There is also a strong mental part of the equation that some of these characters are going to need to work out.
