Beacon Hills faces a new supernatural threat in "Teen Wolf" Season 2, as a mysterious reptilian creature known as the Kanima emerges. Scott McCall, a teenage werewolf, strives to protect his friends and maintain his secret identity while navigating his complicated relationship with Allison Argent, a skilled hunter from a family dedicated to eradicating werewolves. Meanwhile, Derek Hale, a newly turned Alpha werewolf, attempts to build his own pack. Jackson Whittemore, Scott's rival, experiences a strange and painful transformation after being bitten by Derek, oozing black liquid and exhibiting unusual behavior.

The Kanima, a creature that paralyzes its victims and seeks a master, begins a series of murders. It is soon revealed that Jackson Whittemore is the Kanima, unknowingly controlled by Matt, a vengeful teenager. Matt uses the Kanima to exact revenge on those who wronged him in the past. After Matt is drowned by Gerard Argent, Allison's ruthless grandfather, Gerard seizes control of the Kanima, manipulating events to further his own sinister agenda. Gerard's true plan is to use the Kanima to force Derek into biting him, believing it will cure his cancer and grant him werewolf power.

Scott thwarts Gerard's plan by secretly replacing his cancer medication with mountain ash, causing Gerard's body to reject the bite. In a shocking turn of events, Jackson is seemingly killed by Derek and Peter Hale (Derek's resurrected uncle), but then revives as a blue-eyed werewolf, leaving everyone stunned by his unexpected transformation.
