Teen Wolf winter finale
Scott (Tyler Posey) will face off with Douglas in “Teen Wolf” Season 6, episode 10. MTV

Stiles is coming back to “Teen Wolf”! Dylan O’Brien will appear as the long missing character in the winter finale of the MTV drama, but he isn’t the only person who needs to return to Beacon Hills. The Ghost Riders have taken more pack members, and it isn’t clear who can bring them back.

In the winter finale, the gang will have to defeat Mr. Douglas (Pete Ploszek), the physics teacher who turned out to be a Nazi werewolf-lion hybrid who also has Ghost Rider powers. “With the fate of Beacon Hills hanging in the balance, Scott and his pack face off against Douglas in a final showdown,” the episode 10 synopsis reveals.

Scott (Tyler Posey) will have some happiness before that ugly fight, though. The final moments of episode 9 showed the rift opening up. Lydia (Holland Roden) remembering her love for Stiles seemed to open the portal to bring him back. In a sneak-peek video from the winter finale, we see what the rift opening looks like to Stiles. It seems he’ll hear Lydia’s voice before he heads over.

Showrunner Jeff Davis refuses to guarantee romance, however. “Maybe they’re stumbling towards romantic love,” Davis teased to TVLine, “or maybe it blows up in their face after the first month and they say, ‘Screw it. Let’s just be friends.’”

The clip doesn’t show Stydia’s reunion. The promo video, however, makes it clear that Stiles is back. He has been out of the loop for a while, but he still has a good grasp on who the bad guys are. He takes out a Ghost Rider using his favorite weapon, a baseball bat.

Elsewhere, the pack will have to bring back those they aren’t as close with. While Malia (Shelley Hennig) wasn’t the key to bringing Stiles back, she will be the the only one who can save Peter (Ian Bohen), who sacrificed himself for his daughter earlier this season. It looks like the werecoyote, who isn’t known for getting emotionally attached, will be the one to bring him back.

One thing viewers shouldn’t worry about, however, is a cliffhanger. Despite this being the last winter finale, is sounds like Davis isn’t going to torture fans during the hiatus before the final episodes.

“We always like to tell a complete story as much as possible,” Davis revealed to Entertainment Weekly. “If we can do that and make the audience feel like they’ve experienced a full story that has a beginning, middle, and end, that I prefer. We’re not ‘The Walking Dead.’ Our show’s a bit more comic book than that. Giving a little hope in a very dark world some days can be optimistic.”

The midseason finale of “Teen Wolf” Season 6 airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST on MTV.
