The previous episode of "Teen Wolf" Season 5 showed how Scott (Tyler Posey) and the pack are still working on rescuing Lydia (Holland Roden) from the Eichen House and in Episode 16 titled "Lie Ability," it is expected that Lydia will still be the focal point of the story arc.
Carter Matt, in its report, highlighted the sneak peek for "Teen Wolf" Season 5, Episode 16 where Lydia is put through torments while she is in the hands of Dr. Gabriel Valack (Steven Brand). The report also mentioned about what could be Dr. Valack's end game for experimenting with Lydia.
"Is he [Dr. Valack] trying to transform her into a killing machine, a Dread Doctor or a shell of her former self?" Carter Matt wrote.
Hence, we expect a crazy Episode 16, where Lydia will, once again, be in the spotlight. Carter Matt also said that they are hoping for Lydia not to die, although according to the report, it "is probably a given, due to the fact that she is one of the primary components of the show and has been a part of it for a long time."
And talking about the Dread Doctors and Dr. Valack, Yibada also highlighted the upcoming twist of events that await in the upcoming episodes. In another sneak peek, Valack was seen with a similar mask to the Dread Doctors, and quite unexpectedly, Valack puts the helmet on Nurse Cross (Mandy Levin).
"Teen Wolf" Executive Producer Jeff Davis previously told Entertainment Weekly that towards the end of Season 5, fans will answer many questions about Valack and the Dread Doctors.
"We've been treating the 20 episodes as one storyline, so this will wrap up in season 5, episode 20," Davis said. "You'll know the fate of the Dread Doctors, you'll know the fate of all our characters, and how it leads to Season 6."
Davis also mentioned about the phenomenal job the makeup team has done with "underneath the surgeons' masks," meaning, fans will finally see the true faces of the Dread Doctors!
