The relationship between Hunter Chris Argent, Human Melissa McCall, and Human Noah Stilinski
Though the three had been in the same place throughout Season 1 and Season 2, the three did not truly get to know each other until Season 3, when the Darach Jennifer Blake kidnapped Stilinski, Melissa, and Argent in turn with the intention of using them as the "guardian" trio of sacrifices in her five-fold knot ritual. It was then that Stilinski was finally initiated into the supernatural world and the three began working together as allies due to their status as the main three "pack parents" of the newly formed McCall Pack, which was started by their three children, Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, and Allison Argent.
From then on, the three became closer as they worked together to guide and support their children as they defended Beacon Hills from supernatural harm. Melissa and Noah, who had known each other for years as a result of their sons, Scott and Stiles, being best friends, had mild romantic chemistry throughout the seasons that never developed into anything more, while Chris and Melissa ultimately grew closer and began a romantic relationship in Season 6. With their respective professions as a Hunter, an advanced-practice nurse, and a county Sheriff, the trio each brought important skills and connections to the table as they helped the McCall Pack battle supernatural creatures hell-bent on causing chaos in their hometown.
Chris, Melissa and Noah are known as McArgenski by fans.
Throughout Teen Wolf[]
In The Tell, the three parents were all in the same place by chance when they attended the parent-teacher conference at Beacon Hills High School so they could learn about their children's progress through their sophomore year. In addition, all of the parents were given unexpected news about their respective children. Argent attended the conference with his wife Victoria Argent, where they were relieved to hear that Allison was a pleasant and intelligent student but were then surprised to learn that Allison had skipped school that day. Melissa was embarrassed and upset when Scott, who was failing multiple classes and needed to attend the conference himself, did not show up, and was further angered when Mr. Harris suggested his recent poor performance was due to a "lack of a strong male authority figure." Meanwhile, Stilinski spoke to Coach Finstock about Stiles, who he mocked for his given first name and reported that, while Stiles was very smart, his inability to focus kept him from reaching his true potential.
Argent, Melissa, and Stilinski didn't come together until after the conference was over, when they were all walking to their respective cars to get ready to leave. Argent and Melissa interacted first, with Melissa overhearing Argent leaving Allison a warning voicemail and asking them if they were her parents before admitting that her own son Scott was not answering his phone, either. Argent immediately offended Melissa by using an accusing tone of voice with her by suggesting that Scott kidnapped Allison that day, leading Melissa to argue that it very well could be that Allison had encouraged Scott to skip school. Just then, Scott and Allison appeared in the parking lot, looking sheepish, as they realized too late that Scott had missed the conference.
Argent and Melissa began berating their respective children when they suddenly heard a loud growl that caused Argent to immediately stiffen up in preparation for action. He wasted no time ordering Allison to get into the car before he pulled out his gun and began seeking out the creature, with Stilinski, with his own police side-arm, following behind him. It was obvious that Argent believed it to be the Alpha Werewolf they had been tracking for several weeks, but it turned out to simply be a mundane mountain lion, who Argent shot and killed inadvertently.
In Fury, Argent, Melissa, and Stilinski were all at the Beacon County Sheriff's Station during Matt Daehler's takeover of the building (using his control over Jackson Whittemore in Kanima-mode to defend himself), though they were all involved in different ways, and only Melissa and Stilinski interacted with each other out of the three.
It began when Stilinski, his son Stiles, and Stiles' best friend Scott went to the station to look at the surveillance footage of Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital during the night when Jessica Bartlett was smothered and killed, as they wanted to confirm Scott and Stiles' theory that Matt was the killer (and, unbeknownst to Stilinski, was also the Kanima Master).
Upon Scott and Stiles seeing Matt in the surveillance footage, but only from behind, they realized that he had spoken to Melissa while she was at work and they called her to see if she could confirm his identity and presence at the hospital that night. Melissa said she recognized him and was asked by Stilinski to come to the station to file a statement. However, before Melissa arrived, Matt showed up with Jackson, who was half-transformed into his Kanima form and was completely under Matt's control. Matt, who had already had Jackson paralyze and/or kill all of the other deputies on duty to prevent them from interfering, used the threat of the same kind of harm to Stilinski, Stiles, and Scott to force them to get rid of any evidence of his involvement in the string of murders (which would later be revealed to be caused by Matt's hatred of them for throwing him in a pool when he couldn't swim and doing nothing while he was drowning in 2006).
Though Derek Hale eventually arrived as well, he was quickly paralyzed by Jackson on Matt's orders, along with Stiles, before Matt threatened to kill Melissa to ensure her cooperation as well. Scott begged Matt to allow him to simply send Melissa away, but when arrived just then and knocked on the locked front door, Matt stood on Stiles' neck and began to strangle him until Scott was forced to comply and let Melissa inside. He promised his mother that Matt promised not to hurt her as long as she did what he asked, which Matt confirmed before shooting Scott in the stomach with his handgun, shocking Melissa, who did not know that Scott had been shot before and would heal quickly due to his Werewolf nature.
Matt then locked Melissa in a holding cell and forced Stiles to handcuff Stilinski to the bench outside of it before leaving the two alone in the room and taking Scott aside, where he revealed that he wanted the Bestiary, as he needed to know why he was beginning to grow Kanima scales on his abdomen.
Meanwhile, Argent, Gerard, and Allison were in the basement of the Argent House, where they were continuing the planning stage of how they were going to catch Derek, whom all three blamed for Victoria Argent's death after he bit her during a fight. Allison then received a text message from Scott informing her that he and Derek were at the Sheriff's station and that they needed the Bestiary to make it clear how dire the situation was, as Allison assured her family that Scott would never text her directly nor would he mention Derek due to Scott and Allison being forbidden from interacting with each other.
Gerard decided that this was the confluence of events they needed and appointed Allison, as the Argent family's new matriarch, the one who would lead the mission. Allison, still dealing with her grief from losing her mother, insisted that she wanted Derek, and that if any of the other pack members tried to protect him, then they would become targets as well. They then got geared up and headed to the station to breach the facility and catch Derek, not knowing that Gerard had ulterior motives to kill Matt and take control of Jackson/the Kanima for himself.
The Argents breached the Sheriff's station, but by this point, much had already happened: Stilinski had managed to break free of his restraints, only to be knocked unconscious when Matt pistol-whipped him; Melissa had just learned that Scott was a Werewolf after seeing him fully transformed and was terrified by the sight of him, though Stilinski missed it due to being knocked out; and Derek managed to flee after he failed to catch Matt or defeat the Kanima. Argent was briefly incapacitated by the Kanima as well, and after recovering, he was too concerned with protecting the Kanima Venom-paralyzed Allison to do anything further. None of the three had any further interaction for the rest of the episode.
