ā | Scott: "Whoa, whoa. We've got Econ. in five minutes." Stiles: "All right, did you forget the part about the family-murdering ax-murderer?" Scott: "Did you forget that your dad is the Sheriff? He'd want us to stay out of it." Stiles: "Are you kidding me? There's a family-murdering ax-murderer and we're not going to do anything about it?" Kira: "Maybe we should just let the adults handle it..." Stiles: "So the two of you just want to stay here at school and go to class? I've never heard anything so irresponsible in my life." |

Muted is the third episode of Season 4 and the fifty-first episode of Teen Wolf.
Synopsis[]
Scott's position on the lacrosse team is threatened. Meanwhile, Stilinski investigates a murder.
Plot[]
A high school student, Sean Walcott, searches for his cat, only to find it unharmed but covered in blood under his bed. Suddenly, he hears screaming and walks out to the hall to find a professional assassin known as The Mute has killed his parents and brother with a tomahawk. He instructs Sean to defend himself against him with a shard of glass, but instead, Sean jumps out the window and runs toward the hospital. The next morning, Derek and Peter meet with Braeden, who Derek hires to track down Kate to retrieve their stolen bearer bonds and learn the reason why Derek's Werewolf eyes are gold now instead of their usual blue.
At school, Stiles and Scott discuss the theft at lacrosse practice, where they see a new freshman, Liam, excelling on the field. Kira learns her parents are planning to move the family back to New York, a decision against which Kira strongly protests. Stiles and Lydia help Malia to improve her math skills. Scott's mom and Sheriff Stilinski learns of Sean's attack and decide to keep the kids out of it because they believed the case didn't have any supernatural elements. When Coach Finstock states that the team is having a "rebuilding" season, Scott and Stiles struggle to maintain their positions, while Liam continues to dominate the field. Scott, concerned about losing the captainship to Liam, accidentally plays too hard during two-against-ones and causes Liam to sprain his ankle. Meanwhile, Coach discovers that Kira has a talent for lacrosse herself and recruits her for the team.
After practice, Scott and Kira reaffirm their relationship, before he leaves with Liam for the hospital. Deputy Parrish and Lydia investigate Sean's house, where they find a hidden meat locker full of frozen human corpses. Sean, identified as a Wendigo, kills and devours one of the cops protecting him and proceeds to attack Scott's mom, but Scott arrives and saves her. Sean takes Liam hostage, and Scott tracks them to the roof. Liam breaks free and falls over the edge, but clings to the edge of the roof. Scott is restrained by Sean, and is forced to bite Liam's arm to keep him from falling. The Mute kills Sean and lets Scott live, only for the True Alpha to face the reality that Scott's bite may have turned Liam into his very first Beta Werewolf.

- Noshiko and Ken Yukimura reveal that they plan to move back to New York now that Noshiko's mission of dealing with the Nogitsune is over. However, Kira cuts up the "For Sale" sign outside their home, which causes no one to come to the open house to find a buyer, leading them to end up staying in Beacon Hills.
