Relics

“	"You're probably wondering why I'm out here, when I could be nestled at home with a book... And that's because I'm sick of seeing people that I care about wheeled past the nurse's station on a gurney. All of you are out here, risking your lives, and it's about time that I do something, too." "...In my experience, when tracking homicidal supernaturals, it's best to be quiet.	”
	— Melissa McCall and Chris Argent

Continuity[]

Sydney appeared in this episode. She was last seen in Maid of Gévaudan.
Lorilee Rohr appeared in this episode. She was last seen in A Credible Threat.
Kate Argent was referenced in this episode. She was last seen in Season 4's Smoke and Mirrors.

Jake Sullivan was referenced in this episode. He was last seen in Superposition before being erased from existence by the Ghost Riders.
Valerie Clark was mentioned in this episode. She was last seen in Memory Lost.
- Lydia suggested they call Rafael for help in figuring out who Stiles is, possibly foreshadowing his return to the series in Season 6.
The party Liam Dunbar and Mason Hewitt threw at the McCall House was mentioned in this episode due to the consequences of the party-goers seeing the Ghost Riders. This party occurred in Sundowning.
Sheriff Stilinski indicated he may have found a relic of Stiles' after stumbling upon his baseball bat in the garage. Stiles' bat has been used in Season 3A's The Overlooked and Lunar Ellipse, Season 3B's Galvanize, and Season 4's 117.
Gwen is revealed to be a member of the lacrosse team, making her the second female to be on the team after Kira Yukimura, who was last seen in Season 5B's Apotheosis.
Lydia Martin, Natalie Martin, and Melissa McCall looked at Claudia Stilinski's medical records in this episode, which stated that she's had frontotemporal dementia for ten years. It was first revealed that Claudia had (and died from) FTD in Season 3B's Riddled.
Jordan Parrish shifted into Hellhound form against the Ghost Riders in this episode for the first time in Season 6.
Hayden partially-shifted into her werewolf form for the first time in the series in this episode (not including the one and only time she shifted into Chimera form, which occurred in Season 5A's Strange Frequencies). She was bitten and turned into a werewolf in Season 5B's Apotheosis.
Liam Dunbar is appointed captain of the Beacon Hills Cyclones lacrosse team in this episode, continuing the running theme of Liam potentially succeeding Scott McCall in leadership (both as team captain and as Alpha of the McCall Pack) that has occurred since the season premiere, Memory Lost.

Trivia[]

The title is a reference to the relics discussed in the episode, which are objects of the Wild Hunt's victims that are left behind as a result of the conservation of mass—since the total mass of any isolated system remains constant, it's impossible for the Wild Hunt to completely erase every piece of a person's existence.
Malia Tate and Chris Argent referenced several facts about coyotes, such as the fact that they are nocturnal, they eat their young, and the smell of blood after a kill can send them into a frenzy.
It is revealed that the Ghost Riders can "ride lightning," essentially teleporting where they want to go through the storms that they conjure. As a result, they can use this ability to bypass Mountain Ash barriers, making no location completely safe from them.
Mason Hewitt figured out that the McCall Pack can predict the Ghost Riders' arrival by monitoring the K-index, a scale used by meteorologists to measure thunderstorm activity. According to Mason, Beacon Hills has experienced roughly 5,000 lightning strikes per thunderstorm in the last three months, and that an average storm has about 1,000. This seems to indicate that the Wild Hunt has been in Beacon Hills at least since the end of Season 5.
Natalie Martin revealed that she has known Claudia Stilinski since high school.
- It is also revealed that Claudia's maiden name is Gajos.
It is implied that the Wild Hunt has the ability to manipulate a person's emotions on a large scale, as evidenced by the fact that the players on the lacrosse teams became aggressive and violent toward each others, which fits what Alan Deaton said about the Wild Hunt being attracted to war and mayhem in Superposition.
