Monitoring his Heart
Cootie Catcher, taken

- Telling himself to keep away from frustrations. Talking to Stiles, who is still mad at him. And then Stiles tells him he needs to train him before the end of the day. "Your Yoda I will be." Shut up, Stiles. "Yeah, I'm like the Incredible Hulk." SCOTT! And then Stiles starts hitting him with a ball for training for the heart thing.
- Scott has the memory from right before this, "I felt anger," where Derek tells him that he needs to stay away from frustrating people.
- Something happened to Stiles' dad and he's hurt and Scott feels guilty and responsible for it.
- And that he went to Derek for help.
- And Scott is an idiot for trusting Derek, says Stiles.
- And Stiles is going to help him monitor his heart.
- Watching Allison from a distance.
- Stiles will be Scott's Yoda. (Note: Scott doesn't know Star Wars, so he doesn't get this reference.)
- Allison calls after him and almost follows him into the boy's bathroom.
- Heartrate. Learning to control his heartrate.
- HULK REFERENCE FOR THE FIRST TIME. "I'm kind of like the incredible Hulk."
- Stiles lobbing lacrosse balls at him to make him mad. And he's staying calm. "No balls flying at my face."
- And then he starts to wolf out!
- Anger made him stronger.
- "She makes me weak," re: Allison.
- Something smells terrible in the boy's locker room and it's Jackson not that Scott knows that.
- Allison sitting behind him. "I haven't seen you all day." Scott's phone is broken. And he and Allison are lab partners.
- Scott being yelled at by coach about the reading from the night before. He didn't do the reading. His heart starts racing while the coach is yelling.
- Allison grabs his hand and his heart calms down.
- "It's Allison." Stiles explaining that Allison works as Scott's anchor. "Because I love her."
- And then being beat up and finding Allison's voice through the rumble of school.

Okay, at this point, Scott has almost all of his memories from episode six of season one. He's just missing two scenes, which is funny because he has so many memories. That said! This is going to help Scott because one: Allison is here and two: he knows it's not just about monitoring his heart. The problem is that he knows he and Allison are ... pretty broken up, so upon taking his memory, he avoided her.

"Scott, you can't protect everyone." "I have to."
Pity memory from losing a lot!

- Waking up in Deaton's office. Finding out that Deaton can protect him from Peter. Then it skips to him going home and talking to Stiles. Then his mother comes home and is crying on the phone and Stiles tells him he doesn't have to protect everyone. And then Scott goes to quit the lacrosse team and he can't, so he threatens Jackson to go with Allison (as friends). And then Scott and Stiles talk about going to the dance. And then stalking Allison in the mall as Peter harasses him.
- Waking up in Deaton's after that terrible shootout.
- Peter Hale is there!
- Peter threatens him by saying he'll go after Allison.
- And then it switches to Scott looking for his phone, and he hears his mom calling Peter.
- He hears her crying.
- This is his first big mother memory, so it's going to amp up not only feeling like he has to protect EVERYONE, but also that he needs to somehow find a way to protect his mom. Who is everyone.
- Watching Allison sleep because that's not creepy at all Scott.
- Falling asleep and ... falling off Allison's roof.
- Asking Jackson to take Allison to the winter formal. "It's Allison. It's impossible not to like her."
- Attacking him to make him do it. (Showing great control to do so.)
- Stalking Allison at the mall, too!

This is a pretty big memory, because it's a huge step in Scott's canonical direction toward his need to protect people aka EVERYONE. He's moved toward it in Aather a little faster due to circumstances, but these combined memories will help give him some focus and make him feel like he can do stuff instead of wading in a pool of cluelessness.
