Yes, Derek's (Tyler Hoechlin) fan favorite pack member was killed by Kali (Felisha Terrell), with the help of her fellow packmembers Ethan (Charlie Carver) and Aiden (Max Carver) as a warning for him to join their Alpha pack. Kali warns that Derek has until the next full moon to make his decision or she'll kill the rest of his pack.

"I'm sorry," a broken Derek says to Boyd as he dies in his arms. As if Derek didn't have enough to brood over!

But Boyd's death wasn't the only gamechanger in "Currents": Scott (Tyler Posey) is revealed to be a True Alpha, one who rises purely on the strength of their character and their virtue; a sheer force of will. A True Alpha comes along once every hundred years, which is why head Alpha Deucalion (Gideon Emery) is really after Scott, not Derek.

Line of the Night: "My last boyfriend was a homicidal lizard, so I think I can handle a werewolf." Oh Lydia (Holland Roden), never change.
