Let's face it: Derek is probably not dead.

Despite what Teen Wolf viewers witnessed on "Frayed," it's safe to assume this key character will pull through. But try telling that to Scott.

Tyler Posey says that this Monday's new episode of the MTV hit is his favorite of the season, largely because it will focus on his character's reaction to Derek passing.

“It shows a side of Scott you’ve never seen before and it was a lot of fun to play and very emotional and everyone on set was crying,” Posey said to EW, adding that viewers ought to prepare some "tissues" and previewing:

"Stiles steps up and becomes the man and shows Scott the right way to go.”

As for the midseason finale of Teen Wolf Season 3? Which will air in August before the series returns this fall for 12 more episodes?

“It’s going to be the biggest thing in Teen Wolf history so far,” Posey teases. “And Scott is going to finally show why he’s the lead of the show.”
