About Derek appearing equal that was on the writers. So I'm not sure why they were portrayed as near equals. Maybe it has his Hale blood. Don't know.

Again with Scott, I just tried to come up with a plausible theory on how well he performed. Given how it was said that Omegas are the weakest, Betas are stronger, and when Betas are in a pack they get even stronger. Again the writers do a poor job in showing any difference between an Omega and a "Pack-Beta". And since Scott was the only Omega shown in detail, the other died rather quickly, you would have to use him as a base-line on the strength of an Omega. As I've said and what has been shown, Scott has been pretty much equal to the other Betas. And then for some magical reason, Scott was able to turn into an Alpha under his own power. What's easier to believe? Scott was an unusually powerful Omega that changed into an Alpha or that Scott was outside the grading curve of werewolf hierarchy while turning into an Alpha. Explains why he was so on par with other Betas. Otherwise it kind of screws up with what the writer's say about how werewolves in a pack are stronger. Scott is an outlier. Really can't use him in comparison to other werewolf states.

And to your last question ? ? ? ? ? Never mentioned anything about why Deucalion wanted Derek or about getting Scott to join him. I assume that Deucalion wanted Derek to join his pack to add to his power and to add the reputation of the Hale name to whatever his goals were. And if Deucalion had Derek he probably assumed that Scott might be more easily persuaded to join him.
