There's also the possibility that Scott just didn't trust himself enough to use the roar during a full moon. As Scott would have to give in & let go to use the roar during a full moon & bring himself back under control. Which would be hard for him to do since he is a bitten wolf.😎 Dude, nobody is forgetting that Liam has anger issues. In season 4, he still wasn't on Scott's level though. Scott also barely knew him, so why would Scott automatically think that Liam is some super powerful beta that can't submit to an Alpha on his first moon, even though stronger betas did in previous seasons?

We know Scott can use this ability already. Scott doesn't have to lose control to roar someone into submission. In fact, it seems like he had to focus to roar Malia back to human form, if anything. He took a deep breath, focused, then roared. This is also season 4 Scott. He could handle a full moon seasons ago. He doesn't need to let go to do this move. We saw him casually do it to Ethan and Aiden in 3b, who are much stronger and experienced than first-time transitioning Liam. It just doesn't make sense for Scott to not even try.

Again, this is just proving my point. We have to make a bunch of speculations and excuses because the writers didn't address the roar as an obvious solution for a beta's first moon. The writers thought it would be easier to ignore this solution for the sake of extending the plot of the episode, or they simply forgot about it.
