It's kind of sad, I've actually really enjoyed 3b so far even though I can't disagree with the fact that Scott's abilities seem to be panning out illogically. Again, I'd say it's a possibility (or at least a safety net from scrutiny by the writers) that Scott is still figuring out his still pretty new found powers (I mean it's been technically what? 3 weeks since he fully awoke them? There was only like a 2 week skip between 3a and 3b, right?). Not saying this is a fair excuse since the 'True Alpha' was hyped to be this super incredibly powerful being that even Deucalion felt threatened by. Idk. Maybe Scott needs to go to Deaton for advice or Derek or the twins for more training in how to use his Alpha abilities. He could also still be afraid of using his abilities to their full extent for fear of losing control even though this may belittle his whole overcoming-his-fear-to-save-the-coyote-girl-moment. Also I get that the 'True Alpha' is still an Alpha and all, but since that status is achieved by the sheer power of moral will, wouldn't it make more sense for the 'True Alpha' to be naturally good and there not to be much of a struggle against the animalistic side of being a wolf? 1 Like someone said earlier Decualion was never scared of Scott. He wanted to make a pefect pack and wanted to add scott to his collection or prevent him from being one. The whole season he was trying to push scott to either become one or kill someone. Why would you push someone to become something that you were afraid of. 2 if you remember in season 1 Derek got hit with a taser and it jacked him up bad. Scott got hit with a lot more than that. As for the pipe to the head in another discussion we pretty much talked about how werewolves are barely above human level when they're not actively using there powers. 3 its almost impossible to judge streangth and skill level of alphas because none of the fights mirror each other. In season 1 Peter fought 2 betas. In season 2 Derek fought a kanima and did pretty well considering. In season 3 Derek fought Alphas who were technically juiced up on beta power so he should have lost anyway except he always held his own with ennis. Kali was just literally a better fighter and even those fights werent as one sided as they should have been based on what weve been told. Another thing that people never give derek credit for is that with the exception of the twins. All the other alphas that season had been alphas since Derek was a kid. Their streangth and experience by that alone should have been way above his. Also the true alpha thing is streangth of will never saying anything about morals and it would also seem his issue with controlling the wolf stimmed from the open door and he seems good now. Barely above human level?!!?! Spoilers for the new episode:

Derek didn't even transform and had no trouble holding back Liam, an angry beta.

... So ... Sorry, but this is where I'll interrupt. Many a times has the show emphasized general differences and similarities between Scott and Derek. Derek doesn't hesitate to do what must be done, which includes forcefully restraining an out of control Beta. Scott's different in that perspective. Yes, he realizes he needs to do something, he just can't come to fully fufilling that role.....yet
