1) I doubt Laura Hale woiuld have killed Mama Hale to steal her power even assuming she was there last minute. How Laura became Alpha harkens back to something I heard quite some time ago as well as how Alpha's are selected in regular Wolf Packs as well. Natrual Progression in a pack shows when the Alpha dies (from old age or the Hunt) another wolf in the pack rises up and takes over that role. In this case Laura being the oldest, most experienced werewolf left alive and functioning in the Hale Pack made her the Alpha. Another example where this was hinted was during Motel California when Scott haulcinated his eyes turning Alpha Red and from the phone call from Deucalion (again both haulcinations) where the man told Scott he was an Alpha now and Scott replying no he wasn't Derek could still be alive. That again hints that Scott would have taken over as Alpha of Dereks pack since after Derek he was most experienced and strongest. Peter of course still being far to weak compared to Scott to take over as Alpha again. To me this all points back to how Laura became Alpha. That leads me to my second point of contention.

2) Why is everyone assuming Derek is looking for some mysterious "Item"? I've looked all over the last several episodes leading to the end in Lunar Ellipse and NO WHERE does it say Derek is looking for an "Item" The exact phrase I believe Scott uses in the monologue in the end is..."I hope he finds what he's looking for." The tone of this indicates he's speaking in metaphor. Derek has taken off with his sister Cora in what appears to be a journey of soul searching or perhaps the sense of family he wanted to find with his sister since he didn't want to be seperated from her again. "Finding what one is looking for" is a colloquial metaphor (often called...an IDIOM) and shouldn't nessecarily be taken literally. Of course if he is actually looking for an item it would be awesome of you if you could show me where it says that so I can modify my arguements accordingly.

Thats pretty much my arguement. As I said I'd be grateful if you could provide me details of anything I missed or why its wrong (with evidence) and I'll adjust accordingly :) Inheritance thing, thank you. And thank you for stating it so much more elaborately and eloquently than I did
