@ kev - I'm not disputing what you're saying at all since canon states Theo was given his power artificially.

I was merely "spit balling" an idea that occurred when I read the comments that questioned "how" it was that Theo retained his "classic" powers.

Does my suggestion answer the question satisfactorily? Of course not. It couldn't because current canon conflicts with any attempt to explain the why/how this happened. My idea is just an attempt to understand why the Werewolf and Werecoyote traits remained at least to some small degree.

Bottom line is that you're right, we simply don't know and probably won't be told why/how this happened.
