3)Kate was 100% dead. By all measures known to the non-hunters who examined the body, she was dead. "Scott explains that Kate was never in the casket at her funeral. The Calaveras came to check Kate’s body and found her healing. They removed it back to Mexico..." They found HER BODY healing. They didn't find her to be alive.

2) it is the contact - not the grabber. Also, Cora was damaged beyond healing. Sickened so much that Human medicine and her own healing ability were useless. We've never seen a similar case on the show so "spark sapping injuries" and "throat cut injuries" (which we've seen kill twice but not permanently) are very different things.

1) Underground and under a house - there's not a lot of moonlight getting in. The warehouse and the train car had large windows. Direct moonlight generates a boost. We saw it in Season 1 with comatose Peter sitting up in the hospital bed, drawn to the moonlight. We actually saw it with Mrs. Argent too as the moonlight reached her at the moment of her death.

4) Scott was mentally manipulated by Peter in the Season 1 episode Night School.
