I always wondered about when Peter came back and bit Derek as the last part of his "resurrection ritual". I first thought that since Peter was alive then the Alpha spark would reverse back to him, which wasn't the case.

Since Derek awoke entombed, much like Peter had been and then had his powers fade, I've had a suspicion that his power somehow went to Peter, especially in light of Peter's sudden displays of strength.

Of course, tbh I've always thought Peter was acting weaker than he really was. I mean how long has he been 'recovering'?

I'm sure we'll get an explanation soon and it may be totally different than what any of us have speculated on. Lol, I know.

"Uh, sorry guys, it's been six and a half months since I came back from the dead, but no, I can't do a damn thing to help you against the Alphas (amend time for Nogitsune/assassins). Sorry. Still....so.....weak. Must.....kick back in Derek's loft.....and read.....while drinking scotch....."

He literally avoided all forms of combat except for that one time when he and Scott fought the Twins in the hospital. And ANYONE would have gotten smacked around by Voltron. Well, any Beta at least. And we saw no sign of this weakness except for the end of Season Two.

Don't forget to add 'while making sassy remarks' to that kicking back in Derek's loft. Even though he allegedly has s own apartment?

No, but for serious. Let's be fair here, he was deader than a doornail and executed his own ressurection. I think we can be a little lenient on the weakness stuff. At least for the Alpha pack. That was only about five months after he came back. But it's approaching a year now. And he's got werewolf healing on his side. Even from the beginning he should've been able to make some showing of physical support for someone. Small displays.

I do think he's been lying for a while. But part of the reason that it feels like it's been too long is the shortness of the shows timeline compared to real world time. For us it's been four years since he died, and about 3-3 1/2 since he came back, but in the show it's been about a year (give or take) since the beginning of s1. When you look at it as under a year, it isn't too horrible. And you can almost understand them not worrying about him too much until now because they've been pretty damn distracted.
