I mean the most likely possibility is that Jeff and Co ar simply treading water, seeing as how they are seemingly incapable of writting a decent story arc post season 2 (and even that was iffy compared to th glorious first season). However there is a slight possibility (and it is my dearest, most naive hope) that they are actually considering logic and lore when writing Derek's character this season. Consider the following.

We all know Derek uses anger to control the shift. That means he's been purposefully keeping himself locked between a state of emotional void to stay human and red hot rage when he needs power. This isn't a healthy or productive livestyle. It wears a person down to nothing. And he's lived like this at least since the fire.

It's possible (and my headcannon) that this is the first time in a decade or maybe ever that Derek, has let himself relax and just be a person. Agreed. Derek has come along way. In 3B he became a true hero - constantly putting his life at risk to save others, being by Scott's side and trying anyway he could to help the pack. I think that seeing his mother in wolf form (via the claws) really helped him gain perspective and learn to be human. I still want him to turn back into a werewolf though.
