3) People with no knowledge of the supernatural or werewolf biology said she was dead. Like I said, it's a solid assumption but the Calaveras obviously didn't think she was dead, and it opens up way more questions than it answers (as I said above).

2) I didn't say that the healer had to know what they were doing. I didn't say it was an active process. All I said is that the healer's hand has to be on the injured party. Yes, Isaac didn't know what he was doing. Yes, it was automatic. But his hand was on the dog.

1) I'll agree to "partially deprived" given what we've seen from canon thus far.

4) Derek seemed pretty convinced that Scott was fully in Peter's thrall from the get-go. And pack dynamics is another thing that is really unexplained -- is an Alpha's bite enough to make someone a pack member? Liam seemed to be part of Scott's pack pretty fast, but the ones in the pack who Scott didn't bite may have needed more work (Isaac pretty much joined during a time gap, same with Malia, but is Derek in Scott's pack or not? Were the twins? So much we don't know!) I would agree there's definite similarities between what happened to Scott and what happened to Lydia, but there's also a number of differences.

Like I said -- I don't necessarily think you're wrong. Personally, I like both the theories that have shown up in this thread, but they've just got some flaws because we don't have enough information.
