Sure Peter was relieved...because if Scott WERE dead, then a large part of Peters money would have been paid out to whomever collected. He doesn't want the ppl on the list to be killed and someone else collect "his" money. The fewer ppl that are killed the less money the Benefactor pays out...Peter wants to catch the Benefactor before anymore money is paid....it's that simple. I still can't quite figure out Peter's game plan. If he wanted Scott's Alpha power, he could have taken it at any time, because, you know, it's Scott. The only reason I can think of as to why he waited is because of circumstance (all the irritating supes who just so happen to fixate on Scotty boy and his "pack"; Peter didn't want to deal with it, I guess?), and because, no matter which way you play it, no matter how clever you are, no matter whether or not anyone saw you do it, eventually someone's going to work out you murdered Scott the world's slowest Alpha. And then it all reverts to Plan "Kill Everyone".

Which I don't think Peter wants to do. He wants to rule, he wants to control. He doesn't want to indiscriminately slaughter the only people he still has any ties to. Like Derek, for instance....or his daughter.......

So, how do you get around that? And still get the power you desire? Can't think of anything except, kill Satomi. And that still wouldn't end well for him. Any ideas?
