With season 5 set at a  whopping 22 episodes, I doubt Kate, Peter or Derek will be dying. Like the end of season 1, 4 will continue into 5. The Mexican hunters are an intergral part of the secondary plot involving Kate. Even though flash back scenes depictied her survivng death and was taken to Mexico to commit suicide, what we saw is not what truly transpired. Gerard arrived before the funeral and given his nature, he would have examined his daughter's body closely. Whether or not he contacted the Calavera family or not is unknown, but it is obvious they have a stake in Beacon Hills. The Aztec Empire was in central Mexico and it is at least a 34-40 hour drive depending on the drivers skill and "avoid police" luck.

Scott's forced transformation into a Berserker may or may not reduce the level of control Kate has over him, however, Deaton will probably have given clues how to defeat the creatures. If Jeff Davis is using the pack bond mentioned in season 3b De-Void, that link will still be effect. Stiles, Lydia, Kira, Liam and Malia should be able to use that link to sever Kate's control. As to removing Kate: machine gun the werecat in half. I hope this does not get removed for using realistic distance.
