Okay...I will put my bucket down for a moment...lol

I don't think that Derek was necessarily the runt of the litter...however, he might have been the youngest. And I realize that we don't know that. I will confess that it does seem that Peter knows more than Derek but that might be because he is older, he spies more, and he searches more, and he was Talia's brother.

I guess when I really attempt to clear my brain...lol...Derek lost his first love tragically through some slick manipulation. His second attempt at love got his most of his family destroyed. And didn't he tell Cora he wasn't going to leave her again in Season 3a...when she was in the hospital. It got me wondering at the time if he had run away and abdicated the throne so to speak...when all hell broke loose in Beacon Hills.

It might explain why Talia asked Deaton specifically to look after Derek. Not so much that he was a runt, but that he was the youngest and the most damaged by the events....just a thought...but my brain is scrambled.

However, I don't buy into the runt theory...youngest...maybe, but not runt....

and she returns to her bucket and sprinkles more dust.... ;)
