The season has 20 episodes, this is the mid season finale, thus it was only ten.

The simple reason for why braedan showed up without Derek is that Tyler hoechlin didn't renew his contract, and so was unavailable to be the return character.

I'm honestly hoping they don't transfer that storyline to Scott. Scott got true alpha, Derek got evolved. They've already transferred some of Derek's traits to other characters, like Brett and his sister surviving a fire, and theo having the full wolf form. Besides, I don't think Scott is in the same mental place that Derek was.
