Umm, no?

He threw a hunter across the room. Ordinary people can do this. Betas can do this. Its really not that great.

He's heat resistant. Well great. Except that he was facing a 15 year old girl, who probably shouldn't have been able to bring down any werewolves at all.*

Derek thinks he's gonna be a good Alpha. Whoop de fricking do. When has Derek's opinion been good for anything. You know who made a terrible Alpha? Derek. His opinion on Scott is pretty much worthless, imo.

Lets talk facts for a second. Scott lost to the berserkers, that were defeated by 1 beta wolf. Scott hasn't been able to use/utilize hardly any of his super senses. Smell, thermal vision, etc. His plan to save Derek not only failed, but didn't even point in the right direction. He tied (lost?) to a mere wendigo. And most importantly Scott has been outmanuvered by every single opponent thus far.

Does anyone remember the first two seasons and how clever Scott is/was? When his mom was going to be eaten (oh, pun so definately intended) by Peter, Scott arranged for a minor car accident.**  When Derek was outhunting Scott, he managed a trick with his phone to throw him off. When Gerard threatened Scott to force him to cooperate and Derek tried to force him into the pack, Scott went rogue and played both of them for his own ends and comes out on top.

My point is, Scott used to be plenty powerful, and fairly smart. Getting him back to normal powerful and still kinda dumb isn't a huge accomplishment.


 * Seriously, where/when did she train for this profession?  How is she so much more competant than the hunters who seem to spend years learning the craft and always, ALWAYS work in teams.


 * You know who was a great Alpha.  Peter Hale.  Smart, powerful, driven and he always had a backup plan.  When Peter tells Scott he'd make a great Alpha, then you have something.

I agree with everything you said, except for the heat resistant comment. That is pretty impressive, seeing as we just saw earlier in the episode that, that's not a normal ability. The blonde girl had her hand severed by that thing. And as far as Violet herself, it's curious how she got in the job, but nothing we've seen is physically very impressive. She comes up behind people and choke/decapitates them with a special necklace. The necklace is the impressive part, not her. And plenty of high school girls are good at chemistry.
