Talk:Peter Hale/@comment-4802762-20120710010255

I'm not saying I believe it but there is a possibility that he's alive. In wolf and werewolf lore, when a wolf is challenged, he has two options: Get killed by his attacker or give up his status as Alpha. Peter could have just as easily given away his status, faked his death and retreated into the woods to heal. Derek and his "pack" could have just assumed that he was dead because the attack on him could have easily killed him so they did not bother to look for him. Also, he could have assumed that because he had the Alpha powers, Peter was dead (Derek may be Alpha and come from a family of wolves but he is still young and is not all-knowing).

Also stated in werewolf lore, when you are turned, your creator leaves a part of him- or herself with you. That could explain why only Lydia is seeing Peter and repeating phrases of his that she was not around to hear.

BUT, there is also a possibility that he is dead but his spirit is trapped inside of Lydia and those "hallucinations" are him trying to tell her to help resurrect him.

Or he could just be dead-dead. But how about we not keep such a closed mind. It is only season 2. Other shows have brought back dead characters when it was absolutely clear that that character would NEVER come back and those shows have surpassed Teen Wolf by FAR (Charmed being my main example).
