Deucalion grew stronger by killing his betas. As far as I recall, when an Alpha kills one of his Betas, some of the Beta's energy is absorbed by the Alpha. Deucalion found out about it after losing his sight for the first time, one of his Betas wanted to take his place as he thought Deuc wasn't fit for leadership anymore. When he killed his Beta he found out that his strengh and power grew. The Alpha pack in itself wasn't a true Werwolf pack, more an alliance under Deuc's Leadership. So in theory, Deuc should still be the same powerful werewolf that he was in season 3. Unless TeenWolf changed the rules again...

I too support the theory of Deucalion having let the chimeras beat him on purpose. I think he just put up a fight to make it believable. In my opinion, Deuc has a hidden Agenda himself (and I'm not talking about his intention to kill Scott, or as he puts it, to have Scott's eyeballs on his claws).

One option that hasn't been mentioned yet (at least I haven't seen it anywhere) is that Deucalion wants to help Scott. Here'y my Train of thoughts: Deucalion was depicted as a visionary (before his sight was taken from him). His plan was to make a deal with the hunters which would ensure a some sort of peace. He arranged a meeting with the hunters (under Gerard's leadership). Gerard crossed Deucalion and shot a silverarrow in each of Deuc's eyes. Only then did Deucalion change. He killed his first Beta, a kill which can almost be considered as an accident since Deuc originally only defended himself. He then killed the rest of his pack and found other Alphas who would join his cause. He also tried to recruit Derek. I think that his plan was to build up an "army" of werewolves so strong, no hunter would dare to attack them. His plan was also to recruit Scott. Killing him was Option B, because Deuc took Scott seriously. He saw him as a potential threat to his cause. Furthermore, Scott let him go. To me, it looked like they partet ways in a good way. Yes Scott and Derek warned him never to try that Kind of stunt again, but other than that, they focused on Deuc's original Vision and encouraged him to go down this path again. I seriously don't see why Deuc should still have a Beef with Scott. I've thought similat things. That he's playing the goon to Theo, but actually doesn't plan on helping Theo, at all. I think that Deuc really doesn't think Theo can take Scott when it comes down to it.

That's all theory... but the way I see it, Deuc made it clear in 3A that Scott had potential. He even said something about being afraid of the man Scott would become. I simply don't think that has changed.... and actually, according to events that occurred in 3A mid season finale, his suspiciousions should have been verified. I think he was even shocked that Scott got past the mountain ash.

I just don't think he thinks so highly of Theo. Even if Deuc doesn't plan on helping Scott, entirely, I still think he thinks of Theo as a minor player in the big picture. Theo is nothing but a tool. That's my thinking, ayway.

So, it could be VERY possible that Deuc is positioning himself to get something he wants, and using "fingers on the end of my claws" to convince Theo that he will help him. Deuc himself may plan on trying to steal the Beasts power. He may want to help Scott (which isn't a stretch, because he has done so before).

We just really don't know at this point.... but I think we can all assume that there's a little more to the story than we know.
