She then abandoned her house, rather than going to the police, or trying to contact her big brother/sister who were both at school at the time of the fire. She then somehow made it to South America, and lived there doing......whatever it was she did, for 6-10 years (I think it was confirmed to be 6?) before hearing about a new Hale Alpha (somehow) and coming home, only to be caught by the Alpha Pack and locked in a bank vault (how?).

That enough plot hole's for you, Seany? You see JEK, the reason Cora survived the fire without getting a scratch on her (or burn, not sure what to put either) is because she was never their when the fire took place. You see in the episode "Unleashed" Cora said & I quote “I can't believe I got my ass thrown in a vault for three months for you. All those rumors I heard; a powerful new alpha, one of the Hales, building a pack. Do you know how long I've waited to hear something like that?! Do you have any idea how it felt to find out you were alive?!”

Now doesn't that last part strike you as interesting? Why would she think DEREK had died in the fire if she was their when the fire was happening in the first place. Simple, because she wasn't their when the fire took place. I believe Peter knows this as well seeing as he was actually their when it happened. Remember when Derek was setting up the emitters(season3 episode 3 I believe), Peter showed up & had a talk with Derek.

peter wasn't even surprised when Derek told him Cora was alive. In the episode "Frayed"Peter & Cora was trying to figure out if they could trust each other, Cora was quick to argue that Peter "had known her for 17 years" causing Peter to argue back that he's "known her for 11 leaving the other six unaccounted for". Mind you the hale house fire happend (According to stiles) "like 10 years ago". If anything the real big plot hole here is The Hale House Fire.

PS: I would have replied sooner but every time I tried the thing kept saying "Loading Editor" & would just keep saying that for this page.

Name: Sean

The show retconnned when the fire happened. Stiles did say ten years in the pilot, but subsequent episodes has stated it as 6 from s1. Seven years by now, actually.

Anyway. Cora still doesn't make sense though, because where would she have been? And why wouldn't she have known Derek and Laura weren't at the house to find them after the fire? 10/11 year olds know what their older siblings are doing. We just do. Normally because we want to hang out with them.

You can't call the hale house fire a big plot hole wiout including the characters associated with it as a plot hole also.
