As for Scott, he was an Alpha for like... a couple months, tops and it was relatively peaceful during those months. There was no reason for him to test out his new abilities since he still wanted a relatively normal life. The twins being former alphas has nothing to do with this, that's completely irrelevant to the situation.

You don't honestly believe that do you? "There was no reason for him to test out his new abilities", how about the fact that Kincaid could've killed him and Stiles was being possessed, some people would call that the prefect chance to test his new powers. We don't know what happens to an Alpha when they go back to being a Beta. For all we know, they could be slightly more powerful than a Beta that never became an Alpha. Not to say that they are, but they could be.

What exactly is he supposed to do about Stiles being possessed? I'm pretty sure beating a spirit out of someone is literally impossible. Especially considering Stiles was possessed by a supernatural creature that could only have been killed by the Oni or trapped in a magic wooden box or trapped under a supernatural tree. The fact remains that Scott isn't the type of Alpha to just mindlessly kill things. So yes, he could have hulked out on Stiles, damaged his body, force him to take the Bite, etc., but that's not the kind of guy he is.

When he fought Kincaid, he told the Twins that they were there to save a life, not end one. Scott's intent was never to kill. So yes, there was no reason for him to test out his new powers prior to that moment. As I stated before:   '' it was relatively peaceful during those months before the Nogitsune issues began. As such, there was no reason for Scott to have tested his new Alpha abilities during that time frame. ''
