Scott: You taught Kate, you helped her... all for power.

Peter: For my family's power. To be rightfully inherited by me. Not usurped by some idiot teenage boy...

So... it was certainly about power. As far as I know, Peter never said he couldn't take it. Also, he did seem to be letting Liam and Malia do most of the work while Scott was in Berserker mode.

That brings us to 5A Ep 2. Deaton says that the only one who should be able to take the power is a beta of Scott's making. However, he also says that he's beginning to wonder if the rules aren't as rigid as he thought.

Interpret this how you want.... but, I'm going to stick with my thought that we really don't know anything for certain.

Cheers.
