Werewolves lose control on the full moon.

Even for Derek - a werwolf for many years - maintaining control is a bit of struggle.

We saw in Season 2 that Derek's betas all became stronger and more violent during the full moon and he had trouble controling just one of them. Isaac actually took on Boyd (if I'm remembering right) so it's no easy task controling any werewolf on the full moon.

Liam's pre-existing issues (fits of uncontrollable rage) added to the "I don't know what's happening to me" and the full force of the full moon made him particularly hard to control.

Scott - while trying to maintain control himself and not wishing to hurt Liam in any substantial way - was holding back significantly.

Liam is Scott's first bite so his first official Beta.
