Boyd's was because he felt responsible for the death of Alicia...not sure who she is...but does anybody understand Ethan's hallucination? It looked like he was scared of morphing into the big Alpha. It might have to do with his and Aiden's ability to merge. Maybe that was him saying that he no longer wants to merge with Aiden, hence him trying to cut "Aiden" out of his body (it was Aiden who fisted Ethan's back, right?)

I think it was definately about the merging. Though when I watched it I thought the fear was maybe more about them getting 'stuck', like they merged and couldn't unmerge, therefore leaving one entity where there should have been two. Like in a way, they lost their individuality. Because even though they combine, they are still two very different people, and I think losing that would be horrible. I honestly don't think that it has anything to do with the merging. I think it has something to do with their betas--the ones the twins killed in order to "free" themselves of their pack and join the Alpha Pack. It was said in the previous episodes that whenever an alpha kills his or her beta, he or she would actually acquire their strength. Ergo, it can be said that alphas who do this "consume" their previous pack to be stronger. I think that this hallucination plays on Ethan's guilt over what he did with his brother in order to be stronger. This was an awesome, and mildy disturbing, theory. I mean, the Alpha's sort of inherit/absorb their Beta's powers when they kill them, right? Imagine if the person trying to claw their way out of Ethan was a Beta he killed to join the Alpha Pack.
