Peter bit Scott. Derek theorized that if a bitten werewolf kills the one who bites him, he may be cured. But there's the added complication that Peter has already died, so is this theory null and void anyway?

I feel like it could be an interesting twist on the show (perhaps not this season, but for a series finale) if Scott were to take down the Big Bad (Peter) and in doing so, save his friends and cure himself. It was pretty strongly implied that Derek was bullshitting Scott. Considering how it appears to be common knowledge amongst werewolves that if you kill an Alpha, you become one, then it seems more likely than not.

Of course, they left a little wiggle room with that whole "bitten" thing, but it's unlikely Scott would be happy returning to being merely human again. Especially if he had all his human weaknesses again (like his asthma). It might happen, temporarily, but it would not be a series finale (maybe a season finale). It would just be depressing if it was permanent.
