Derek told them that if they ran they would always be running, but he allowed them the choice and he spent months looking for them. When he was holding Erica's body you could tell how much it hurt him. When Boyd died, he told Derek it was all worth it. He was peaceful when he died. It was heartwrenching but we able see that  Erica died with dignity.

Derek went into the boiler room with Cora and Boyd knowing he might die and he was willing. He has faced some pretty insurmountable odds. A kanima that 6 bullets to the chest couldn't kill or his slashing it throat didn't kill or Allison piercing it through it's skull couldn't kill. Alpha's that have killed their own packs which I assume means they have the strength of at least 3 other betas plus their alpha spark inside them. He has been doing pretty well from where I am watching.

Then he loses two of his own pack which would weaken him. How do you expect him to win? Some of you slay me. He needs his advisor and not Peter or a Dararch.

I completely agree with you. Everyone says that "oh derek sucks as an alpha" but they're forgetting all the times he stood up and fought instead of fleeing away. He always takes the burden and he truly cares about his pack. And this episode we see him sacrifice his powers for Cora. He's a great alpha, he's just put in incredibly difficult situations.
