Maybe if Stiles got the bite he would die because his main purpose in life is to help and support his werewolf friend, not become one. Maybe Lydia became a Banshee because the world for some reason needed one. What I'm saying sounds completely dumb, so I should assume that it's how/who you are bitten by or where in the body you were bitten. The part about Lydia makes me think about the stuff Morrell is always saying about balance. Perhaps nature has a way of balancing everything out...like you said if the world needed a banshee, nature intervened and provided one by causing the bite to turn Lydia into a banshee rather than a werewolf...and if she was chosen for that from the get go then yes that would be destiny.

It's an interesting theory...and it really kind of fits with the themes Jeff has brought in lately. Scott, Allison, and Stiles vision with stumpy had "destiny" written all over it. They were all at the nemeton in the beginning and came full circle with the sacrifice ritual that gave it power...which in turn is leading them to become protectors of Beacon HIlls.

There would still be unanswered questions about how Peter would know what would happen or how he knew Lydia wouldn't turn in the first place. Something about her had to stand out to him that screamed "immune" for her to be a part of his backup plan. Yet another answer I'm looking for...hopefully the Peter/Lydia banshee episode will address some of this in 3B.
