I hold to the "become an alpha by killing one" philosophy. It seems as if Derek's alpha status would go to Scott should he die. That's why I think Scott eyes change at different times.

In Frayed, Derek was fighting and may have taken a hard blow. In Motel Cali, Derek had been seriously hurt from the fight. In Currents, Derek is challenged to a fight by Kali.

To me, it seems every time Derek gets hurt, Scott's eyes change color. That leads me to believe that Scott is Derek's "beneficiary" in a way, and is not just getting alpha status naturally.
