I have to agree with Paul that I don't think the events at the party were too much related to this -- if I had to come up with a motive I'd say that Lydia didn't want anyone at her party paying attention to what she was doing. It wasn't to distract Scott, Stiles, and Allison and keep them from Peter, it was to keep all of the guests from Lydia (which, given that she's the host and the birthday girl, was gonna take some more extreme measures). That's totally a guess, there's plenty of options of what it could be, but that's my thought.

There's still plenty of questions -- even if Paul's thoughts about the resurrection are right.

1) Peter makes a big deal about the Worm Moon which makes it seem like that one in particular allows for a resurrection to take place. If he'd died in April, would he have had to wait like a year or was it just some sort of metaphorical coincidence that the Worm Moon happened to have the right timing for his hold on Lydia's mind?

2) How did Peter know Lydia was immune in the first place?

I've seen some people suggest he didn't know until he bit her -- but, why bite her in the first place then? He wasn't biting people willy-nilly at this point like when he bit Scott. I've also seen a theory that when Lydia screamed when she saw him bust out of the window way back in "The Tell" he may have heard something in her voice that made him realize she was a banshee. And I love that theory (partly because I never thought it made sense that they were renting The Notebook from a store like that -- but if Lydia's powers were already starting to manifest it makes more sense. It means Peter's bite didn't activate them, though, but perhaps it super-charged them or something?) But that leads us to another question...

3) If Lydia wasn't a banshee but was immune some other way would Peter have been able to interact with her like that? Would he have been able to plant suggestions in her head? Or did it only work because of her latent powers?

4) Was a banshee's presence necessary for the resurrection to work?
