Ravensong77 wrote This is one of the reasons that I think Peter was Talia's eyes and ears (or second in command). I know a lot of people see Talia as this wonderful loving moral mother that taught Derek what was right. And she may have indeed been that but it's a lot easier to wave that black and while moral flag when you don't have to do the dirty work yourself.

In that one scene where she changes from wolf to human again and Deucalion robes her they may have been going for a regal and royal feel but she came across as condescending and arrogant to me...I know that's just going to be my personal perception but I could conceivably see someone in that type of position letting it go to their heads and seeing others as lower than themselves.

I could also see her passing over Peter in favor of Derek for the next alpha not because she saw Derek has having more potential but because Derek could uphold the reputation of the Hale name better. Peter would not have that same moral compass as you put it...why should he if he's being doing all the dirty work behind the scenes...doing that for so long is bound to warp someone's idea of right and wrong. In the end he would not have a reputation of a morally upright Hale that always did the right thing but more than likely would be viewed as the black sheep of the family(I think you pointed this out in another post that even Jennifer seemed to know him in the end). In other words Peter would not have the right image to represent the Hale family.

At the same time I don't think the Hale family can function without him. If he really was doing all the dirty work for Talia behind the scenes so that Talia could keep her good reputation and image clean then it stands to reason that if Derek followed the same pattern he would need someone to do his dirty work as well. And by dirty work I mean getting rid of bodies like Peter did with Paige and spying like Peter does so well.

Anyway just speculation yet once again on my part.

I agree with what you say about Talia and Peter. I have often thought that Peter has unique gifts or some other type of traits that maybe no one else has. His knowledge of things is almost unparalleled. If you think back to Season 1, everytime he did anything there were things that sort of foretold his appearance such as wind picking up, lightning, etc. It almost seems like maybe Peter has some druid-like abilities that haven't been completely explored yet.

We know that he was able to make some type of connection with Lydia and through some form of power or magic he was able to use her to resurrect himself. It almost seems like he knows what is about to happen before it happens. Maybe he has some form of precognition? I point that out due to him knowing about the Alpha pack coming among other things. He just always seems to know EXACTLY where to go, who to follow, etc. He may be in tune with the currents of Beacon Hills far more than we realize.

I understand all of this is speculation but there is far more mysteries surrounding Peter than what has been revealed about him. If he did have some form of precognition maybe he was somehow testing things by speeding up the Paige bite? Maybe he was trying to avoid something larger from happening or knew something about Paige and her family that is yet to be exposed? It all comes back to this: why would he care about Paige and Derek's relationship? Did Talia set him up to all of this? IDK....so many questions that really don't have any concrete answers until we see how the show unfolds! Grrr.....LOL.
