Very good theory, in Venomous Derek said when a person becomes a shapeshifter it reflects the person they are. In Restraint, we learn the kanima is a supernatural mutation of the werewolf 'bite'. But it can cure the 'mutation' and become a werewolf when the character trait of the said shapeshifter that caused it to become a kanima is resolved. Jackson has some serious personality flaws because he learned he was adopted. He's so vindictive, obsessive and arrogant because he never met his real parents, he strives so hard to be perfect. This is the trait that manifested the Kanima mutation when Derek bit him. If Jackson can resolve it he could reverse the mutation, I'm hoping he doesn't die at the end of Season 2.
