@Sean

Well, a couple of things.

He wasn't suspicious of Matt because he thought he we was too good-looking, something about the guy just rubbed him the wrong way. He had no idea why he got such a bad feeling about him, so he just tossed out random reasons, like he looked weird, ro some nonsense like that.

I wouldn't call Peter "pure evil". Gerard was a total psychopath, who didn't give a crap about his family, and was just looking for an excuse to go after Derek to turn himself into a werewolf/Alpha. Peter, on the other hand, seems to only care about one thing in the entire world apart from himself: his family. His entire arc in S1 was seeking vengeance for what had been done to him and the only one's that mattered to him. What he actually did was fairly justifiable, truth be told. And everything else that he does...........well, it's because he's selfish and arrogant/narcissistic/ insanely proud of his family's name/legacy. That's why he moved on Scott; he saw him as unworthy. I'd say all of that makes him a fairly terrible person, but I wouldn't call him evil. Just selfish.

And Scott ONE HUNDRED PERCENT has problems with killing people. His entire arc since S2 has focused around him being afraid to do that, believing that it'll make him a monster. Hell, they gave us a peek into his conflicted subconscious in S4, whilst he was "dead", and that showed very clearly how much the whole idea affected him. He was desperately trying to convince himself that he didn't need to become a killer (because he associated that as being the same thing as a monster), yet he seemed confused, and couldn't quite seem to grasp his own logic. Honestly, for quite a bit of that season, he seemed to be looking for a reason he could understand that justified killing; like in that conversation with his father, following the shooting at the school. He's not at a point yet where he's accepted that it's sometimes necessary. He'll get there I think, but as of right now he's still terrified of it (which is perfectly understandable, if  more than a little annoying at times). Meaning those threats to Duke and others? Completely impotent, and we all knew it. And so did the people he was threatening, most likely.......
