1) way back season 1, derek tells scott of a cure. "you have to kill the one that bit you"

i think it was strange that the writers revealed this concept yet did not confirm whether this is true or not. and there was no mention of it ever since. Uh...the entire show since S1 ended confirmed that it was false. Peter died and Scott was still a werewolf, therefore the 'cure' didn't work.

To address the wording Derek used, in case someone thinks that makes a difference; I highly doubt that Scott would have been cured even if he were the one to kill Peter, instead of Derek, in fact Scott probably would have become the Alpha if HE had killed Peter. aha, but we dont know that for sure, because certain conditions (scott killing peter, the beta killing the alpha that turned him) have been met and we dont know all the exceptions.....

no other alphas in the world theory can hold true, IF and only IF betas cannot transfer to other packs. The thing is, it's self-destructive for the species, to have it work like that. If the Alpha power can be extinguished like that, not passed on, not transfered, on a regular basis? Eventually there would be no more Alphas. I suppose on occasion, under certain circumstances (like Derek's healing of Cora) it might be if not acceptable, understandable.

But considering that (from what we know) Alpha sparks get bounced around between people, occasionally extinguished, and occasionally new Alphas (True Alphas) will appear from the ether, then if that were true, it would not be sustainable for the species. Though it would force Alphas to be cautious when biting new wolves.....
