That's why Derek wanted Stiles to cut his arm off. But Peter was hit darn near his heart, if not in the heart. It wouldn't take long for the wolfsbane to make it the rest of the way. Liam was stab in the chest(or at least somewhere around the chest) & he was still able to clim up the wall twice. Plus we don't really know how wolfs bane really works. We do see that when it's inhale through smoke it seems to work fast at weakening them. While a laced bullet,dagger thingy(Garret's weapon), & the tomahawk took longer to affect them. Oh & please don't even getting me started on the different types of wolfs bane they seem to use.

It was just my theory anyway of how the fight could have went down. I wouldn't try to promote my theory as canon unless I had enough evidence to back me up.

They specifically mentioned that was a different type of wolfsbane than we've seen before. We can't assume it's the same one the Mute used, because it's hard to get, and we didn't see Deaton heal Peter and it have that weird yellow gas escape.

It's not a bad theory for this show. It's probably close to exactly what the writers are hinging on. But seeing as we didn't see it, and it doesn't make sense without seeing it, it's shoddy writing. I wonder...was that method that Deaton used the only way to get that particular wolfsbane out or was that his method. As Derek's method seems to be just to burn any wolfsbane he doesn't know the type out. Also violet mentioned that particular wolfs bane works fast, hinting that the other wolfs banes work slow compared to that one.
