I think these are fascinating and important points. There is something between the Hales and the Argents. And, I find it continually fascinating that we know next to nothing about the Hales - although Jeff Davis has hinted that we're not done seeing them yet - as in there's at least one more alive.

But, for all that the Argents hunt werewolves, the werewolves haven't struck back at them. I mean, they could be sneaky about it - if Derek truly wanted them dead, he wouldn't have to use his claws, there are other ways. Yet, it's the predators that are less interested in violence and proving who's toughest.
