Spoilers for Teen Wolf episode 3.04 "Unleashed."
Up until this week's episode, I thought Deucalion wanted Derek to join the Alpha pack, but I don't think that's the case anymore. Instead, I think Deucalion is going to use Derek to get to Scott.
In the first episode of this season, the woman who saved Isaac said that Scott is a threat to Deucalion...not so much teenage Scott but rather who he will grow up to be. There are two ways to deal with a threat: eliminate it or find a way to use it for your own purposes.
The Alpha pack is strong enough to kill all the werewolves in Beacon Hills, but they haven't done that yet. Why not? Because Deucalion doesn't go for the quick fix. Maybe his end-plan is getting Scott to join the Alpha pack. That neutralizes Scott as a threat and actually adds to his own power.
We've seen Scott fight forces that are stronger than him and win, so it's possible that Scott could kill an Alpha, especially if he has a chance to prepare for the fight.
The question is, does Deucalion want Scott to kill Derek or one of the other Alphas?
I see a couple possible situations.
1. Deucalion manipulates Derek into killing one of his pack (Boyd or Isaac) so that Derek absorbs the beta's power. Deucalion said that after the first kill, Derek will want to kill the rest of his pack—he won't need any more persuasion. That's where Scott comes in to stop Derek. Their confrontation ends in Derek's death, and Scott becomes a stronger-than-normal Alpha.
2. Scott fights one of the other Alphas, kills him or her, and then becomes an Alpha.
Scott knows who Deucalion is, so I don't know why he would want to join the Alpha pack, but either of these situations would set him up to do that.
The main catch is, Scott doesn't want to kill anyone unless there's absolutely no other option. Things will have to get pretty messy for him to take on an Alpha.
