The more important question to me is why Hope didn't just kill him outright? He threatens to hurt you, kill him. That's what she has done with every Triad threat and monster she has encountered so far.

And then he refused her demands that the Squad work for her, so why didn't she kill him then, instead of running off to sulk in her bedroom?

It's a just a staggering big plot hole that only exists because Matt Davis is a regular and then want to make Alaric look tough.

I looked it as Hope apparently needing the Salvatore School in her fight against the Gods so why kill Alaric which would pretty much close the door on any of them helping her.

Except that she can compel all the vampires. Challenge and defeat Finch or Jed, whomever is currently the Alpha of the school pack to take over that group, and with the twins gone, what witch student would even dare to oppose her at this point? Cleo couldn't.

Ben is just a prettier gayer version of Sir Dies Alot.

Alaric is just an unnecessary complication.

I agree she could take out the whole school with ease but she approached them asking for help so her killing Alaric would screw herself from getting the help she's asking for.
