Friendly reminder that Derek Hale came back at the beginning of the series to the town where most of his family was either murdered or incapacitated to follow his big sister, his Alpha, only to find her cut in half, with a new wolf wandering around, a new Alpha lurking and the family responsible for killing his back on his land. Friendly reminder that, after burying half of his sister’s body, the first thing he did was follow the new wolf so that he would not hurt his girlfriend, the niece of the woman who abused him and destroyed his life. Friendly reminder that he brought her home, safe and sound, after Scott freaked out and abandoned her at the party, even though his best friend tried to convince him that this was going to happen and that he shouldn’t go. Friendly reminder that Derek Hale had Allison Argent in his car and didn’t stop to think about hurting her to get back at her family, even though nobody could have blamed him. Friendly reminder that when Scott asked where she was, Derek said ‘safe from you’. Friendly reminder Derek already went through this and the outcome was that his first girlfriend died. Friendly reminder that, though Scott McCall is portrayed as the protagonist of the series, Derek Hale is its hero, from the first episode.
