Lydia and Scott's relationship is so important to me, but its development is so interesting. Mainly, they are the last of the original pack to become actual friends. It's easy to forget but is s1 lydia was "into" scott, it was more of a power thing but she literally made out with him and was constantly flirting with him in front of jackson and allison. But lydia was the odd one out back then, and Scott didn't know or even really care about her they way he even did Jackson. She was Stiles' crush and Allison's best friend but not his friend in anything other than a group sense. In s2, pretty much everyone (sans stiles at least on purpose) ignores her. He tries to stop derek from killing her, but it's not out of specific care for her. Allison literally has to convince him to help her at her party bc it's their fault she's a social outcast now. Then when he and allison break up allison gets lydia and scott gets stiles and they stay separate through the summer until they have to work together again. Then in 3a when aiden says that they knew either danny or lydia would be important to scott but now they know its lydia, it's odd bc up until that point scott was significantly closer to danny, lydia was just more important supernaturally (not that anyone knew why yet)/storywise. She is now a full-fledged part of the team for the first time by mid 3a. But is the nogitsune and the death of allison that really ties together in an unspoken way. They both were attacked by peter and forced into a role of being responsible for the balance of the supernatural world, they both will never be the same after losing Allison, they both love stiles, they are both coming to understand they are incredibly powerful, taking the top two spots on the dead pool (being worth 25 and 20 million respectively). When the twins are talking to Derek, he says the Lydia would never run and hide BECAUSE OF SCOTT. Scott, in the second half of the show, is very protective of Lydia. And she comes to deeply respect him. When she and Meredith are discussing how not all monsters do monstrous things, Scott is the example she gives. He is what inspires her to want to help people, which is a motivation she does not start the series with but wholeheartedly embraces since mid s3. In s5 scott is finally able to heal not when he makes up with stiles but when they get lydia back which symbolizes the pack being fully back together, but more that Lydia is the only one theo never even tried to turn against scott, he had to literally incapacitate her because she wasn't keeping secrets from him like everyone else and I cant think of a situation where she would at that point because mutual trust and respect is at the foundation of their relationship as it wasn't built out of natural affection but an affection forged in the matching scars of the same fire. Out of Theo's dream pack, Lydia is the one that he would have the hardest job corrupting. Without stiles in s6, his growing relationship with malia and mentorship role with Liam, Lydia becomes Scott's most genuine source of friendship and stability. The are once again in the same place of putting their life on pause to stay to protect beacon hills. Lydia is the only pack member other than scott to not constantly suggest murder, they are the most intune morally and strategically. He is constantly risking his life to save her and vice versa. They are the two main characters to be in every season. They are the two people who intrigue the supernatural world the most. They understand eachother, they are family, they are pack.
