I don't know if the show ever did present the deception of Derek in that situation as Scott doing the right thing, though. It was pretty clearly shown as having been a shitty decision by both Derek's and, interestingly, Stiles' reactions. I felt, as a viewer, that we were supposed to feel for Derek. As if it set Derek's and Scott's dynamic arcs back several paces. Plus, the consequence there may have been simply that Scott did this, and it still didn't kill Gerard.

Derek earlier that season had been a true antagonist to Scott. He hadn't shown himself to be trustworthy. I don't think that excuses Scott's actions, but he had a reason, early on, not to confide in him. Only a few months or so earlier in the timeline, Derek had turned his back on Scott and worked with Peter, and then was going around seducing and biting random teenagers.

I view this as one of Scott's worst mistakes, but I do think it was framed as a misstep rather than completely a moment to be celebrated, because they worked in the beginning of trust and alliance between Scott and Derek again before breaking it down. They showed us Derek's stricken reaction. They showed us Stiles having had no clue this was happening and he wasn't happy about it.

But yeah, the show treated its viewers like morons who wouldn't even remember a quarter of things that had happened the entire way through, I agree with you there.
