I just read a couple of articles that Paul has links to where Jeff Davis and one had Tyler Hoechlin interviewed with Jefff Davis. Anyway, Jeff Davis stated that they wanted to show that Derek could endure anything. That you could throw anything and everything at him and he would endure. Tyler Hoechlin stated that Derek was in love with Jennifer and was basically blind like anyone would be.

Jeff stated that one of the reasons for the flashbacks was to show that Derek could endure whatever anyone dished out to him. Jeff also stated that Scott needed to learn to how to be a True Alpha and Derek needed to learn how to be a hero.

To me this doesn't imply Derek was under the influence of the Dararch. She wouldn't have had to plead for his help if he was. He was a young man blinded by love. Just my opinion.
