Derek has had a hard time in S2 trying to establish what kind of Alpha he's gonna be and how he should work with his new pack. Scott is the one he relies on most (although they're all improving), and now he knows that Scott hasn't been able to trust him. The vet basically warned him that his trust issues were getting in the way of his becoming the Alpha he wants and needs to be.

I think Jeff brought Peter back to test Derek's resolve and push him towards becoming a stronger Alpha. Peter is going to try to ease his way back into the pcture under the guise of helping the pack (according to Tyler H. in a recent interview) and Derek is going to have to have his sh*t together to deal with him.
