No, but outside of a very few people, who has helped someone the show out of the goodness of their heart?

Derek helped Scott because he wanted to be the alpha and he wanted to find him and Scott was his best bet of both defeating the alpha and finding him. He admitted to needing Scott and that they needed each other. As Scott pointed out, Derek hasn't been giving the bite out for Erica, Boyd or Isaac so much as making himself stronger and helping himself.

Look at Argent. He's not trying to kill Scott but in return he expects him to stay away from his daughter.

Coach Finnstock was willing to give Scott/Jackson an A in Econ but as he said "No A in Econ if no win on field"'

Even Danny, whom I adore needed something to give Scott what he wanted. The idea of it being life and death wasn't enough. He rolled over for his fake ID, or that was the impression we were given.

There's a reason certain characters are "heroes" They're able to do things without expecting things in return, the rest of the characters are more like us, and I guess that's why I like them. They're motives are not always clear and not always on the up and up.
