I was just thinking during the episode that he sure seems to like Isaac a lot more than Scott. And that's a lot of character growth for them. Maybe it has to do with Isaac's past abuse, Chris being more lenient with him?

Also, still waiting for the OP to give me specific scenes and/or episodes outside of 3b where Stiles has "needed constant reassurance in his relationship with Scott" been a few days now... Chris really does seem to like Isaac, even though he is not happy about Allison seemingly having a werewolf fetish. But that is a given, since obviously the Code would have precluded Hunters from dating/marrying werewolves. Kate's penchant for seducing (underage) ones was clearly a sign of how morally bankrupt she was. Chris appears to not just be okay with Isaac as a benign werewolf, as is the case with Scott, but actually chooses to include him in Hunter stuff. Maybe he does feel sympathy for Isaac? Or maybe he simply always wanted a son?

Yeah, I'm not seeing the same co-dependence on the part of Stiles as the OP references. Or at least, Stiles has generally seemed to be able to go off and do things on his own. In fact he frequently played detective while Scott was otherwise occupied (i.e. mooning over Allison). He obviously loves Scott a great deal, to the extent that he doesn't feel the need for a larger social circle. But he's also like his father, who has gone for years seemingly without dating or remarrying, and who appears to have no friends other than cops.

And, Stiles himself had a life outside Scott in s1. It might've been a gamer life, but he showed he had his own interests outside of their relationship. He was in that mythical creature mmorpg, and he knew what a bestiary was, and Scott didn't. Seems like, if anything, Stiles lost his outside life to be there for Scott, and now Scott's leaving him behind.
