1) Jeff forgot about this. He already forgot about Peter possessing Lydia. The "You"/"Me" scene last season was only inserted because Holland pointed out that Lydia probably would not have been able to just blow off what Peter did to her, and Jeff had forgotten about it completely.

2) My personal suspicion: Deaton is manipulative and conceals things. It is implausible that a druid living in a given area would not take the time to learn the location of the nearest place of power that could be used for druidic magic. So I think that the ritual with Scott, Stiles and Allison was deliberately intended to feed power to the Nemeton, rather than doing so as a side effect. I think that Deaton used the kids for his own purposes and they are suffering weird aftereffects because he wanted to open them up to supernatural forces all along. 1) Jeff explained that we would know wha the bite meant for Lydia and the relationship between her and Peter and he did not forget he was probably busy with 3A and 3B at the time.

2) Yes, the Surrogate Sacarfices did give power back to the Nemeton but Deaton was only offering the kids the last option they had he wasn't purposely trying to expose them to the new power the Nemeton recieved. He explained ALL the things that could go wrong he wasn't keeping anything a secret.

1) So, are you telling me that if somebody mind-raped you, you would not have any particular reaction to until a year or more later?  Being "busy" writing 3a/b does not increase the plausibility that Lydia would just feel nothing about what Peter did to her, especially seeing him happily prancing around again.

2) Deaton did not need to actually lie, but he never reveals all of the information. Like I said, it is implausible that he would not already know where the Nemeton was located. That is like Druid 101 type stuff. The ritual did do what the kids were hoping it would do, namely show them where the Nemeton was. But that does not mean that Deaton did not already know and could not have just told them. He and Morell are very evasive, and often avoid giving direct answers to questions. Even more glaring, they are rarely proactive about doing anything. If druids can gain power from something like the Nemeton, then it might be in Deaton's personal best interest to have it recharged. He managed to do that, without having to actually make any permanent sacrifices.
