Regardless of lingering feelings between them, it is not Scott's right to decide who Allison can or cannot have a relationship with! The Bro Code is actually insanely chauvinistic in that regard, because it assumes that the girl is a mindless possession. Isaac did not set out to pursue a relationship with Allison, but Scott kept throwing them together under dangerous circumstances and low and behold there was a spark!

However, in order to invoke the Bro Code, you do not send the bro in question to play bodyguard with the girl and expect that nothing will happen. You either expect said bro to stay away from your ex, or else you specifically tell him to avoid her. Scott did the exact opposite. This is yet another case of Scott not accepting the consequences of his choices.

Kind of like when Scott refused to allow Jackson to be killed, and Jackson subsequently slaughtered a fair chunk of the Beacon Hills Police Department, which technically makes Scott an accessory to murder. This is less about Bro Code violations than the fact that Scott never thinks about anything beyond the immediate, and he thinks about other people a lot less than he pretends to.

Eh, I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with you on Bro Code being chauvinistic (well at least this one aspect of it). The thing is that you keep talking about Allison and her feelings, but I think you’re looking at it wrong. If I were saying that ALLISON were doing something wrong, then I’d agree with you. Since she and Scott are broken up, she doesn’t owe Scott anything (since like you said she’s a person with feelings). Isaac, on the other hand, is a different story. Bro code has to do with Isaac and Scott’s friendship; Allison’s feelings are completely irrelevant. Allison has a right to date whoever she wants, but if Isaac were a good friend he wouldn’t do that Scott. Isaac was being a bad friend. Scott didn’t need to explicitly ask Isaac not to hook up with Allison. It’s an unspoken rule (hence the term Bro Code). I don’t know if you’re male or female, but if you do happen to be a guy, I hope your male friend share your viewpoint on the subject, so no issues ever arise out of confusion. I don’t think that by asking Isaac to protect Allison that it should be a foregone conclusion that an attraction would develop. After all, even Isaac was in denial about it at first (Janitor’s closet?). If Isaac wasn’t consciously aware of it at first, why should Scott have seen it coming? As for the whole anchor thing I think we’re both right. Allison did feel kind of exposed, but the only reason the attraction being out in the open could even be a problem in the first place is if it made Scott uncomfortable and even though they were broken up there was still SOMETHING there (Allison’s closet bed room?). And what exactly was Scott supposed to say at that point??? Our three parents are dying; out of the available options Styles only has a connection with Lydia, and I could go with either Deaton or Allison; but since I don’t want you to hook up with my ex (even though nothing has ever actually happened between you) I don’t care what happens she can’t be paired with you??? I think you’re giving Scott WAAAY too much responsibility in this situation. Maybe some of the decisions he made set things into motion, but yeah I don’t think he’s to blame. Using that logic if something would have happened with Jackson and Allison in Season 1 when he had Jackson take her to prom, then that would have been his fault too (even though we directly know that he was in love with Allison at the time and would have went into a rage if something like that would have happened). He did NOT give them some kind of tacit approval. I know you think it doesn't matter, but if one of my friends did that to me it would not be cool.
