I disagree with the idea that the story was about Peter. I think that what we SAW was all true. Just what Styles and Cora heard was not true. This also applies to what we SAW from Gerard’s story. What we don’t know is the parts that we DID NOT see. Read the Q&A from Jeff Davis’s tumbler. He always tries to be mysterious, but if you look at what he said carefully it gives away a lot:

 Q1. Hello Jeff! I felt like I watched a different show last week, did Derek really ask Ennis to bite Paige? Or was it Peter? And if so, can I ask why he would do that (or is it part of the plot)? Here! Grab a cookie!

 A. That is a question we wanted you to ask. And we don’t actually want to answer. Sorrrrry

From his answer to the first question we take away what Jeff & the other writers wanted us to get from that story. What was shown was true. BUT what was not shown was the negotiation with Ennis. So he WANTS us to question that and be wondering about it because it will come again. The story really was about Derek Here’s why:

                 1. When Peter gave information about where Derek and Paige used to go to make out he said that he knew because Derek told him everything. But we SAW that it was because he was spying on them. This is in character with the non-alpha Peter; he always lurked in the shadows watching everything from behind the scenes.

                 2. Peter was just hanging around the high school while Derek was a student. Derek threatened to have Peter banned from school. That could not have occurred the other way around as Peter is older than Derek. It wouldn’t make sense that while Peter was in high school and Derek was obviously younger that he could have hung around the high school and not been in JR High or elementary school himself.

                 3. Peter said that it was Derek’s idea to turn Paige, but we SAW that it was Peter’s idea.

                 4. At the end after Derek’s eyes turned his mother consoled him. She wouldn’t have reacted that way with Peter. Also the whole story explains why Derek’s eyes were blue before becoming an alpha.

I think people are reading too far into things when they assume that the actual flash back was a lie. It wasn’t the lies were in what Peter said (only part of which did we actually hear). In other words the audience knows more than Styles & Cora. The only point of the little commentary that we get to hear from Peter talking over the story and Style’s comment that they need to hear the other side because he didn’t trust Derek was just to be able to cue us in on the fact that Peter lied to them about it. Not to discredit the actual flashback itself. Think about it: if the flashback doesn’t match Peter’s story to Cora and Styles AND it’s not what really happened either, the WHAT IS THE FLASHBACK? It would serve no purpose. If they wanted to show something that wasn’t true they could just have shown the story Peter actually told instead of allowing it to contradict his narration.

Q2. Here's a question for Jeff: during visionary, the audience could see the truth of what happened in the flashbacks versus the lies that peter and Gerard were telling the teenagers. Should we then assume that we know everything about the stories that there is to know, or should we be suspicious that there are more details to the memories that were left out and have yet to be revealed?

A. I wouldn't assume that you actually saw all of the truth.

In his answer to the 2nd question I think it’s important that Davis said I wouldn’t assume that you saw “ALL” of the truth. In other words what we saw was true, but quite a bit is missing. Like what happened with Ennis and possibly other significant details. It definitely wouldn't surprise me if Peter loved her too and that's why he stalked them and wanter her to get the bite. That could be the part that's missing, but I don’t think we have any good reason to believe the story shown was about Peter.
