The thing is, I can forgive Peter for a lot of things. I can forgive him for turning Scott, for trying to get Scott to kill his friends, for killing all the people who killed his family, for attacking Lydia and making her crazy. He was in a bad place emotionally and he has a lot of rage and I really do want to like him and want to forgive him.

But for me, the thing that takes Peter, (who should just be an anti-hero who has made some bad decisions and hurt some people), and turns him into a villain, the thing that I don't think I can ever forgive him for, is Laura's murder.

If he were truly redeemable, if despite it all he were still a good person and the kind of person I could support, I don't think he would ever have been able to kill his niece and the only family he and Derek have left just for the sake of revenge. Derek loved Laura deeply, and once, Peter did too, and if he still had the capacity to love and be a normal human being, he would never have killed her. Not for anything.
