I agree. I guess the whole point of kidnapping Stiles for an hour or two was Gerard needed a punching bag for a little pre- showdown practice and a small, skinny, teen boy seemed like a good alternative? Actually, it wasn't made very clear but supposedly the kidnapping/ beating was done simply to mentally mess with Scott. However, my opinion is: it was just a time filler by the writers of the show.

I think the point of capturing Boyd and Erica was about Alison, it turned out it wasn't actually about them at all... which is why Chris switched sides when he realized grand-daddy was a nut job sadist, trying to intentionally mentally tweak Alison and groom her into the nice, psychopathic, peer murdering grandbaby he'd always wanted.
