- I also like this new "Hero" Derek. He busted in twice in the last 2 episodes to protect the only people that are close to him which shows tremendous growth from prios seasons. Also, he is stepping up his knowledge game and seems to not be in the dark as much when it comes to non-werewolf creatures. Finally, I liked/found it funny how he was in the shadows in last nights episode keeping an eye on Scott and them (sounded so much like Peter there in the sense he was observing from a distance). This is why i don't think he will die this season, he's getting way too much growth

OMG yes! Derek is freaking amazing this season. He's getting very little screen time but when he does, it just makes everything so much better. The problem is that because his character is becoming fully mature, they don't know what to do with him anymore. I think this last episode - silverfingers really alluded to his death where he tells the twins that he'd die for Scott. And because Derek is now a hero, Jeff might "redeem" him by killing him off. I feel like it's been hinted at in interviews. Plus on top of that Tyler Hoechlin still isn't signed onto season 4. I don't want Derek to die. After Stiles, he is my favorite character. I think there's so much potential with the Hale family story. And Derek seriously needs a family. I could still see the show going on without allison or lydia, but Derek has a special place in my heart. <3
