I think his decision to run showed character growth, as strange as that may sound. Derek has always flown into a fight without hesitating to think about things strategically, so his thinking differently this time with Kahli made me believe he's starting to mature as an Alpha and as a person.

As a side note, I'm curious if the golden eyes shown in the previews of the next ep belong to Derek. Maybe giving up his Alpha status to save an innocent (Cora) will cancel out taking Paige's life?
