He told Derek that that his one of his problems that he didn't trust anyone and that the one person he should trust, meaning Scott, didn't trust him at all.

Playing the devil's advocate, perhaps Deaton is waiting for Derek to come to him to show that he will take advice. In season 2, when Deaton asked if they were trying to save Jackson or kill him, Derek said kill him and Scott said save him. It is difficult to advise someone who has stated that he trusts "no one".

I am hoping that Deaton will be start working with Derek. I would hate to think that the emissaries were strictly "polictical". Derek needs to start to trust, but I can understand why he would difficult time.

At least the show has us wondering...lol. That's the thing...he didn't tell Derek that Derek should trust him...Deaton...he told Derek that he should trust Scott which indicates that he(Deaton) had already chosen Scott to lead regardless of whether Derek was Alpha or not. He was in a way encouraging Derek to look to Scott for guidance not himself. And Deaton was the one leading and influencing Scott...the man behind the throne if you will. He was setting Derek up to be Scott's second but not the alpha.

And what gets me is the ending of season 2 when Scott declares he had a plan too...in a flashback we see Scott and Deaton preparing the wolfsbane for Gerard. I don't think Scott came up with that idea anymore than Scott knew about the ritual they started in Monday nights episode. Deaton is Scott's success thus far...he could have been Derek's if he had helped him. In truth he holds too much power...he probably wouldn't have been able to control and influence Derek as much as he does Scott and he certainly would not have been able to influence Peter at all as he takes orders from no one. Which leads me to this....what if there is a ring of truth in what Gerard said.

He indicated that Deaton could not be trusted. Now I know that Gerard is a manipulator like Peter but in order to be a manipulator you have to know people...know how they are going to react...know what their intentions are...plus Gerard does know Deaton from the past (at least I recall that they had some kind of knowledge of each other). Whether Deaton is good or bad imo doesn't matter...I personally think he holds too much power and that in and of itself is dangerous. I don't think they are going to show Deaton as the bad guy at this point but if Scott ever starts doing his own thing I think we may see some conflict there ...anyway I'm through ranting and raving for now...lol let my madness cease.
