Peter is really a tragic figure IMO. He has sat by and done the dirty work of the Hale family for far too long and was passed up time and time again to be the leader of their family. I think that he suffers more than he lets on. Yeah...I do think tragic is a word that may describe him...he was definitely a tragic figure in the Hale fire.

One of the other things he said it visionary was that some people are just not cut out for this life...directly he was talking about Paige and the fact that the bite did not take and she was suffering...indirectly I think it could apply to him that emotionally he could not handle the things he had to deal with as werewolf and that in a way he was not cut out for it...perhaps again the only way he could handle the things he did was to give into the nature of the wolf and let go of the more human side that dealt with things like guilt and remorse...but the more he gives into it...the more he loses himself...much like Jackson who was losing himself under the reptilian skin (as Peter said)...who knows saving Jackson on some  level may have been Peter's subconscious attempt at saving himself...if there was any other reason we'll probably never know since Colton is gone.

And back to the redemption thing...I noted that Lydia might help if they went that route...but I guess I should have also noted Derek as well...he was teetering on the edge of the same path Peter took (back to Jeff's sociopath comment) and yet he has come back off the ledge and is now going back down the right path again...Derek has at the very least been close to where Peter walks...if anyone could help Peter pull out of the dark place he's gone I would think it would be Derek. Just speculation and once again way too much of it on my part lol.
