Derek has always been seen as the 'bad guy' by the other characters in the show (not the audience of course) and often is the scapegoat for whatever happens. Perhaps this season marks a change in that direction, what with episode 2 Derek stating that he was prepared to risk his life for Boyd and Erica, and this episode willing to go alone to save the teacher.

We, the audience, have always been shown how Derek has puts himself at risk to save others but the characters have mostly just seen his seemingly arrogant persona.
