Derek is the obvious one...I know none of us see him as a villain but Jeff did say that Derek would stop making borderline sociopathic decisions and become the hero and we've already seen him turn that corner in 3A. I think the sociopath comment was an  indication that Derek had the potential to fall down the same path Peter went down if there wasn't a change. He actually reminded me a little of Peter in season 2 when he was on the power trip especially the scene in the ice rink when he agrees with Scott that it is all about power and proceeds to beat him down. That seems to all be behind him now though.

Despite the scene in the teaser I don't think the real Kate will return and truthfully no matter how much we like Jennifer (and I thought she was a great villain) I think it would be a mistake to bring her back. You just can't return every villain back to the show at least in my opinion. And of course Matt is gone as well. I think the three of them are off the table.

That leaves Peter, Gerard, and Deucalion.

Peter and Gerard are there for the obvious reasons...they are the essentially the heads of the warring families...Hales and Argents. I think Deucalion may also have been saved because he also figures into the Hale past...my suspicions point to Talia...that perhaps he was responsible for her death if she is indeed dead. But with that aside can any of these three be redeemed.

With Gerard I would say no...honestly I can't see any point thus far in his character development that would even indicate that he wants redemption. He seems perfectly content to hate.

And while we have seen Deucalion's more peaceful and content side can he really come back from all the harm he's done. Does he even want to? We haven't seen enough of him on this side of his eyesight (with eyes restored) to really know. I do not expect an immediate change even if he is put on the redemptive path..but then tha's just me...Jeff may see it otherwise.

And last of all Peter...we have seen tenderness on both sides of the equation with him...first with a concern for Paige in the past and then with concern over Cora in the present. The one with Cora stands out since no one was there to see him...it is the one moment we see him care where we can actually believe it's for real.

One of the things he said to Stiles and Cora was that when you take an innocent life it darkens your soul...and we know Peter has taken innocent life (how many we don't know) but the feeling I get it that Peter does not believe he can be redeemed. Yeah I know that's just my perception. But there are little things that speak to me. When telling about Paige and Derek he made it sound like it was all Derek's idea. He didn't want to tell the truth about his part in influencing Derek to do it like someone would do if they felt guilt. Guilt indicates remorse(at least to my thinking). I think that in the end we may find out Peter is somewhat tormented. Damon of TVD has a similar character...he does horrible things that everyone thinks he has no remorse for and yet in private moments we can see his pain. I don't think Peter is developed to that point yet but there are small indicators that it might be headed in that direction.

At some point in his history he like Derek took an innocent life. I don't think he handled it the same way. They have played a little bit on the nature versus nurture theme. With Deaton telling the frog/scorpian tale where the scorpian attacks the frog and says it's in my nature and at the end where Derek makes the right decision by listening to the voice of his mother that he was a predator...he didn't have to be a killer...which would represent nurture. I think where Derek chose to follow the nuture path...Peter chose to follow the nature path. When Peter took innocent life, his guilt pushed him to see himself as the werewolf (a monster if you will) and he gave into his nature. Derek chose to keep his humanity...Peter chose to give into the wolf. That doesn't mean that all of Peter's humanity is dead...like with Cora in the hospital...it just means that if Jeff does decide to redeem him it's going to be a much harder road. It's going to take a lot of influence from other people to make him get back on the right path.

Possibly if Lydia does have a connection with him where she can influence him this might play into it (if again Jeff chooses redemption for him) but it might not play out like that at all. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. lol it's amazing how just one of your sentences Darkfairytale can inspire me to rattle on so(I'm thinking too much) but anyway all just speculation...hopefully we'll see where Jeff is going with all of this soon.
