Jackson's turning on people after they help him out is his way of pushing them away if they get too close. How can Jackson believe Scott is a real friend if his own parents rejected him by giving him up for adoption (he doesn't feel worthy of friendship or love and feels like in the end whoever draws too close will eventually reject him).

The only one thus far he's trusted has been Lydia and as soon as she made out with Scott he dumped her...before she could dump him. It's his way of rejecting people before they reject him. His character is too complex to just look at the surface of it and say oh he's being an ass...I hate him now. You have to look deeper...which has been a theme with him ever since they took the wolfsbane out of his neck when he was hallucinating and Derek said we have to go deeper.
