Gumball wasn't really "the villain". He was just being himself. Gumball has always been kind of an asshole (one of the reasons why the general audience like him). He is kind of selfish, naïve and mischievous. And Gumball didn't force Darwin to scam the school with him, Darwin could have just said "no", but he chose to come along because he wanted to be with Carrie.

But despite Gumball's greed in this episode, he still chose to sacrifice all his candy for the sake of Darwin and Carrie's safety.
