If Adalind's character wasn't seen as an impediment to raising Diana, they could have continued with the same plan of getting both mother and daughter to safety. The new plan was about fooling Viktor into thinking the Resistance had Diana and that meant taking her from Adalind. Once the plan was successful, they could have easily brought Adalind into the fold and reunited her with Diana (Viktor would have no means of de-grimming Nick and the royals wouldn't have a pissed off hexenbiest Juliette to betray Kelly to return to Portland with Diana) but they all chose to lie and sell the lie after Adalind begged them all to help her find Diana. They were the ones that pointed her in the direction of Viktor.(10-29-2017, 11:16 AM)rpmaluki Wrote:(10-29-2017, 11:08 AM)silver Wrote:Nick didn't think Adalind would make a good mother. I'm not sure what Kelly believed just before she landed in Portland before they had to change course but it's apparent learning about Adalind's past with Nick influenced her decision, which influenced Sean's decision to agree to the kidnapping because suddenly they all believed Adalind would make a terrible mother to an all powerful child.(10-29-2017, 10:59 AM)rpmaluki Wrote:(10-29-2017, 10:29 AM)silver Wrote: You never cease to amaze, Henry. Adalind had hex powers that she HAD TO KNOW very well may affect Nick and/or Juliette. Eve went in, with only the intent to get information - not separate Nick's Grimm power (THE key part of himself and his persona). Nothing Eve did caused anybody's death or immense changes to the persons involved, nor did she try to.Adalind did know what having sex with Nick would do, that was the point because she was lead to believe that by carrying out the task, she would finally get to see her daughter. When Eve realised how intimate the relationship with Rachel was, she adjusted primary plans, what she was willing to do herself that night to accomplish her mission. None of the two women personally wanted to have sex with their targets (neither woke up that morning with a desire to have sex with their enemy just for kicks) but it was necessary if they would be successful in their personal mission. For Adalind, that was to finally see Diana for the first time since the day she was kidnapped an instruction she got from Viktor, so that in itself wasn't her intention either, for Eve, it was to discover what BC's plans were for/with Renard. How the two women carried out their mission shouldn't add or take away from what they intention was at the end of the day/night. Not once was Adalind acting out of selfish interest that day. She was acting out of a mother's desperation. When she left Nick's place she wasn't thrilled over what she'd done. She flew straight to Vienna to the man she believed had her daughter and instead of getting what she'd hopped for following his instructions, he threw her into a dungeon that warped her senses and abilities to punish her.
As I said earlier Nick and sadly Juliette reaped the consequences of stealing Diana away from her mother. Everything that happened stems from that one decision to separate mother and daughter without thinking of the consequences. Viktor took advantage of the truth and manipulated Adalind to punish Nick for succeeding where he had failed.
Does anybody remember what Sean said about what would happen if Adalind was given Diana? Just curious.
That's not the part I'm thinking of - Didn't Sean tell Adalind in his office that the Royals through Viktor, threatened death to Sean, his mother and Adalind if she decided to hold onto Diana and try to raise her? I'm pretty darned sure that had 100% bearing on the decision, plus remember what Kelly said to Nick that Diana's life would have either great potential for good or great potential for evil depending on where and by whom she would be raised.
