I think Kelly was a good mother. When her husband and Kelly's friend were killed by the four Schakals looking for the coins of Zakynthos Kelly was guarding (Kimura was one of the sent assassins) they were burned beyond recognition and the Schakals took the woman's head, thinking it was Kelly. Nick was 12 yrs. old and Kelly placed him in Marie's care to safeguard him. (Kelly went underground to hide her existence from her enemies, first starting to trail the Schakals who killed her husband and dear friend. Then she found out the seriousness of the plan the seven Royal families had to globally replace democratic governments with autocratic rule, and then started working with the Laufer or Resistance, to defeat them.) She told Nick it was done only to keep him from being killed. The same thing happened to Adalind, her baby had to sent to a safe place to raise. It may be a choice facing Nick, too.
Something almost spiritual happened between Kelly and Diana on the plane from Zurich, and imo, they took to each other instantaneously. Of course, there were the incidents with the locket. Another example of Diana's attachment to Kelly was that time when Diana made Monroe and Rosalee's clocks' hands spin around and around with her inconsolable crying until Kelly walked thru the door and she immediately calmed down. Kelly was the one who noticed how gifted the baby was and had the sort of 'revelation' that this special one would possess the power of either great good or great evil - depending on how she was raised. And the rest of the group, including her father, Renard, seemed to know she was right. She only had the child for a short time, but I hope her influence was sufficient to point Diana in the right direction. Maybe she had her the equivalent of 3-4 years considering how fast she's aging.
Speaking of Kelly, I've always thought that Juliette set fire to the trailer as a ruse to make certain Nick was occupied while she secretly went to the house to email Kelly. Think Nick noticed the mouse had been moved when he came home, but didn't make anything of it.
This a little out there, but I remembered when rewatching the season one episode that Kelly had two very noticable scars on her cheek and forehead. Didn't see them on the head in the box; if I didn't know Mary M. wouldn't come back to the show, I'd wonder about that. Maybe they were there and just didn't show up on the screen.
