It’s likely that Adalind only survived because Juliette becoming a Hexenbiest foiled the original plan and forced her to flee to Nick for protection. Had the writers not planned to replace the Royals with HW/BC, S4 might have ended with Frederick leaving Portland with Diana and the S5 showdown would have been Nick & company vs. the Royals and Diana, and maybe a still angry Juliette.(01-21-2018, 04:49 PM)Robyn Wrote: Adalind wasn’t only aware of the original plan, she was an active participant. The plan had always been to lure Kelly to Portland. Why would she suddenly assume Kenneth no longer needed Kelly in Portland? If anything, Adalind was counting on him accomplishing that so she’d have an opportunity, with Nick’s help, to get Diana.This is what I was looking for. It sounds like Kenneth was never planning on handing Diana over to Adalind. However, Adalind intended to help Kenneth obtain Diana.
I am in agreement with you that the intent was to lure Kelly into Portland with Diana, whether Kenneth did the luring with Adalind at his side or with Juliette at his side.
Henry, I never suggested Juliette wouldn’t kill Adalind. I never brought it up one way or the other. But since you did - Juiliette would have thoroughly enjoyed beating Adalind to death. However, once dead Adalind’s suffering is permanently over while giving Adalind’s child, who Juliette learned in S3 Adalind loved very much, to the Royals would have caused endless emotional torment.
The only thing I suggested was that killing Kelly wasn’t Juliette’s objective. Preventing Adalind from getting her baby back, and working against Nick with his enemy, was Juliette’s objective which helped cause Kelly’s death. Again, I'm not suggesting that Kelly's death is less heinous because it wasn't Juliette's prime objective, but that Juliette didn't plot with Kenneth to kill Kelly, only to get the baby from her. I see no to reason to suspect that Juliette cared anymore about the wellbeing of Kelly, Nick, and the others than Adalind did.
