I felt that, instead of a tacky disappearing ink letter, Adalind should have been upfront with Nick about what happened. She should have enlisted the help of the scoobies. She did it before. She could have done it again. If she decided to go, at least they all would have been in on it.Actually, Adalind woke Nick up to tell him Renard knew where Diana was and would use Diana to get her to do something she wouldn’t want to do. Nick told Adalind they already suspected Renard was working with BC and that she should let him know if Renard contacted her again, then rolled over and went back to sleep. I’m thinking at that point Adalind realized she was on her own.
The other thing about this episode that would have worked greatly in Adalind's favor was the way Bonaparte and Renard viewed her. They also looked at her as being of no threat to them. I was ticked about that at first, but it could have been used as a means to defeat them.
I also felt Adalind's distinct lack of interest regarding where Diana's been these past two years was a very strange thing as well.
In any case, Kelly should have never gone with her.
I don’t agree with Adalind choosing to take Kelly to BC, at all. And would have preferred that she dropped Kelly off with Rosalee and told her what she was about to do and why, then taken off for the BC house before Nick could intervene - if she still thought he might would.
Actually, I wish it had been written that Nick and Adalind were more proactive in countering threats from Renard & BC even if the story still ended up with Adalind and Kelly at the BC house. At least that way both would have made a concerted effort to prevent escalation instead of just rolling with the flow as it happened.
Just one small observation. Did Adalind really have a choice, not to take Baby Kelly? Bonaparte wanted both kids. He wanted Kelly from the 1st time he laid eyes on him, when he met Adalind, in her new office, at her old the law firm, that re-hired her. He wanted Kelly, so he could blackmail Nick for the Grimm Book, in case Nick wasn’t willing to join BC. Once Bonaparte realized, Nick was not going to play ball with BC and Co. Adalind had no other choice when she left her note to Nick.
