I don’t see KB as any different from the Royals, the Resistance, BC, or any other faction who wanted Diana for her powers or to keep them from someone else. As for the locket, it was either a shiny trinket and could have held Daffy Duck’s picture or a type of talisman KB used to control Diana. Or it was simply to move the plot along and G & K didn’t actually give it any thought one way or the other.
Bitsie Tulloch has said that Eve does not need a man but if happens that would be fine by her. I interpret that to mean if there are no obstacles she would be willing to date Nick again but if Nick is overloaded with issues from Kelly, Diana and Adalind, Eve would walk away from it. My view is Diana will be playing the key role since she wants to be Renard but still likes Nick's mom. When she was little, she liked the necklace with Nick's childhood picture in it.
The show has been too ambiguous with Diana to logically guess what is planned, if anything. While in utero & as an infant she was able to propel objects & project her image when needed for protection. Yet, she did nothing during the violent altercation between KB & the Verrat, nor did she appear traumatized by the violent event. If there was a bond between KB & Diana, why was she suddenly helpless & ambivalent toward Kelly? Perhaps she will always instinctively put her survival first?
And although seemingly helpless during the attack, Diana didn’t show any fear when taken by Kenneth & Juliette - two strangers. Nor was she frightened while with the King, and in fact, made a point of belittling his attempt to show her how to construct the building blocks. Diana wasn’t frightened in the helicopter, and actually appeared to enjoy Meisner’s violent method of disposing of the king.
Diana was never shown making any attempt to connect with her parents while being shuffled from person to person, place to place during the S4 ending or with HW in S5. However, the minute she’s with Renard, Diana is obsessed with adding mommy to mix and the three becoming a happy family. Diana hadn't had any interaction with her parents since she was a week old, and yet, she behaved as though that’s all she’d thought about since first being taken. So why no attempt to manipulate those around her to reach that objective?
If in S5 she didn’t display any interest in Black Claw or Bonaparte’s power grab and only wanted to prevent any disruption in the formation of her happy family, I have to wonder what the game plan is for Diana. Are G & K planning another ridiculous ‘got cha’ moment, this time with Diana instead Juliette? Was Diana presented as being a child obsessed with her parents who happened to have threatening powers in S5 so that Diana, the big bad, could be dropped on a supposedly unwitting audience in S6?
I think the ambiguity stems from Diana being a plot device rather than a character. She has desires, interacts, and becomes threatening when needed to move the story along. But when not needed, she is indifferent, detached, and unaware of what the grownups around her are doing. Nothing about Diana fits one way or the other. She could be a child traumatized by the events in her short lifetime and in severe need of positive/loving parenting or just as easily be a super-powered nemesis incapable of feeling any emotion beyond her personal desires.
