I see this as the justification they will use to inact their "Minority Report" approach. The elimination of BC members for what they will do. As in "Minority Report" are you the savior or a murderer. The writers will give them the hero jersey showing all the lives they saved.
In prior season we say Nick solving crimes that had occurred. We will now see the investigation and elimination of threats. Like in James Bond movies, that kind of perspective opens up for more graphic action packed scenes. The very first official acts HW does is, Eve takes out 20 wesen. That could not happen in a police procedural format. I see this why the writers say the show is changing. Less law and order more James Bond.
Eve did save the guys from being outnumbered and possibly killed in that operation which was a trap set by BC. Besides, once a threat has been identified, the best approach may often be preemptive. I'm not advocating rounding up suspects and eliminating them in the false claim of it being for the greater good. Just simply out-strategizing the opposition where possible.
And you're right, I think, in guessing that things will down and dirty from here on out because this is a big deal, not the usual week to week showdowns we are used to seeing. It may come down to who's the smartest, and we know that Nick and the Scoobies are battle-tested veterans of this kind of clashes with lawbreaking wesen; I feel they will outsmart the other side by exposing the nasty underbelly of their cause.
