That said, I believe her when she said she didn't know Kelly was going to be killed. There was no reason for her to lie to Nick.
You know, Iruk, I dig your posts on the board, but I just had to take issue with this one. How in the world can anyone believe that? what the heck did she think was going to happen when Kelly, a serious Grimm, who is Diana's defender was lured by Juliette into the house where Kenneth and a ton of Hunjagers waited? Come on, she knew there was going to one heck of a fight and it would be deadly. What was the likelihood that it would end with them just capturing Kelly and not killing her? EXTREMELY small.
Thank you, Manticore. BTW, I really like your username.
In answer to your question, I want to back up for just a bit here because there's a lot about the whole Kelly/Diana episode that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
For one thing, I can't imagine why Kenneth would scope out the houses in the neighborhood if all he was expecting was Kelly and Diana. Then there's the issue of Kelly's death. If Kenneth really wanted Kelly dead, there's no reason for him to bloody himself up. He could simply post a sniper in a designated area and pick her off. Finally, there's the "let's take it outside". That doesn't sound to me like a planned tactical maneuver to kill Kelly.
I think they were preparing for a war with either HW personnel or Nick and company. When only Kelly showed up with Diana, they didn't know how to handle it. In other words there wasn't a plan in place to kill her. They may have planned on using her as a hostage to drag Nick in. Kelly resisted, they took her outside and killed her.
So when Juliette said she didn't know Kelly was going to be killed, I absolutely believe she was telling the truth.
I appreciate your taking the time to explain it and it seems reasonable.
For my part, from the moment Ken asked Juliette to dupe Kelly into coming to 'rescue' Nick, bringing Diana, that it was going to end any other way than with Kelly's death. No chance Kelly gives up Diana willingly. They would have to take her and Kelly's not going to survive the encounter. I mean, did you think they would knock her out, take Diana, and then leave Kelly alive?
My problem is that Juliette could have used her MOST awesome Hexy powers and stopped them from killing Kelly, but she waited until it was over and Kelly was dead.
