The end of the Royal arc seemed just as panicked as the BC arc why was this?
Let's try something new.
The short answer is probably that BC replaced the royals. I do not know, so I will speculate. In season 4, they chose to let Nick go without his Grimm powers/abilities for too long. This was probably negative for the series and the ratings fell (that’s sad, by the way, because the second half of season 4 was amazing), so in season 5 it was decided to make some radical changes. In comes BC. That didn’t work, so in season 6 they got rid of BC just as quickly in a hope of getting more than 13 episodes.
In my opinion they could have kept the royals. Maybe even followed a not to different storyline. Perhaps the royals could have led BC, where they offered the wesen to live in freedom if they helped the royals take control of the world – ok, it doesn’t make sense to have one royal family control the world, but anyway… Perhaps even recruiting Renard (king?) and have Bonaparte play an important role. Adalind giving up the offer to be queen to be with Nick, etc.
There is probably some inconsistency I haven’t thought while writing this, but you get the picture. I think keeping the royals on board would have created more consistency and tied things better together – with the keys/ the stick and Diana, etc.
