I completely understand. That’s how I felt last year watching what was happening to Juliette. I did a lot of screaming at my screen then, too.
@pixiedustandbluebutterflies and I have talked about this a bit, and the way we see it, there are only a few possible explanations here:
Sean has really gone all the way over to the dark side. This was always in him and we just never saw it because it was so hidden (this would be bad writing and a complete character assassination, imo).
Sean has really gone all the way over to the dark side. This was always in him and we never saw it because we didn’t want to, but it was clearly there (this would be terrible but also really good writing; I could grudgingly get on board with this).
Sean is playing some kind of long game of his own, and doesn’t really believe in anything Black Claw stands for (this seems less and less likely with each episode).
Sean is doing this all for his daughter, and doesn’t really believe in anything Black Claw stands for (this also seems less likely after that last episode).
Sean went into this initially to save Diana, but Diana has been controlling Sean since the moment Black Claw brought her to him (this is the one I’m hoping for tbh, it would explain so much).
Please accept this virtual hug and huge spoilers under the cut:
Sean isn’t dead or anything but it’s seriously looking like it might go that way. He’s sided completely with Black Claw and seems to actually buy into their idea of a world run by Wesen, and he tried to recruit Nick to their cause and convince him that together they could create a better world (it was all very Luke and Darth Vader at the end of Empire, really).
So now Nick wants Sean dead, pretty much every member of Team Grimm is on board, and the only thing keeping Sean alive right now is the fact that he and Black Claw have Kelly.
Right? Also Adalind, totally not there for his entire political race.
SERIOUSLY. Portland, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Do you have no political activists? Teenagers with internet? NOTHING?
what his rival?! he can’t dig up dirt?!
For real…are we supposed to believe someone that shady would be above some mudslinging of his own? Or that he wouldn’t think of it?
I mean…unless Black Claw is so powerful that they can somehow silence any and all chatter and suspicions about Renard’s mysterious overnight family. Which is just…terrifying to contemplate.
I like how many people are willing to take Renard out in Nick’s behalf.
Same! Meisner is like “you can’t kill him, Nick,” and the rest of Team Grimm is like:
Okay, like way back in season one, I wrote a tiny snippet of drawer fic in which Team Grimm was battling to save the world from some evil that was trying to take it over. But I kinda never imagined they would go there like this and I also wrote Renard on their side.
My heart is broken. Renard, I am so disappointed in you.
Man, Renard, you seriously drank all the damn kool-aid, didn’tcha?
