Yes, Kelly wants Diana on the side of the resistance because of what she can do but, that is not the same as wanting her SOLELY for her powers. She does care about the baby and the baby has taken to Kelly. And how can you be sure that Adalind DOESN"T want the baby soley for her powers?  If there is one thing she can do is manipulate people.

Yes, Adalind should get ragged on for wanting revenge for losing her powers. If she didn't try to kill Hank, and the only solution wasn't to take her powers, she wouldn't be needing revenge. Though Renard never gets ragged on for trying to destroy Nick's life to make him a pawn of his at the beginning. Also, Kelly isn't in the Resistance, just like Renard, it's an alliance of convenience, otherwise, she would never have objected to idea Nick had of sending Adalind and Diana to the Resistance (because she needs a "normal" upbringing, as if she'll get that with Kelly always being on the road). Obviously Kelly cares about the baby's well being (she wouldn't be apathetic to it dying), but she would never take it with her if it wasn't destined to power. Really if it were that Diana didn't have powers Kelly would have probably helped only because, "Hey, this kid had Royal Blood, the Resistance wanted a favor, and my son is involved", but she would never have bothered taking the child (or any parents) along with her if the child didn't have powers, she'd have just helped and hoped for the best after she left. Besides, really, Adalind began to have maternal feelings for Diana at the cabin before she started manipulating objects. Oh, and Kelly soooo sees Diana as a second chance at being a mother (even though this chance only comes at destroying a family before it ever got take off). The worst thing Adalind did this season was to flee to Renard, (even though it was understandable) as that allowed Team Grimm and the Royals to find her and Diana. Still, Kelly has no alibi for killing Diana's grandmother, as that only happened because Kelly went in a guns blazing Wessen hunter. Diana started manipulating objects from the womb. Remember the pen?

Renard should get ragged on more for giving Adalind the orders and rejecting her after she lost her powers. I don't see much reasoning behind killing Marie, as she would have died in a few months anyway, but when in hospice care the nurses and such know when your pulse stops or slows down, so Adalind would not have time to search. Plus, what if an actual nurse came with actual medications? So yes he needs to be ragged on. But Adalind is blamed for Hank's poisoning more than Renard just as Pardarus is blamed more than Hera or Athena is for continuing the Trojan War past the defeat of Paris by Meneleus (Meneleus and Paris attempted to fight it out between the two of them, Meneleus almost killed Paris, Aphrodite saved Paris, Meneleus was considered victor, Hera convinced Athena to convince Pardarus to shoot Meneleus, Athena convinced Pardarus to shoot at Meneleus, Pardarus shot Meneleus, the war continued.) The Captain may have convinced Adalind to do it, but in the end it was her choice. On the other hand, the Hexenbiester have MAGIC. Who says that they can't wake Hank up with their powers? Rosalee does not know everything, and neither do her books. But the hexenbiester might. There are also other ways of taking people hostage. Come on.

While on the topic of Trojan War analogies, this whole Kelly/Adalind/Nick/Diana thing kin of reminds me of Agamemnon/Achilles/Chryseis/Bryseis. Chalcus, a Greek prophet, said that Agamemnon needed to give up Chryseis, his prisoner of war and the daughter of a priest of Apollo, so that Apollo would stop killing soldiers. Agamemnon had to give Chryseis up, but then took Achilles' tribute Bryseis. Achilles got mad. Et cetera. You say Kelly wants Diana as a second chance at being a mom? Homer and I agree.
