Meisner would be in real danger if he goes back to Europe. He was already wanted for killing Sean's brother. Now he has killed the King and has Diana. I also think that Sean knows about what the SGO is doing. He may not know they are in Portland. For four seasons the war has been the Royals wanting to maintain control over wesen. Remember Nick did not have a problem with the Royals politics. Nicks issue is they where willing to kill him for the key. In the first three seasons it was about getting the key from Nick. Season 3 and 4 it was all about the King wanting Diana.

Season 5 is wesen who are against being persecuted. Remember just letting it known you are wesen will get you killed by the council. Now it is the SGO that is hunting wesen. It is the SGO that is trying to eliminate the anyone knowing about wesen. In the first 4 Seasons this was seen as a way to protect wesen. Season 5 it is going to protrayed as persecution.

If this is where the show is going how could it end. They can't have wesen and humans knowingly co-existing. To have the SGO suppress the uprising and eliminating it's leaders would not sit well with viewers that chear for the persecuted. I think the ending will be some where in between. Wesen will stay don't ask don't tell. But it will be open knowledge they exist, they don't have to hide. They will choose to stay in the shadows because of prejudice.

I am not sure if anyone else noticed. But most of the main and underlying stories are commentary on our current societies attitudes on discrimination and persacution of those that are different. Which is why I found it strange they played Juliette rejection of Nick based solely on her percieved prejudice he would have for her because she is a hexenbiest.
