... The rising is probably an upshoot from what happens when you knock off the king, leaving a vacuum. When the king was thrown out of the helicopter, it made the Royals weak and helped the Resistance, but this new Rising appears to not be part of the Resistance. This echoes the terrorist uprisings after Saddam and Khadaffi were pulled. The new rising, is ISIS Wesen.

But it's only been a couple of days since the King was tossed out of the chopper.

And no one seems to know about it yet.

Unless Meisner or that co-pilot tells someone...no one knows.

The Royal family hasn't even announced that 'the King is missing'.

If they had, it would be in the news and Renard would be taking note of it...and wondering what has happened to Diana.

It's conceivable that this Wesen Uprising group could have a spy in the Royal family...and might have learned that the King is missing.

But unless Meisner has told them, they wouldn't know that he's dead.

It's also conceivable that these uprising Wesen could have ties to the Resistance, or spies within their ranks.

There may be some former Resistance members in this Wesen group.

We just don't know yet. Also, it should be noted that this is clearly a well-organized group, that has apparently been quietly operating for years. Chavez has kind of implied that this was always the main group that they were after. And more to the point, the guy in this episode had embezzled huge amounts of money (presumably to bankroll the group) years before, gotten caught, changed his name, and moved. Chavez said that the group was rising... everywhere... and that they were coming to Portland. Which means they're also a very large group.

If the timing of their rising (assuming that the rising is actually just starting now, as opposed to now just being the time the uprising is coming to Portland, and Chavez's group has always managed to keep the uprising under wraps before) has anything to do with the King's downfall at all, my guess is that somewhere behind the scenes, what's left of the Royals is currently in chaos, not knowing where their king is, and the uprising knows this because they have their own spies in the Royals' employ.
