Beside, even if they thought thy were doing the best for Diana they kidnap her, so they had some problems coming How could Adalind think that joining the Royals would ever get Diana back. Did she really think after betraying the Royals they would take her back. That they would let her see her child. Even before betraying the Royals did she really think she was going to have a say in how Diana was raised.

Even worse she runs from the Royals because she feared for her safety. But after betraying the Royals Adalind figures the Royals are the safest place to be. This is my porblem with Adalind she just doesn't think. Or her thinking defies logic.

I understand her initial reason for getting pregnant and then running to Vienna. But after that it does not make sense. Wouldn't it have made more sense to stay with Nick and Sean working with them to get Diana back. In MBTI terms, Adalind is an ESFP which means she doesn't think far ahead in advance. She just does things. I don't like that kind of behaviour either (I know someone who is an ESFP in my life and they do piss me off at times) But I suppose in a good way, she's not a scheming dangerous cow like Juliette will become. Juliette is scary. Adalind was never scary. Which is why Juliette will make a better villian than Adalind.

The dangerous ones are the ones who can plan ahead and scheme. Adalind was really poor at this and so failed as a villian because she wasn't scary. She can piss people off short term but her being desperate to get Diana back shows she does love her child. She is capable of loving.

The show must explore this side of hers more.
