Half of the bad things to happen in S1 was Sean's doing. Adalind was his lackey because he wanted to keep his hands clean. You can't absolve him just because Adalind is an adult. They all are and that didn't stop Sean from abusing his authority and using people to serve his selfish purposes. Adalind worked for Sean because her mother owed him and for whatever reason Adalind couldn't simply tell her mom to go jump and sort out her own debt with Sean. They both used and then abondoned Adalind when she lost her abilities while doing what they wanted her to do. Adalind's actions were not in isolation because it's what SHE wanted, she was still following orders from the bastard royal in Portland. How she went about doing Sean's bidding doesn't negate his part of the responsibility just because he didn't hold her down when Nick bled into her mouth.''

Nowhere did I say that Renard doesn't bear some responsibility in this. .....regarding the key. But I don't for once blame Renard because Adalind felt left out and so decides to take revenge. Just as a comparison, that's similar to saying Nick is to partially to blame because Juliette took matters into her own hands and burned the trailer.
