Love our deceptively complex (shout out to Maura Isles) teen lesbian vampire show. Seriously can't stop thinking about it.
Here's the thing: Theo's death was his own and Apollo's fault. There's a lesson for them to learn here. The lesson is in that part of the voiceover that says the people who hunt the monsters must be careful that they don't become monsters themselves.
They knew they couldn't kill Elinor, they just wanted the pleasure of staking her. I genuinely don't believe Elinor would've killed either of them, unprovoked, not in that moment. She did know the chaos that would've caused and what would've happened to her and Juliette's relationship that's why she made them forget she was involved. She didn't want Juliette to know she was involved.
Yes, Elinor of course knew being staked wouldn't have killed her and she simply could've let it happen and she definitely made a very conscious decision to make that stake go into Theo instead. But I think it's a lot to ask someone to let themselves be hurt to save the life of someone who literally decided they would torture her for fun.
It's not enough that the Guild simply give hunters orders and tell them who or what to kill. Just like the military. The indoctrination isn't successful unless they also make them hate the enemy. Theo and Apollo are their father's sons. They hate monsters. They feel hate toward them (I found it unexpectedly insightful of Cal to be aware they they were taught to hate monsters. Like she understands this was put on them). They hate Elinor which is why they decided to fight her. Hurt her. That's some monstrous shit. That's bloodlust. Torture for nothing. At least with Oliver, Talia was trying to get Cal back.
Now, does Elinor still deserve to be in exactly where she ended up? Absolutely lol. And are Theo and Apollo both still sympathetic characters? Absolutely.
Deceptively complex.
