This is my prediction about Bridgett…

Skoorb said:
My prediction is that she is going to give Challe back to Anne willingly at some point in the season, instead of being forced to do it.

The show appears to be going so that Anne (with the help of her friends!) will solve all of the problems with the Paige Workshop, and she’ll find a way for Bridgett to pursue her dream of being a Sugar Artisan. And then Bridgett is going to see the error of her ways and give Challe’s wing back to him so he can continue to be with Anne. Her and Anne may even become friends in the long term.

Is it somewhat predictable? Maybe. Am I still gonna love every second of this season? Yes I am! 🥰

Agree with OP. Episode 1 made it pretty much obvious that Bridget's a victim here. I think Elliot brought her here primarily because he's hoping she'll help with Bridget.
MY hate towards Bridget isn't as strong as it was at the end of S1. Keith is still the #1 villain of the story. You just can't overlook the fact he tried to kill Ann.

Bro, that wasn't Keith. Still, Jonas didn't necessarily try to kill her, he just made it so Challe had no way of stopping him while protecting Anne. 

Sigmar-Unberogen said:

Woops. Realized mixed names seeing Keith in episode 2, but didn't bother editing here.
Anyways, as I remember Johnas didn't yet know how good of a fighter Shall was, or whether he'd even help Ann considering Shall was still asking Ann to give him orders is she wanted him to do something.
My point is, it's still attempted murder. He still gambled her life.

sorry but bridget deserves everything that coming to her.. She can't be a artisan so she takes it out on a girl unrelated to her? Steals someone precious to her and abuses him? Nah mate. F Bridget.

That's not quite accurate, Jonas witnessed Shall fend off that entire horde of "birds" that practically darkened the sky, and Anne possessed Shall's wing, so he was compelled to protect her anyway. I wouldn't argue that it was reckless, something bad definitely could have happened, but I don't think he tried to kill her so much as he just made a (fucked up) diversion that would allow him to steal the sculpture and escape. He was surprised to see Anne arrive at the festival because he didn't believe she could have made anything worthwhile in the time she had left, not that she wasn't killed, per say.

I get your point but it still sounds like lawyer (you) protecting your client (Jonas) at court to reduce his sentence or something :D
Sure, I can imagine how Jonas likely wanted to stall Ann rather than have her killed, BUT it still doesn't change the fact his actions could've gotten her killed. You also agree that it was possible for something bad to happen.
It seemed to me Jonas was too desperate at that moment to care for probabilities of Ann's survival/death. He was too careless so what he WISHED is irrelevant.
I don't think saying "my client HOPED/BELIEVED Ann would survive that anyways" is a convincing argument to drop "attempted murder" charge. Sure, Ann survived, but that's exactly why Jonas is tried for "attempted murder" and not "murder". We have to thank Shall for that, not Jonas's wishful thinking. 
Though again I would agree that Jonas may have indeed intended to simply have Ann stalled, but his action nonetheless resulted in endangering Ann's life and that's all that needs to be taken into account.
I mean, if you care for her life and want to simply stall her, try sabotaging or destroying her transport maybe? You can't just threaten a person's life and say "I only wanted to stall you, I swear" or "it was just a prank bro" or some cheesy BS like that.

GUILTY! *Gavel hits*

However, to prove it was in fact "attempted murder" you would have to unequivocally prove that Jonas' intent was to murder Anne, not simply that he put her in a situation that could have caused her death.

It's still an attempted murder in my book. I did a bit of research and what happened perfectly fits the description of second degree attempted murder.
Here's a definition for second degree attempted murder:
The person intentionally committed an act which would have resulted in the death of victim expect that someone prevent person from killing victim or he/she failed to do so.
Once again I don't see how "I was sure she wouldn't have died anyways" is a convincing argument. At best Jonas won't be convicted for "first degree attempted murder", which is Jonas DELIBERATELY trying to have Ann killed but failing. He may have intended to just stall Ann (even than it's still too extreme), but whether Jonas intended or not, Ann's life was still threatened due to Jonas's actions - that's the point here. 

-Judge: "Why did he do such thing again?!"
-Lawyer: "Ann has an OP fairy who would've saved her anyways. Plus, because he deceived her, stole her stuff, ran away intending to present it as his own to profit from it, and didn't want her stopping him. Had my client succeeded in manipulating her into marrying him earlier, thus exploiting and dumping her later, he wouldn't have to resort to such extremes your honor." 
-Judge: "BRUH!" 
*smashes gavel over Jonas's head*

While it's true that the actions taken could have, in theory, killed Anne, it was simply extremely unlikely to occur.

Unfortunately, I guess we'll never know, since that bastard got off scot free.

This would sound ridiculous in court NGL. I mean, how can you calculate the likelihood of victim dying? Would they test how good of a fighter Shall is to determine whether he could stop a pack of wild dogs or not? There are so many other factors to consider, like element of surprise, location of victim, weather, stress level. It's dumb and pretty much pointless to try to "replicate" the event to determine how severe the threat level actually was - all for the sake of Jonas the culprit? Nah. Victim here is Ann. Ann didn't ask Jonas to be attacked by dogs lol. Yet again, this situation is second degree attempted murder no matter how you try to spin it.  

Jonas intentionally committed an act which would have resulted in Ann's death (even if you claim it's very unlikely to have occurred) except Shall prevented this. Whether Shall is great protector or not is ultimately irrelevant since he was forced into protecting Ann from dangerous situation Jonas made. Ann and Jonas weren't just "fooling around" to test Shall's strength or something; it was Jonas intentionally putting Ann's life at risk in an attempt to get away with theft. Obviously Jonas can't know Ann's the protagonist of the story and has plot-armor thus her chances of dying were actually 0%. As a character of this story Jonas couldn't have seriously calculated the possibilities to come to YOUR assumption of "Ann's death is simply extremely unlikely to occur". Even if that's the case, are you then going to say "an attempted murder is a case when a person was AT LEAST 51% likely to die or something?". If Ann was 0.5-1% likely to die it's no longer an attempted murder, lol?

In your weird example (since it's not attempted murder anymore lol), you could say: "victim was wearing a bulletproof helmet and I was certain they wouldn't die anyways so I shot them in the head". Did I consent to being shot lol? - No. Hence why you'd be charged with first degree murder lol. Similar story with Jonas. Jonas thinking Shall was (approx) 99% certainly going to protect Ann, doesn't free him from the remaining 1% where Ann dies due to his foolishness and greed.

Even worse, Ann would likely not take the case to the court since she's too naïve. She'd even help Jonas avoid harsh sentence because she'd feel sorry for him and likely say some cheesy BS like: "Shall protected me well anyways so it's ok" -_-

Dunno, I'm still inclined to believe Jonas would be found guilty of attempted murder (second degree) considering all of his other mischiefs (theft, manipulation) leading to this incident. + Criminals usually get all apologetic and innocent once caught so it's very unlikely his excuses would hold water.

In conclusion, I'm more convinced than before that Jonas is guilty of second degree attempted murder, thus he's the worst character of the series so far.

Regardless, it seems clear that in practical (not legal) terms Jonas did not seriously intend to murder Anne, even if his diversion was reckless and could have resulted in injury.
