I mentioned to Cole that Derek looked more like Nathanos than a regular Forsaken. He said since it’s a Blizz plot, I’m probably reading more into it than is actually there
A thought occurred to me. I know a popular theory is that the shot of Derek’s back with a knife means something (I personally dont have enough faith in Blizzard being that subtle).
However, who could he possibly assassinate that would mean anything to the Horde? Jaina is bringing him to Calia, not anywhere near Kul’tiras and we know Jaina is in 8.2.
Cole thinks he’s going to Calia (based on the dialogue, I believe), but hasn’t speculated any further. It’s Blizz. They probably won’t have Derek try to assassinate her. They’ll probably think it’d be cuuuuute to have them be a couple. And then they can be installed as Forsaken leaders or something.
