Keith is going to be a few years cartoon seasons older and currently involved in what I think of as a "temporary betrayal arc." Essentially, he is going to be a Galra (the purple antagonist furry aliens) that was placed on Earth undercover to bring together all the Voltron lions without realizing it so that Zarkon (the Galra's evil emperor leader) could get the lions under his control. He's a sleeper agent of sorts, albeit one that was raised on Earth and really does care about his team.
In a fit of stupidity and Keithness, he's going to go to the Galra and claim he's loyal to them, giving them his lion in the process (though he'll be allowed to keep it, as Zarkon in this possible AU future would recognize his fighting prowess and would allow him to remain as the red paladin). In truth, Keith is going to try to take out the empire from within, only he's going to act like he's super betraying his pals and being a jerk about it all.
The end of the arc wouldn't have played out entirely, so Keith would still be putting on that show. Badly. Because Keith + acting + ... acting ...
I'm intending to have him remember this afterward! I don't know if the show is going to do Galra!Keith, but it seems ripe for playing out conflict anyway, since Keith is pretty adamant about stopping them as quickly as possible.
