The writers can do almost anything they want with Grunt. No one knows what Okeer was imprinting on him while he was in the tank.
He feels nothing for Okeer. Okeer couldnt plant connection remember? This is why Grunt has to figure himself out. He should be with Shepard.
It's subliminal, something just needs to trigger it. I don't believe Okeer failed, if he did Grunt becomes a lot less interesting IMO. This is something I wrote for the party banter thread a while back
[Scene - Shepard, Mordin and Grunt have boarded and fought their way through the interior of a Reaper laying waste to Sur'Kesh. Upon the core's destruction Grunt rushes forward to a control panel]
Shepard: Grunt, what are you doing?
Grunt: Shepard, it's magnificent. I have found my purpose and I understand why Okeer created me.
Mordin: Unknown imprint has surfaced. Triggered from subliminal memories. Beware Shepard. We are not dealing with the Grunt you know but rather the Warlord Okeer.
Grunt: Silence Salarian. I am about to show your kind a fraction of the desolation you inflicted on mine. Behold, the largest spawning pool on Sur'Kesh. After I engage the Reapers weapon the pools will be obliterated entirely. How many of your larval young will die Salarian?
Mordin [extremely agitated]: Monsterous. Millions will be denied a chance to ever experience life. Diversity of a generation lost forever. This must not be allowed. [Mordin holds up a gun with unsteady arms]
Grunt: You think that pea-shooter is going to stop me? Your kind will soon know what we felt.
Shepard: Grunt, you are not Okeer, hell you hate him. Be the bigger man and show forgiveness.
Grunt: Forgiveness is not the Krogan way Shepard. Your people have a saying, "An eye for an eye". That is the Krogan way.
Shepard: The Krogan way is in the fight against worthy enemies. The ones you would kill are not worthy. Hell Grunt, they can't even walk.
Grunt: It is symbolic Shepard. When I do this Urdnot clan will rise and Salarians everywhere will know despair. This is my lifes purpose Shepard. My destiny.
Shepard: The strong make their own destiny. And your destiny is to stop the Reapers. As it stands the Salarian homeworld has been saved by a Krogan, that is what will make clan Urdnot proud and respected accross the galaxy. Okeer has no hold on you Grunt.
Grunt[stares down at the Salarian homeworld then turns back to Shepard]: You're right again Shepard. They are not worthy and neither was Okeer. Lets get back to the Normandy and get some breakfast. Then hunt down another Reaper.
