I thought that's what you were saying. To me, the hexenbiest is an entity, and according to Adalind, no one, other than the host, knows how it can control a person.

I agree. In fact, I thought this a very saavy move on her part. It took some guts to walk into that police precinct very pregnant and obviously very vulnerable, and at the same time be able to present a bargaining chip.

I wasn't referring to Adalind in season 5 only. I was thinking of Adalind from Diana's birth. Even though Diana was taken from her, it's apparent Adalind figured she might just get her daughter back. Yet I never saw Adalind making any real attempt at setting up a life for her and Diana. I'm not saying she shouldn't be looking for Diana, but I found the her whole plan of siding up with the royals and all that baloney nade a great case for tunnel vision. She eventually got booted out and was left with nothing. I agree there's not much she can do in the fome, but doing something is preferable to doing nothing and then sitting around sighing about how she hopes Diana is okay.

I have received a lot of flack over this, but I still believe Nick/Adalind too closely resembled Renard/Adalind. And for me anyway, Nick being the object of Adalind’s fixation doesn’t make her behavior any less retrofitted. With Renard, Adalind ignored his lack of affection and worked harder and harder to be what he wanted, do whatever would please him.
Despite their flirty and sometimes playful interaction, once Adalind confessed she loved Nick and they had sex, Nick turned an about-face, becoming visibly distant and distrusting. And as she did with Renard, Adalind ignored Nick’s behavior and worked harder to be what she thought would make him happy and make him want to be with her.
Did you believe her when she told Nick she loved him?
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
