The issue with your response is that you are assuming Adalind is using her manipulation skills for evil purposes. Therefore, you're implying she is not using her manipulation skills because she isn't doing anything evil. Correct?
I'm saying Adalind didn't use any type of manipulation on Nick. I think there are times where I would've preferred her to and show some fire like the old Adalind but she was always genuine with him. She didn't even manipulate him into bed. She was actually being sincere when she said she was scared of sleeping alone and felt safer with Nick in the room with her because he could kill anything that walked through that door.
Throughout the last two seasons, I saw Adalind being genuine with her feelings when she talked to Nick. She won Nick over by not being a manipulative Hexenbiest.
The only time I saw Adalind even try to be manipulative was with Renard in season 6 so she could buy time for the gang. And even then it was clear she wasn't her old self because she wasn't very good at it.
