There aren't any scenes of animosity between them. Likewise, there are no scenes of amicability between them either. But then I was not the one who brought that particular issue up. You did by stating Hank and Adalind got along amicably and he didn't seem to have any animosity towards her. If you recall, my question was this: Does Adalind matter more to him as an individual or does he still look upon her as a hexenbiest?
I would state that he still looks upon her as a hexenbiest and he's indifferent to her. Sure, he went to the fome and he went to the birthday part. But it wasn't Adalind who invited him. It was Nick and the primary reason was to see the baby, not Adalind.
Lump her into the scenes all you want, but for Hank's part, all he did was stand guard for her protection and after that, steered clear of her, during his time in the fome and at the party.

If I truly felt that way, I certainly wouldn't have said I wouldn't be able to stomach being around her like Hank if she had done to me what she did to him. I personally wouldn't have forgiven her but I'm not Hank. I'll repeat that he didn't appear to have any negative feelings towards Adalind or had any problem being around her. He did accept an invitation to the fome and one for Monroe's birthday getaway knowing she would be at both places.
I definitely don't pretend her Hexenbiest is gone. I saw her use her powers like everyone else so I would be crazy to deny what everyone saw. You're the one that's biased because you see it as her defining trait. You erase Adalind the person and only see her as the nasty Hexenbiest she once was. Adalind was a horrible person at one time but she changed. It's there for everyone to see. I'm not insisting you forget about what she's done in the past, I haven't, but to refuse to see that she isn't that person anymore goes against everything we saw in the final two seasons and making your up own narrative.
You were the one who accused me of coming up with reasons why they shouldn't trust or like Adalind. I didn't state that. I said she is manipulative and that is an internal trait of her species. You love the grimm diaries and often bring them into the discussion. Well, that came from them.
Now, all of the sudden Adalind is no longer manipulative and she's this changed person. I saw her concoct magic spells and you can argue the issue all you want, but magic is a form of manipulation. I'm not saying she's evilly manipulating everyone within arm's reach. However, the fact that she's ready to use her hexenbiest skills to do what Nick wants doesn't tell me Adalind's this wonderful changed person. She's not done a lot to prove to me she is. So far, I haven't seen a lot from the Pro-Nadalind section to convince me either. Mainly it's the fact that she's had a baby that most rely on as the game changer.
Now before I get a thousand posts on this, she never will. The series is over and we got what we got.
The one thing I see about Adalind is that she now has to either be a good person, or put up a front to give the illusion of a good person because as syscrash pointed out, Nick is all she has left.
I would say neither of us can prove definitively. Wouldn't you?
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
