But if the Nick/Adalind relationship changes, so could other components. Nick felt something happening with the stick while Juliette was in the tunnel. It’s not farfetched that he’d discover her later that night. Nick and Adalind not in a relationship would not make them estranged or change Diana’s abilities. They would still work together against a common threat to their loved ones and Diana would still see/interpret information. The how/when/where might change, but not the end results. Kelly would still be a Grimm and Adalind’s son in the future. Those things didn’t come to pass because Nick and Adalind were in a relationship when Zerstörer was destroyed. Nick and Adalind in a relationship did not cause or prevent anything that happened. Their relationship was only a component of the overall BC and Zerstörer storylines.
I was not suggesting Nick and Adalind’s relationship in itself wasn’t valid or necessary, only that it didn’t have any real effect on how BC and Zerstörer played out. Look at it this way - had Nick not fallen in love with Adalind would…
Nick have gone to the BC house, taken Kelly and left Adalind to fend for herself
Nick and the others not have protected Diana
Nick have disregarded Adalind wanting/needing to be rid of the ring
Nick, Adalind, Renard, and the others not have joined forces against Zerstörer
Nick and Adalind not have become trusted allies and parenting partners dedicated to their son’s wellbeing
How would have Eve and Nick been able to leave "The Other Place" without Diana?
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
