I have read a lot of posts about Adeline turning back into a hexenbiest. I can see a plot that would make her "good" from Nick's viewpoint. Nick, Adeline and Kelly are in a room together. In bursts a group of wessen or Chavez minions. They are winning against Nick, one threatens Kelly, Adeline's maternal side overrides the surpression potion, she turns hex and wipes them out. Best if none get away. Adeline swears she has been reborn as a good hex, Nick accepts that, and they become work buddies fighting off the uprising. I do not seen any easy path to a romantic relationship, but then I am not one of the writers.

She and Adalind could form a reluctant sisterly relationship in future episodes. I wouldn't mind seeing character development along those lines. But I just can't accept Adalind as Nick's sweetheart, especially after how the writers manipulated events to get to that point.

Good question I can see that and think it is in her and Nick interest for her to be a hexen. Nick can't be there all the time, but then we get into the fans who didn't like that Nick couldn't accept Juliette so now he accepts Adalind as a hexen big problems.

Well, that's the real problem, isn't it? Technically speaking, Adalind isn't a Hexenbiest anymore, which means she and Nick can get along just fine. But what will happen when she reverts? If Nick reacts to a re-hexified Adalind in the same panicky, immature way he reacted to Juliette's hexification, what's the damn point of forcing them together in the first place?

Hi Grimmsters,
I'll make two points with my 2 cents: 1. Other than the ordeal to regain her powers, Adalind has not shown much resolve. She has been a pawn with generally adverse consequences for Nick. She knows that and expressed concern to both Nick and Rosalee about what she will become when the suppressant wears off. She doesn't trust herself, so why should Nick and the Scoobies? 2. If the show needed a "good" hexenbiest, why didn't they develop Juliette into that role? Even if Bitsie was leaving, her character could have been the good hexenbiest and died saving Portland from evil Wesen. Maybe there could have been a gang of pet eating Wessen that she tried to eliminate on her own, but got killed in the effort. New Guy

I don't see it that way. Nick is the "hero" of the show. HE is the protector and the Guardian. The guy in the white hat. I think that Adaline is going to research ways to losing her powers completely and just be a normal human. Nick would never fall in love with a Hexenbeist. It's not in their nature. Plus, Hexenbeists are just nasty and untrustworthy. That's in their nature. And Adaline knows this. If Adaline is just a regular human, then there's a chance at a romance between her and Nick. But, this is going to cause problems for Adaline too. In episode 3 of this season, they state that Adaline entertains the idea of going back to being a lawyer. She was a successful lawyer in the past because she was ruthless. But, that's because of the Hexenbeist. Now that the Hexenbeist is gone, she's not going to be that ruthless. She's going to have to reinvent herself. So, I see her quitting being a defense lawyer and join the District Attorney's office as a prosecutor. That way, the writers have a reason for Adaline to work more closely with Nick, Hank and Wu. It gives them a reason to have her visiting the Police Station and squad room and expand her character. Just my opinion.

Nasty, ruthless and untrustworthy describes the hexenbiests ( and zauberbiest) on the show. They are only good when dead. Adalind is concerned that if supression wears off and she rehexeizes that she Nick may be compelled to kill her to protect Kelly, himself and Portland. I like the idea about permanent "cure" and Adalind as a DA prosecutor. I don't see Nick and Adalind as a romantic couple. IMHO, without the pregnancy, Nick would have let Juliette kill Adalind right there in the precinct hallway. New Guy

If Adaline is just a regular human, then there's a chance at a romance between her and Nick. See, it's that kind of pessimistic outlook that keeps putting me off the show every time I try to get back into it. Henrietta hinted a relationship between a Grimm and a Hexenbiest could possibly work, only for the writers to opt for the bleakest and most depressing outcome for Juliette's story. I'm convinced they did this purely for the sake of being sadistic to the fans. If all Hexenbiests are innately evil and have to be killed on sight, doesn't that prove the witch-hunters of the 15th to 18th centuries had the right idea all along? The show needs to make up its damn mind about whether it's siding with the persecuted or the persecutors. |
