I agree with you. She was also believable looking to get her memories of Nick back, except it was dragged out too long.
How about that scene with Renard when she alternately fought with him and simultaneously gave in to her passion for him. She was outrageous and frighteningly out of control; I always laugh at the visual of her throwing herself passionately at him and then grabbing his service revolver and shooting five bullets into the walls and ceiling, priceless.

The Rhyme stands as warning not to think of herself as invulnerable and she nearly died. I like how Claire has portrayed Adalind.
Adalind's another of my favorites, but I agree with irukandji's opinion about her present role. We differ in that I admire Claire's interpretation of the character and think she should be allowed to show her obvious flare for humor wherever possible. (Those albatrosses do make it look easy while coasting in the air; it's those awkward take-offs and crash landings that make it such a challenge.)
Something struck me as possibly significant in this episode and that was we now know the Nick will turn 34 this June 18th. It seemed odd that he and Adalind discussed their birthdates; especially Adlind's lead-in line about her mom. And his year of birth being shown on the ancestral ledger. Probably nothing; this show is making me paranoiac. Also getting the feeling that Bitsie may be the original member of the cast to go this season.
