Watching everyone around her lie to each other, betray each other, mistreat each other, and only a few short months of life around Nick and his friends, having to depend on them for her survival and discovering that, surprise, she actually can. And knowing that the suppressant is eventually wearing off, there's a corner of her mind that's been thinking it's all going to end when that happens and she starts to go hexenbiest on them again.
in as much as i have enjoyed some of your post, this just doesn't feel right being that you talk objectively; you practically view/treat her behaviour like a victim of her hexenbiest and that all she has done is due to her environment and people around her(she's an adult). she is older than 21, she knows the difference btw right and wrong; lifetime of hexenbiest experience and all the things you mentioned up there does not excuse what she did cos in real life whether you go through such stuff of environment and family dysfunction you still go to jail- so honestly i dont buy that. that is why i made a reference to the fact that she lost her power once, why not pick up and start again with the baby she had (diana) and she is human and have feelings; why didn't the lost hexenbiest power make her change in season 2- the human diana was the one that sent the Hundjager to attack hank just for revenge- so that was all adalind whether environment affects her or not ; then the hexenbiest power is suppressed in season 4 and she changed-- unless there is an inconsistency in their writing here- 2 different adalind when she does not have the biest yet they blame the biest for her character; it just doesn'tmakes sense.
seems like you defend her actions even in season 2 and maybe 3 and also her actions for what she did to juliette (because she was human then) and going that length to infect her and put her in a coma (and don't tell me she had no intention of killing her cos she could have died) was all adalind and not the biest or environment as you might think.

So possibly she's still thinking like the Adalind who doesn't want to be a hexenbiest again and is afraid of what will happen when she does and is not yet thinking like a hexenbiest.
season 1 ending-season 2-season 3 outing of adalind gives a different impression of that statement. in as much as i agree with that what she did to juliette, hank, renard (sleeping with him) and eric was all adalind without biest and in season 4 she didn't sleep with anyone cos there was no 1 to sleep with not even viktor who was sterile.
