It's fine to not erase Adalind's past. I just think using it to paint Adalind as some schemer in seasons 5 or 6 don't hold weight because that wasn't the direction taken. I'm not saying it was particularly well-written but that was the end-product.
All good points. I think your second paragraph hits the nail on the head and in many ways, it goes back to females not being well written in the series. I'm one of those who doesn't see Adalind as truly remorseful and good any more than I see Juliette as truly remorseful or good. The two women just haven't been developed enough for me to believe they've really changed. The direction was often so up in the air with them, it seemed to me they could turn on a heartbeat.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
