Juliette for whatever reason was insecure with Nick. Not having a background on her own family we can't see the cause of this. We seen Nick jealous but not insecure and he did have a reason in season 2, but not insecure.(09-01-2017, 06:52 AM)Robyn Wrote: Nick became a Grimm in the pilot, but the show presented Nick and Juliette as normal people living a normal life and on the cusp of entering a normal marriage prior to the pilot episode. It’s not unusual that Juliette would suspect Nick was cheating if he’d never been secretive and evasive before. She’s certainly not going to speculate that her boyfriend had become a mystical warrior fighting against mystical animal like entities.
In comparison, Adalind was not only a part of the mystical world that Juliette couldn’t have comprehended, Renard had never been loyal to her or anyone else. So Renard being secretive and evasive would have been par for the course.
I don’t understand how the number of times Juliette suspected Nick has any value. Did Juliette continue to suspect Nick once he stopped deceiving her?
YES, she did, as posted on the first post of this thread. S3, E5, El Cucuy. As Juliette checks Nicks emails for his medical test results, she reads an email from his mom signed off as “Love M”. She was very suspicious.
Now take Adalind Juliette/Eve is staying in the fome but we don't see her being insecure so can we take away the point she knows and has total trust in Nick. We also have a scene where Adalind and Nick talk about this living arrangement showing Nick is taking Adalind feeling into account. We do know some of Adalind background so we could understand her if she was somewhat insecure, with her dad leaving at age 4.
However, I must say that Nick does exhibit some of his insecurities where Adalind's concerned, especially at the beginning of the show. When he first sees the ring on her finger, the night when she comes home to the loft and he repeats how he felt when she "left" him and then later when she tells him about Renard not being Bonaparte's killer and he gives an incredulous comment about Adalind defending Renard. He came across as jealous. And we see more of this Nick in one of the deleted scenes where he asked Adalind's about Renard's new home (which was gorgeous imo). He doesn't voice his insecurities a lot, and not even blatantly but you can clearly see his demeanor change when something makes him uncomfortable.
Adalind had none of these issues in S6. It seems they were exorcised the night he came to her at the mansion.
I was wondering about that. I wonder what exactly Nick was supposed to have done to make Adalind feel so secure about their relationship that she would show no signs of jealousy or insecurity about Eve/Juliette working together with Nick. I wish the writers delved more into that, because Nick still seemed quite unsure about his relationship with Adalind in season 5. There were glimpses of his actual feelings for her, but he wasn't as open with his feelings as she was towards him. And yes, I don't know if the writers did it deliberately but I noticed that Nick seemed rather touchy when it comes to Adalind and Renard, Nick acted pissed off and immediately jumped to the conclusion that Adalind was defending Renard when she told him about Bonaparte.
I think there's a difference between S5 and S6 regarding Nick's feelings for Adalind. In S5 the mistrust was probably more towards her old self returning and in S6 it was his insecurity over her "leaving" him for Renard. He understood what drove her to do that but he was still deeply hurt over it. I don't think he ever wanted to play nice with Renard. It was Adalind who made the decision to involve him at the end of the show only because Nick was trapped in another world and they needed all the help they could get. Adalind's way over Renard but perhaps Nick never truly got that after BC used her and Kelly to bolster his family image for all Portland to see.
