syscrash, your counter argument is diminished by the use of the writers strategically positioning Juliette upstairs or Nick working with and trusting her alter ego. Regardless of where Juliette was standing, it was obvious that something was going down and she chose to stay upstairs. It was evident that Nick didn’t consider Eve to be Juliette, and actually considered ‘his’ Juliette to be dead. So the fact that he worked with/trusted this Eve person is irrelevant to his feelings about Juliette and her prior actions.
That Adalind not sharing information on Renard with Nick notes a lack of dependability is a personal opinion, and not shared by the character or the actor. Nick stated that he doesn’t blame Adalind. DG stated that the character Nick understands Adalind was acting on mother instincts and put her children first.
But given that the actors, writers & characters turn on a dime, their actions and opinions in one scene or interview mean little in the next. So if the show wanted Juliette’s lack of involvement understood, they should have had her arrive at the house after Kelly’s demise, and at the very least have her question the need to kill Kelly. And if the show wanted us to understand that Adalind not forthcoming with valuable information meant she wasn’t dependable, they should have told their lead actor.
A side note to offer a different opinion. Adalind did not put the attack on Kelly in motion. Kelly put that ball of mess in motion by deeming herself the only person qualified to protect & properly teach Diana, then failing miserably. Adalind grasped any opportunity available, as any mother would. I don’t know of anyone who would put the kidnapper’s wellbeing above getting their child back, other than a character in a contrived & unbelievable story.
