She asks Nick if there is anything he can do to help find out where she is, and Nick says, "I can try, but it's not gonna be easy."I’m not arguing the sequence of events or how they came about. What difference does it make if Nick checked through a police database? He’s not going to find a record of Diana’s birth anymore than he’s going to find a police report of her kidnapping. My point was that Nick learned of Diana’s whereabouts and didn’t share that information with Adalind. Nick didn’t trust Adalind to put Grimm and HW priorities first and Adalind didn’t trust Nick or anyone else to help her get Diana back.
Hank arrives at the precinct as Nick tries to find information on Diana. Nick tells Hank, "She doesn't have any birth certificate that I know of. No social security number, no paper trail. It's like she doesn't exist."

He did want to make a connection with Adalind but his fear that her hexenbiest was going to come back blocked his ability to have feelings for Adalind or even know what he should feel.I don’t know whether Nick wanted to make a connection with Adalind or not, because nothing indicated that Nick knew what he wanted, other than Kelly living under his roof. Considering their past, that Nick and Adalind would be guarded makes sense.
But sex is not required for Nick to establish a connection with the mother of his son. Sex is an activity, that if performed correctly, has a climatic finish. If Adalind is professing love while Nick is having flashbacks of their violent past, they have not connected, they have not gained any closeness. Open, honest conversations would accomplish closeness, trust, a connection. They didn’t do that.

That they discover, through a series of events, the secrets they’ve kept from each other? Will Nick want Adalind to explain why she left with Kelly without talking to him first? Why she didn’t trust him to help her? Is Adalind going to ask why Nick lied about finding anything in Germany or that the tunnel didn’t actually go anywhere? Or are they going to continue ignoring that they don’t trust one anther and resume playing house rather than build a healthy relationship, whether living together or apart, that will benefit their son?
