The conversation Eve and Nick had about what his mom said. They both acknowledged she is a single person. It is going to take more references to the past to really determine if Eve is no longer shutting out her past.No. The complete separation from Juliette was the only trait that substantiated Eve’s existence. Otherwise, Juliette could have been taught to control her rage and trained as an HW operative. Which is pretty much what we have in S6. Juliette, with all her emotional baggage, utilizing her HW training. Eve might have felt Juliette’s concern for Nick, but Eve would not have acted on it, displaying her emotions by grabbing Nick’s hand and imploring him to be careful. Eve was only Eve when she was the only visible personality because Juliette was completely suppressed.

And having her do such dumb things like prowl around looking for the goods on Renard disguised in different colored wigs didn't make a lot of sense for a character who was so valuable HW snatched her up before she could draw her last breath.I think this has more to do with whatever Juliette/Eve is experiencing, and Adalind for that matter, isn’t about those characters, but rather, about how Nick is affected by it. Which results in this supposedly super weapon being used in routine intel gathering missions who constantly seeks out Nick to provide him updates that he routinely did little to nothing with.
Even Nick failed to recognize her as Eve. When he rescued her last season, he was still calling her Juliette. And the stigma of forever being tied to Juliette lives on.

She felt like Nick wasn't telling her everything, etc. Nothing new really, just taken to a new level.I never considered Juliette mad, but your comment gave me a chuckle. At times, Nick didn’t tell Juliette everything. And it’s likely that his initial deception about his Grimm life made Juliette suspect that if forced to chose he would sacrifice her and the relationship. Which he kind of did. But, she chose to stay despite the constant in-your-face danger and despite Nick’s deception.

Adalind is a women with a law degree who could easily find a job making six figures and with her Hexenbiest talents could possibly land her a job making half a million a year. I am pretty sure she could find a job that allowed her to bring Kelly and Diana to work. Also the fact that she has been practicing withcraft for her darn near entire life.To me, Adalind has always been needy, especially when needing protection. I think what the show failed to do was bring her full circle by allowing her to finally take charge of her life. Adalind could have gotten a job for the sake of much needed financial independence instead of the obviously contrived decision to go back to work at the exact moment Bonaparte/BC were ready to confront/threaten her. For that matter, Adalind could have gotten actively involved with HW’s research activities. She’s perfectly suited to help determine the scope of the embezzlement scheme in ‘Clear and Wesen Danger’. And Adalind working in a known Wesen law firm was the perfect opportunity to keep her eyes and ears peeled for useful intel.
I understand given the show budget and time restraint they wouldn't be able to really show this for Adalind with everything else going on but they need to drop the excessive needy behavior Adalind has for Nick. I miss Season 2,3,4(first half) Adalind storylines which focused on her outside of Nick.
Edited to add: I was really pleased that Adalind immediately challenged Nick that she wouldn’t give up her daughter.

1. Why didn't the ritual give Adalind the same power it did Diana? I mean they went through the exact same ritual.
I’m probably the least fact knowledgeable person here, but I always assumed Stefania purposely performed the ritual to make the baby as powerful as possible. Her only deal with Adalind was her Hexenbiest in exchange for a Royal heir. I doubt the King had a problem procuring a blood heir, it was the immense powers that made the baby desirable.
2. When did her powers begin to show?
If you mean after the ritual - immediately following Diana’s birth.
I want to know a little bit more about her as a child Hexenbiest to compare her to Diana. We know she was home schooled. She most of been home schooled due to her hexenbiest nature given Catherine doesn't seem like the type of person to willing home school her child.
My understanding was that Adalind was home schooled in Hexenbiest, spell’s etc. Other than that, Adalind attended school. Also, I got the impression that Adalind wanted to avoid conversations with Nick that reminded him she was a Hexenbiest, and threw out home schooling while exiting the conversation.
