I saw Adalind was sleeping in Nick’s shirt, but because she had asked him earlier that evening to sleep in her room, I found it strange that he was unsure about coming to bed. So I thought it might be from a later episode and she was still using the shirt.

If you notice the first time she asks him to stay with her he goes into the bedroom and lays down on top of the comforter or blanket which ever you want to call it and then in the deleted scenes it's the same thing when he goes to bed in that room with her he sleeps out from under the covers. Then I think the next time we see them in bed together is when Trubel takes off in the middle of the night and he is under the covers, sleeping on top of the blanket is one thing but sleeping under the blankert with her so close, you can see when she wakes up she is pretty close to him,I noticed the gradual change in their comfort level when sharing the bed, too. However, everything instantly changed about the Nick/Adalind relationship when they discovered Juliette was alive and assumed it was the Juliette from S4. I attributed this immediate closeness to Stockholm Syndrome and transference, and assumed as the fear/threat subsided so would the sudden intensity of the ‘relationship’. As it turned out, nothing changed until G&K decided to shift gears and ignore anything that had already aired, and I guess they assumed viewers would blindly follow the new storyline, forgetting that the relationship turned on a dime, regressing from full speed ahead to Nick being as uncomfortable and cautious around Adalind as he was on day one. Sadly, I think a lot of viewers did exactly what G&K expected.
Its pretty intimate at least that's how I see it

Makes a much better drama to the romantic approach. "The waiting to see game"I think it’s very likely G&K sacrificed continuity because they wanted to end with a ‘gotcha’ moment like they did with Juliette/Eve. But disregarding aired scenes to make this change near midseason is not dramatic, or romantic, it barely reaches daytime soap. G&K playing their silly games created a convoluted, discombobulated mess. At this point, I have as much vested interest in Nick & Renard’s mother being the endgame as I do Juliette or Adalind. Well, actually, Nick with Renard’s mother might add a little spice to the humdrum. She’s certainly not going to put up with his crap.
That said, it’s just as likely that G&K didn’t want a storyline that changed Adalind, or maybe they simply don’t know how to write Adalind as changing. Adalind has always been the victim of circumstances, but mostly, a victim of her own bad choices and actions. Through episode 7, Adalind was becoming less of a victim and more equal partner to Nick. Once the change up occurred, Adalind was back to being only the victim. She was terrified of Nick going to Germany, telling Nick and anyone within earshot she was in love with him, and never questioning how he felt about her, never considering she might deserve more than Nick’s doled out attention.

Juliette would not have been involved in Kelly’s death had she not become a Hexenbiest. Adalind would never have told Nick she was pregnant with his child had she not needed his protection.
This is how I see it....
To assume Juliette can’t recover from a single event in her past is as bigoted as assuming Adalind will always be the sum of her past. And G & K transforming Juliette into a wholly separate individual, disconnected from her past, validated this bigotry - Juliette can’t be forgiven, so she will cease to exit and a different person called Eve will take her place.
It’s equally bias that something as simple as Adalind answering a phone sparks accusation that she must have ulterior, precarious intentions. That each time Nick is shown asking her to answer his phone is ignored or Adalind is blamed for causing Nick to ask her to answer his phone. But in my opinion, no form of bigotry is worse than Adalind being expected to put Nick’s wellbeing and his happiness before her daughter. That Adalind can only be deemed worthy of consideration to join the coveted Team Grimm if she forgets her daughter and focuses only on her son with Nick and never allow her needs to hurt Nick is incomprehensible.
