So not much thinking put into it, except the male fantasy mindset.
The biggest problem for me was that Juliette was beaten down, mentally fractured into an asset/killing machine whose only aspiration was fighting HW’s mission. She didn’t express any needs/desires as a woman/individual. And when the Eve character ran it's course, the show stick whammied her, basically setting her back into the Juliette personality who looks to Nick for direction.
So pretty much, Juliette and Adalind are either Nick’s adversaries who everyone hates or they’re dependent on him, and liked & accepted by the group.
The show seems to rely on Adalind’s fashion statement to indicate whether her intentions are good or bad. MarylikesGrimm commented that because photos in later episodes show Adalind dressing the way she does when with Renard, she assumed Adalind was back with Renard during those episodes.
Renard believed he and Adalind were discussing Diana’s education & socials needs, and seemed to agree those things needed to be addressed. But. Adalind was conning Renard into staying at the mansion while Nick impersonated him. So technically, she wasn’t showing more concern/interest in Diana’s needs than she has Kelly’s. I don’t think Adalind contemplates about the next day, much less the future. Adalind might have a little Scarlett O'Hara in her - “I’ll think about that tomorrow.”
