Regarding the weird Nick, Juliette "and" Adalind mé·nage à trois-but-not-really tryst, how I expected that whole scene to play out was for Nick and Juliette to be completely put off by the whole scenario and therefore want to get it over and done with so they could quickly get back to just them alone without a proverbial third party in their bed but that isn't what happened and that's always bugged me because it came across as though Nick was too much into "bedding" Adalind even though he knew it wasn't her and at the time we know he hated Adalind. So there's an unintended conflict within the narrative. And that scene comes across as though Juliette's giving Nick a free pass to cheat and he readily went along with it. I think that was a wrong narrative decision by the writers or direction if they wanted me to believe that Nick didn't ever think of Adalind with lust, a simple blindfold would gone a long way towards keeping Adalind "out" from between Nick and Juliette in an already weird, awkward (sexual kink?) scene.
