I'm glad you brought up hexenbiests. I am going to focus specifically on Adalind. The show (unjustly so) devolved Adalind into a person who's primary purpose is to be there for Nick. Now before anyone disagrees with me, I know there were tidbits there where she helped the scoobies, but there were not enough instances (at least to me) to conclude that the show really wanted Adalind to shine as a character in her own right, once she became a livein at Nick's.
Adalind, once she had baby Kelly, was essentially in the same situation as Juliette was. Maybe a little worse because, unlike Juliette, she was pretty much tied to the fome and didn't have a lot freedom. She had to tend to her baby.
I know she had considered the thought that Nick might go back with Juliette, and I know it must have been frustrating when Nick took a phone call from Eve, and then had to go meet with her. Adalind would trust Nick. After all, there is no reason not to. But how would she deal with his life as a grimm, where unexpected events occur regularly? For instance, how would Adalind deal with events caused by someone like the muse?
I know it was mentioned that the police don't always reveal all aspects to their job. But grimms are subject to no such limitations because being a grimm is not recognized as a service to the public. So that said, would Adalind talk to Nick about the aspects of being a grimm and the different cultures he encounters? Or has the show given her a completely blind eye in order that she tend to baby Kelly and, eventually, Diana?
Besides this posting having not much to do in replying to the threads topic; "Was Juliette always expecting nick to cheat on her?"
Still, this posting above is a prime example how a contributor to these forums creates a false scenario to support an unsustainable argument. Since the same contributor is well aware the argument it wants to create is baseless. Still, the contributor is so bent on making this baseless argument, in this scenario, facts aren't created but omitted.
Here are the facts that are omitted:
In the beginning of the Nicolette arc, Juliette & Nick were both unaware of the Wesen world.
In the beginning of the Nadalind arc, both Nick and Adalind were well versed and immersed into the Wesen world.
The Nicolette arc fell apart once Juliette became not just a Hex but a Hex on steroids lacking her training and getting accustomed of her powers without any teaching and direction Adalind received from her mother and her awareness of the Wesen world she lived in.
When the Nadalind arc started to take off, Adalind had, not only, her past experiences and familiarity of her Hex powers, she drank and tested a suppression potion, which in turn, it reduce all those negative urges that were associated with normal Hex, let alone with the steroid Hex Juliette became.
Now here is the "pièce de résistance" this contributor omitted:
The FACT she shared her 2nd child with Nick and the added abandonment Nick received from Juliette. How would this Nadalind not happen or succeed? Add in, Adalind's experience how her Hex urges contributed to her loosing her 1st child, she realized she had to change her ways as to not to loose her 2nd child.
Meanwhile, even with the resumed S3 love affair with the Nicolette arc, Juliette was still a secondary side kick to the hero. Yea, she was on the team, but Nick still had a Wesen connection with Monroe and Rosalee that did not exist between Nick & Juliette. Plus, she still fell behind Hank and Wu. And of course, there was no child to seal the Nicolette arc like the Nadalind one.
Now I am not claiming Adalind's lack of worrying about her man possibly hooking up again with his ex, who wouldn't. And I am sure Nick also had many good memories with his past with Juliette.
But no matter how much Juliette changed, after she was healed and purified by the stick, into Eve or any other versions of Evette, Adalind saw there was no reasons for her to truly be problematic with Nick being associated with any versions of Juliette. In addition, Nick might have forgiven Juliette for what she did to his mom, him and the gang, but he did not forget it.
How anyone is able to compare these two characters and their relationship with Nick and leave out these facts is mind boggling.
