I’m confused, so I’ll try to catch up. You questioned why Adalind trusted Meisner or told Nick to trust him. I responded that all the characters trusted too quickly in early S5 - except between Adalind and Renard.
Bonaparte knew that Adalind would come if he and Renard had Diana. He never planned to barter with Adalind using Diana’s whereabouts as leverage. He simply planned to coerce her into joining Renard at the BC house.
Nick might have thought talking to Renard was a risk, but Adalind never mentioned Meisner manipulating her or that he actually had Diana. My point was that Nick nor Adalind reached out to Meisner despite him and the Resistance helping her and Diana before. When Adalind asked Nick about finding Diana, she knew Meisner took her from the King, but Nick didn’t know Meisner/HW had Diana until close to the season end. But Nick didn’t have any reaction when Meisner, Eve, and Trubel told him, and didn’t show any signs of wanting to tell Adalind what was happening with her daughter. Really, most people would express more compassion when finding someone’s lost dog than they expressed for a mother and her kidnapped child. The four of them clearly intended to get Diana back and never tell Adalind about it.
Meisner said: “We get Diana back, we end this.” Nick didn’t contradict him with ‘We get Diana back and when this over we give her to her mother’. Nick just let it go and went back to work, expecting to arrive home at the end of the day with everything as usual.
