I was thinking that G&K were taking the opposite approach to Nick arousing suspicion. Adalind is so trusting of Nick protecting her & the children from whatever may come that her lack of concern to key points of possible threats to Diana is ridiculously over the top. Despite Diana’s abilities, or maybe because of what Diana is, doesn’t it make more sense that Adalind would be frantic over learning what the symbols mean and why Diana is drawing them? It isn’t necessary for Nick to actually compromise Diana, it’s enough that Adalind thinks he might to cause conflict that leads to betrayal.
I agree that Adalind’s scenes in S6 aren’t necessary for the story, and more akin to the actor being used because she’s getting paid regardless. But that was also pretty much Adalind’s role in S5, popping up occasionally as a reminder she was still living with Nick.
The sad reality is that other than Nick having to work out childcare and his woe-is-me relationship issues, Adalind's S5 role wasn't sufficiently significant to change the overall story whether there or absent.
