I thought there was some chemistry between them a few times when she was Eve, but that was quickly quashed by the creative team. If you compare Nick and Eve's friendship to that of Nick and Monroe, it falls completely flat. Not because it's a man to woman friendship versus a man to man friendship. It has to do with the interaction of the characters as allowed by the creative team. Nick and Monroe interact on a much more personal basis than Nick and Eve. In my estimation, I see Nick and Eve as more peers than anything else. It's apparent to me that their peer relationship was never going to go further. Nick never cared for Eve the way he cared for his friends.I was talking about Nick and Juliette right after she became a Hexenbeist before she went off the bender. I'm saying had they persevered and truly worked through their deep seeded issues, even without bringing marriage into the equation, perhaps they could have mixed well and actually made it work, the whole grimm and hexenbiest thing. I expected it but it never happened. It's bewildering how he made it work with Adalind.
You are right about the writers shooting down any real connection between Nick and hexenbiest Juliette or Eve for whatever reason. Nick was quite distant with Eve for all of season 5 and sort of apprehensive with her when she started having issues after the stick incident. Nobody will ever top Monroe when it comes to who Nick is closest to but I wouldn't say he was detached from Eve at all this season, at least not as blatant as he was last season. Nick had his life and he involved her as much as it was appropriate, even letting her stay at the loft as long as she did, however awkward that whole situation was imo.
I think both Nick and Eve drew a line where each was concerned as they should, all things considered. Too much had gone down between them and both were too far gone apart for any lingering closeness resembling some of what we saw in the first few seasons. I wouldn't be surprised if they drifted further apart over the years.
I would have been happy to see a scene or two where Adalind, with her non-existence Hex powers, would ask Eve-ette to join her and Nick in bed to feel safer. After all, he did sleep with both of them twice before. A newer meaning to a "Happy Ending".
