They are hexenbiest with magic and the ability to compel people. That ability means they could have anything they want. Just like Adalind would compel clients to make a deal work. If they wanted a car compel the salesman to sell it cheap. I did like how the show dealt with the need to make the transaction appear to be legit, by Adalind using her knowledge to draft contracts that would seem legit.
What did change is Adalind was always on the offensive till she lost the fight against Juliette. Juliette was on the defense until she won the fight against Adalind. After the fight Adalind went to Nick for protection. She then went to the mansion as a defensive move. Juliette to an offensive position against Nick and then the group. She took an offensive position against Kenneth and then the King. In both cases she was the one making demands. In both case they where the ones trying to entice her to join them. In the Zestora incident. Adalind hide behind Nick and Sean. Both times Eve attacked the problem.
And I never forgot that fact, as Hexenbeist, they could have been sitting on top of the world and hoping they would keep a low profile and not attract too much attention the way Elizabeth and Henrietta looked like they did. But our creative team tamed both of these women.
Adalind curtailed her Hex powers to become the mother, her mother never was to her and Evette was the result of the brainwashing by HW and reformed by the healing stick. As Eve, she was just an HW tool.
IMO, once HW was destroyed, she lost her direction. She still had purpose, as she attested to Nick in the stone hedge scene, but to me, she looked as if she was always waiting for someone to assign her a mission. She didn’t seem to have too much independent thoughts until the death grip and the “Z” guy shows up.
Before she goes after him through the mirror, do you recall the bathroom scene, when Evette has just taken a shower, is wrapped in a towel and the “Z” guy shows up in the bathroom mirror? She screams out for Nick like a little girl. Or is it just me seeing her that vulnerable, since I am so biased against her?
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
