But I've been feeling for a long time that she is steadily growing in her powers. She's created quite a few spells and potions thus far, and they've all have been pretty stunning. She's not grown-up in her decisions, though, and reacts in a knee-jerk way; that's what gets her in trouble. But she's only 24, just a few years older that Trubel, and that'll change with time. Both Rosalee and Elizabeth recognize that this latest is a very sophisticated spell and Elizabeth seemed very impressed at Adalind's ability to cast it.

She's 29. Guess I'm so used to lying about my own age, I conveyed the favor to Adalind.
But it got me thinking about this complicated potion Elizabeth is brewing up to restore Nick's powers. I know it's too much to ask, but please, let this be the occasion in which Juliette at last gets to exact some revenge upon Adalind for repeatedly wreaking havoc with her life. I lack the imagination to figure how it could be done in this particular situation, but it would make my day! And if it could include Juliette delivering an unladylike punch to Adalind's jaw, that would be dessert! I love both characters, but Adalind has it coming.
