In large part this is why the whole Hexen-Juliette never resonated with me, it is just too large a step from who she had to innately be as a person. Even in the deepest state's of Hypnosis (merely an altered state of consciousness were you extremely susceptible to input and stimuli) you can never get someone to act outside of their core beliefs. If they would have kept Juliette as a Baker as originally conceived it would have been more believable to me, but a doctor having that much of a personality swing and lashing out so destructively - no way.
This is very interesting to me and frankly, something I never thought of with regard to Juliette.
However, I have had a similar thought concerning Adalind. In other words, I found the transition from complete and total uber bitch to sweet and devoted partner to Nick unbelievable. One could argue it was her lack of a hexenbiest that brought out the gentleness. There's only one problem I see with that logic: Adalind lost her hexenbiest once before and was a complete and total uber bitch as a human.
LOL - I thought the same thing about her change of heart except I had an explanation for it, she was simply playing Nick. I mean come on:
Oh Nick, I am afraid to sleep alone, the bogey man might get me, I need a big strong man to protect me (as she flutters her eyelashes at him) and oh but you are so big and strong...would you just lay her beside me as I sleep ...cripes I could her women all over the Unites States laughing their asses off when they heard Adalind spew that line of crap...and there was Nick, just like a puppy dog lapping it up: oh boy I am a big strong man ---> that means I will eventually get some p_ _ _ _ !
And then Adalind reeled in her catch with the whole oh Nick you may not come back from the forest so let's have sex thing. The scene they left out was when she was riding him she reached down and grasped his hand and discretely wrote his name on a form while he was uh...distracted...thus changing the beneficiary of his life insurance policy to her.
I remember it so distinctly, we were there on the sofa watching Grimm on-line as a family and this learning opportunity came up. So I stopped the show and talked to the boy about how this is an example how a manipulative women plays with the Sir Galahad complex many immature young men have and manipulate them by stroking their ego and playing to the adolescent hero fantasy many boys entertain. And my woman concurred with my assessment.
So in summary, I think it all was very consistent with Adalind, she was out for what was good for Adalind and simply applied her feminine charm to a manipulate an emotional adolescent trapped in an adult's body.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
