The most obvious of which is how he's no longer obligated to uphold the law while performing his Grimm duties. He used to have a line he wouldn’t cross but that's all gone.(01-21-2017, 04:16 AM)rpmaluki Wrote:(01-20-2017, 11:13 PM)syscrash Wrote: After watching the last scene with Meisner at the mansion. I am not so sure that Meisner is a hallucination from Sean's mind. It was the comment of "how did it go" that makes me question exactly what Meisner is. Not something you would tell your self. With the cloth and stick dealing with the after life. I am thinking Meisner is going to tie in to this some how.I think Nick is just uncomfortable about having to express openly his attachment to Adalind in front of his ex whether she's fully back as Juliette or the weird cross combo we've been seeing since the beginning of the season. I'd be weirdly put on the spot if my love for my current partner was broadcast as openly by my ex, then asked to confess when I first kissed my current partner in front of my ex. It's an awkward situation for Nick. I think he's aware of it potentially hurting JuliEve but this thing with Adalind is very real to him and clearly not about to change.
I also found it interesting when Eve took Nick's hand. That was Juliette not Eve. Nicknard had a very confused look. Also when Nick changed back. Adalind and Nick's hug was emotional but not what you would expect from two people that loved each other. With the level of anxiety the two went through, you would expect them to kiss each other. I am wondering if Eve's little signs of compassion are causing confusion in how Nick feels. Eve is back to gesturing with her hands when she talks. She is also showing facial expressions. Her movements are no longer robotic. Eve is the Juliette after she became a hexenbiest. The only difference is she does not have the anger for Nick and the group that she had in season 4. But then Nick and the group has accepted her for who she is.
I think the hug was very emotional and they didn't do much more than that since it was in front of everyone else and it was after Adalind specifically told him she wanted to hug him but refused to hug him as Renard. They did all the heavy kissing and making out in 6x01, no need to put on a show and make some of them (Eve) extremely uncomfortable and others extremely angry (Diana).
Nick's feelings for Adalind will hurt JuliEve but I don't think he's doing anything with the purpose to hurt. His jab from S5 was because he was worried about his son and HW was telling him to basically do nothing because he was emotionally compromised. What he said did hurt her but he was lashing out. He's calmer now so I don't see him repeating what he did in S5 unless as Eve he feels she's over stepped boundaries. He's chosen his life with Adalind, which means we'll see less of JuliEve offering the same kind of 2c about Adalind or their relationship like she did last season which seemed more antagonistic than her new stance of acceptance.

He supposedly loves Adalind but why does he? I think the writers don't want him to say the words just yet for some weird reason but why, since they've made it clear that he does?This is going to be the fairy tale of the prince kissing sleeping beauty to wake up from her sleep as Nick admitting his love to Adalind to get rid of the wedding ring spell on her finger.
Nick is probably waiting for the 'it's okay to love her, doesn't make you less of a person, we can't choose blah blah" speech or something along those lines. Eve would be the best candidate to deliver that speech. I just think he's afraid of looking like a hypocrite in memory of what the old Nick who was with Juliette stood for. Nick kept saying Adalind has changed last season and that Juliette/Eve has changed. I guess he overlooked the fact that he has changed as well. Imo this would be the best way of emotionally tackling the issue without weird throwbacks
I do think he's afraid as you say, to put it out there because it shines an uncomfortable spotlight on his former self. He loves her and he can't help himself, perhaps a part of him wished he didn't, not after everything that's happened but he does regardless and that's why he's refused to acknowledge it whether to Adalind, Monroe, Eve or even himself.
