rpmaluki, there's making a mistake, and then there's non-consensual rape, attempted murder, and drugging. This isn't "carrying a grudge," this is remembering the past so it doesn't happen again.
If the writers wanted to redeem Adalind, fine. There's a dozen different ways they could have gone about doing that without forcing a romance between herself and Nick. But by having Nick an Adalind fall in love, they're basically saying rape is an acceptable (if not preferable) option for building a sturdy relationship. If the genders had been flipped, with a male Adalind violating a female version of Nick, you wouldn't even try to defend it. That's why I find your stance deeply offensive.
I'm sure if you were a German extolling the unsung virtues of the Nazi regime and a Jewish man happened to nervously mention Auschwitz and Dachau, you'd roll your eyes and say "For crying out loud, let it go already!"
