Answering the door was a way to make a point. They wanted something so you would see Viktor acting unexplainably. Something that would make it unmistakably that Viktor is not acting his normal self. Something as simple as when he gentle woke Adalind and comforted her about her fears of going to Portland. Viktor is the kind of person that would have sent someone else to wake her. Telling her to get dressed no questions asked. This idea that Viktor is being nice to get ADalind to cooperate. Viktor needed more cooperation from Stefania. At no point was he ever cordial with her. Her motivation was total fear of Viktor. 174.92.14.96 wrote:

You assume that he gave her all black clothes because he would like seeing her in them, rather than the more likly reason of "they're all black because he is trying to keep adalind on her leash and she has a preference for clothes of that colour" Look at all of the images of Adalind. When she is in black is when she is doing her hexenbiest thing. When her cloth choice is light is when she is being Adalind. This is by design so the audience can follow which character you are watching. The darker Adalinds clothes the more devious she is getting ready to be. Dark clothes are her evil costume. Point when we see her with Diana we see her in light clothes even if it is just the coat. Color is used for visual clues. So if Viktor wanted ADalind as a mother there would have been clothes that promote the kinder motherly Adalind. Watch Juliette when Juliette is in red you know something big is getting ready to happen. You will also notice that green is being used to indicate Juliettes hexenbiest transition. Having all black clothes indicates Adalind is going to called upon to be her evilest. 174.92.14.96 wrote: The biggest assumption you make however is that Vicktor is likely or even capable of harboring romantic feelings towards Adalind. I am talking about suduction not romance. What hexenbiest do has nothing to do with sex or romance. It has to do with understand and knowing what it takes to make a man do and perform outside of their normal behavior. Adalind needed to tone Viktor down if for nothing else for her own protection. Going to Portland with Viktor as his sadistic psychopathic self would get you killed. Watch how Adalind responds to Viktor. She acts as if she has it all under control. She shows no fear of being with Viktor. But then she always feels she has her men under control. It is what her mother has always tried to teach her. There was that long discussion Adalind had with her mother on how to control Sean. When her mother sent her to Sean to get the key. 174.92.14.96 wrote: Vicktor is never going to show genuine ("genuine" is the important word here) interest in her, and no one but you seems to want that I never said Vicktor would sleep with Adalind. At least not out of being interested in him. The show makes a point to indicate hexenbiest are seductress not prostitutes. 174.92.14.96 wrote: The closest he comes is acting courteously with Adalind before she gave birth, and that is probably due to what Victor considers "Manners" Adalind was pregnent with Royal blood, that is why Viktor was civil. As for "Manners" Viktor has shown when he is nice to you. Your are about to be dead. Remember the plan was deliver the baby and toss Adalind out with the trash. If it wasn't for Stefani. Viktor would have cut the baby out. he was getting very impatient. 174.92.14.96 wrote: you assume that Hexenbiests are primarily seductresses, as opposed to all the evidence that Hexenbiests are primarily powerful magic users who occasionally use sex as a means Only on Hank was magic used. With Hank magic was not used to seduce him but to obtain leverage. Sean had never intended for Adalind to put Hank in danger. He only wanted Adalind to persuade him. From the conversation ADalind and Sean had. He was disturbed that ADalind had not turned Hank because he know she could if she wanted to. Sean did not buy that weak excuse that Hank's professional ethics was getting in the way. Because SEan was up against the clock he gave ADalind the blood so she could take a short cut. I see it as Adalind made up the excuse hoping Sean would make Nick the target.

We can see the show implicating the seductive power of hexenbiest in how SEan responds to Juliette. Long after the obsession potion. Sean has never had a problem being around Juliette. But as a hexenbiest each time Sean is around Juliette he gets more and more uneasy. Compare how he responded when Adalind as Juliette made a pass at him. To how he is with her now.
