Wow, this discussion has kind of degraded...

But to address some points:

1. I don't think anyone, even the Nadalind shippers, is claiming Adalind to be a saint? She has done some bad things, but look at where she was in her life; she was working for Renard, trying to impress an impossible mother, and also had part of her completely taken away--twice (her hexenbiest powers and then her daughter). No offense, but Renard gets WAY more of a pass than anyone else, despite his lying and scheming. I think we're going to see him going back to being more villainous, but not Adalind.

2. It's very clear from ep. 100 that Nick and Adalind do care about each other, but consider how much their lives are tied together; Adalind doesn't have a job, and her powers are just starting to come back. She's heavily dependant on Nick for everything. And likewise, Nick still has to keep doing his job (as a detective and as a Grimm) and relies on Adalind to completely take care of their loft and their son. They don't have a choice but to build a bridge and try to at least get along, and being in such close quarters, with so much at stake, it makes sense that they would have some feelings about each other. But is it love? Doubtful. I'm still certain that, given an opportunity, they would not stay together.

3. And uh, Nick as a player? When have we EVER seen him be capable of something like that? I would suggest Supernatural as an alternative if you would like a protagonist with too many love interests and no intentions to settle down.
