Welcome, Grimm4Ever. :) And thanks, I think that was me. I think I first speculated that this could be what was happening, a few months ago in one of the Episode threads. As a result, there were lamentations, protestations and some gnashing of teeth.

Yep. They drove her right over the proverbial cliff, didn't they. In the length of one episode, it's like they flipped a switch and she went from "I just want you to know how much I love you"...to being vicious and mockingly saying "Go get em, Grimm. That's what you do!"

Her dead neighbors too, would not be able to forgive her...no wait, they can't, because they're dead. But yeah, Nick can't forgive her and neither can a lot of us viewers. And Nick doesn't even know about her jumping in bed with Renard...the rest of the stuff is bad enough. Grimm4Ever wrote: But also look at Adalind's character change. SHe never would have given up her powers so easily, especially for the phony reason of testing out a potion that would suppress Juliette's Biest side. Look at all Adalind went thru to get her powers back before. SHe wouldn't give them up like that. The writers changed Adalind to make her more likable and Juliette to be despicable. Yeah, exactly. How are we supposed to forget all the things that Adalind did? So I still don't like Adalind. I don't trust her either. The writers did a good job of making me hate her...and I am not liking this whole 'redemption of Adalind' thing.
