From the hexenbiest we have seen family is not one of their attributes. Even Elizabeth who appers to love her son does not give the impression of family. We take a look at Adalind who is trying her best to create family. Her actions shows she is in uncharted territory. The comment she made to Nick about not needing to know if he would be home, is her not knowing what should be expected. It is her inability to recognize courtesy from control.

The show uses Monroee and Rosalee to define what the show defines as family. Both have always put  the other before themselves. both have been willing to die for the other. The same was true with the old Juliette and Nick. Adalind does not have the ability of self sacrifice. She is to much of a savivor. Even Trubel who had to be a savivor became selfless. Like she said she spent all her life being hunted, it is hard being the hunter. In the case with the shoplifters, her main concern was to get the girls to safety.

To be fair Adalind has not really had a chance to prove herself since joining with Nick. The supression was more for her safety then to help Juliette. If the writers really wanted to show Adalind as changed. The sandwhich could have been an opportunity. Why not let her tell Nick, " Let me do that for you". She made the comment that she knows her way around a kittchen. Why did Nick have to ask her about Meisner instead of her volunteering. Even then she seem apprehensive about providing information. Yet she had no problem talking to Trubel about Meisner. Even though the conversation was all about her, and what she wanted.
