And Nick did tell her no one was taking their son away, so I think he not only sympathizes with her a little more than he used to, but is willing to give her a chance to be a good mom, as I think he wants to be a good dad. Hopefully she will take the chance and be a good mom first to their son, and then Diana if they get her back. I am curious why people think that Adalind has changed. Can some one who feels Adalind has changed and be a good mom, post a reason why. What in the show gives the impression she has changed. Her grave side speech? Considering she needed the help of people who did  not trust her what else would she have said. The show has shown Adalind will say what ever she needs to get people to believe what she wants them to. Her whole trick is to gain others trust.

Her actions show she does not put her kids first. If she was concerned about her child she would have never drank some potion she had little idea how it worked. All of Adalind potions have had side effects and she knows this. What mother would put there child at that kind of risk. Especially since she was not in a life of death situation.

But what's even crazyer. Nick has seen the results of Adalind's potions. But he still agreed to let her put his son at risk. ADalind knew the potion would create a violent reaction, that is why she had them hold her down.

But the last three comments all agree Adalind would make a good mother. Even though she is willing to damage her unborn child.

Well a few things, one I really think Adalind's sick of being whipped. I mean sure she's impulsive and arrogant, but she's not stupid. She must have realised by this point that all her evil deeds have just backfired and caused her to get whipped.

Two, she has changed. Sure she was always manipulative, but right now she's more or less broken. She's no longer the same smug scheming snake she was in the earlier seasons. She's a broken, miserable woman whose reduced to having to put her life in the hands of people she knows hate her and her own natural predator.

Three, past Adalind would never have taken that potion. Ignoring the argument over whether or not taking it would effect her child. Previous Adalind would have never been willing to make a sacrifice like that, she would have forced them to find another Hexenbiest and tested it on her.

Four, simply cause as selfish and unkind as Adalind is. She really does care about her daughter, I see no reason why she shouldn't also care for her son.
