I'm still kind of in shock that they're moving this fast. Nick wouldn't move this fast if this were real, and if there wasn't some other force going on. Like it or not, he did have some pretty major feelings towards Juliette... that's what matters. Not our feelings... Nick's.

There's a reason I focused entirely on theories behind Nick's behavior in my last posts. To me, Adalind's behavior requires no explanation. Especially the bewildered look when Nick hugged her. Kind of surprised that there are people trying to explain that look. I'm firmly sticking to my interpretation, which promises that there will be explanations in the show:

Adalind looked bewildered by Nick's behavior, because Nick's behavior is bewildering.

Chemistry or no chemistry, Nick and Juliette had far too much history for him to simply get over her like this, and chemistry or no chemistry, Nick and Adalind had far too much bad history for him to simply get over it like this.

That's why I loved the look. Because it indicates that the show knows that Nick's behavior is bewildering, and by extension, promises that there will be some sort of explanation or development along those lines. That's why I like the, "Kelly's unconsciously affecting Nick's emotions" theory - it not only explains Nick's bizarre behavior in the last couple of episodes, but also allows for some interesting world-building (in the form of "Zauberbiests do this"), and most importantly, it furthers the Nick/Adalind development in a way that doesn't completely undermine Nick's integrity, completely ignore continuity, or insult our memory and intelligence.
