She gots flustered when Trubel confronted her and the weird facial expression when Nick hugged her a couple episodes ago. Not sure if she's started feeling for him or if she can't separate her general human need for intimacy and his proximity. The history between them looksinsurmountable. The odd situation they are in due to their child which resulted from her raping him, Juliette turning evil, supposed death and now resurrected as HW assasin which also resulted due to the rape. The mind rape of Juliette via spell and the spell induced rape of Hank also hang over her head. All that needs to be accounted for and worked through, if Adalind has any hope of being more than a complicated burden on Nick and the gang. Emotional need alone won't magically make the history disappear, even for a hexenbeist.

If anything could make it happen it'll be Kelly as the linking force. If they work through all the history and forge something new and real, it'll be because they want Kelly to have something approximating a family. But it will always be complicated and weird. Just as the victims and the victims' families of those that Monroe either scared to death or actually died when Monroe was not who is now, if you think them wanting to kill or ostracize Monroe for his past deeds (that we never saw, only the reformed Monroe) is a mistake, imagine what you'd look like if you were those people coming after Adalind had she reformed in 10 or so years

The caveat of course, is getting to that 10 year mark of "being good"

Still, what if the families or his victims came after Monroe 1, 2 or 5 years after turning over a new leaf?
