Nick taking special care of Eve (rather than it being Adalind) at the start of S6 was not part of the writers agenda, considering they knew this would be the last season. They'd set their mind on where they wanted Nick to be and wrote everything else around that. Nick's priorities were largely on Adalind first and Eve after. See Nick's reaction after Adalind volunteered to go after Eve into the alternate world. That's why i find it difficult to buy the idea of Nick suddenly wanting to get back with Juliette when they have that confrontation in the other world. There's literally no build up towards Nick's supposed change of heart (and no follow through as i previously stated). When he thought she was strong Eve, he steered clear of any responsibility even when she was living with him. Her landing in the hospital somewhat proved her vulnerability and now being powerless propelled him to step back into his protective mode overtime where she was concerned. You can note the difference between Nick at that point and the Nick at the beginning of S6, like 2 different guys. It has nothing to do with romance or which woman he wants to be with. It's that protective nature rising up again for someone that was once extremely important to him after brushing it off for nearly two whole seasons.
