The chemistry is far greater with Juliet eve than Adalind. I'm watching all again on netflex this weekend. Just wish I could show you the love in his eyes and actions with Eve juliet. Chemistry btw, is in the eye of the beholder. I didn't see any chemistry between Nick and Juliette from day one and they were together for four straight years on the show.

The show specifically showed Nick had moved on and it would have been inappropriate for Eve to reinsert herself in his life when she knew he was happy with Adalind. She overheard their very private and intimate reunion at the loft and saw them every day for maybe weeks of living with them. Nick didn't belong to Eve/Juliette and as a grown man he made his choice every single day to be with Adalind instead of Juliette. He's very monogomous and basically principled in that he would never be with one woman if he wanted to be with another at the same time. He literally tells Hank that hes a "one woman" man in the very first episode of the show just before he sees Adalind across the street. He loved Juliette for four seasons but they were not all happy times and things degraded between them and eventually they couldn't maintain the relationship. Things changed. In S05, he discovered feelings for Adalind and by the end of S05, his heart was no longer with Juliette at all, not even when she stood in front of him after the stick "fixed" her and she was basically her old self again but still a hexenbiest and Adalind was stuck in Sean's mansion.

At the end of S05E22 he senses Juliette's back (he even calls her Juliette) but barely an hour later in S06E01, he's running to Adalind and kissing her passionately, not once but twice.

In S06E02 he's embarrassed because Eve/Juliette KNOWS he's in love with Adalind, how awkward for Nick to have his ex talk about his feelings for his new lover.

In S06E03 he says in front of everyone that his first kiss with Adalind was in the woods in S01, which is very telling because he never told his friends how he broke Adalind's curse on Hank. To him it's no longer him, a grimm "disarming" his enemy, a hexenbiest in order to save his friend and partner. It's somehow become intimate and he mentions it in front of the woman who was his live in girlfriend when the kiss happed. You would think if Nick wanted to be with Juliette, he'd shut up about kissing other women during their relationship.

In S06E07, even under the effects of the potion, Nick knows who he's in a relationship with. We see him waking up and fetching Adalind a cup of coffee and he doesn't react when Eve throws herself at him. If he wanted Eve/Juliette, this would be the perfect time to act on those old feelings but we see clearly that Nick no longer feels that way. After the spell is broken, Nick makes a beeline past Eve/Juliette towards Adalind. He hugs her fiercely and apologies for his behaviour.

The only flashbacks to his life with Juliette were at the hospital with Nick remembereing his aunt warnning him to basically dump Juliette for her own good. He didn't listen and that eventually lead to Juliette losing her mind and her setting his mother up which lead to her death. He felt responsible for all of her bad luck. Those flashback aren't even romantic becaus after she wakes up, he questions her like he's investigating a crime and wants to know who/what attacked her. I don't think he even asked her how she felt. By the way, Adalind didn't originally know Kelly had Diana, Viktor actually deduced it when he finally let Adalind out of the dungeon. She couldn't get to Kelly so she went after Juliette. It was Juliette who brought about Kelly's doom.

After Eve goes into the mirror, Nick protectively prevents Adalind from going after her even though at that moment they believed only a hexenbiest can open the portal. He doesn't want anything to happen to her because he loves her and yes she's Kelly's mother so that a given as well. He's already told her he was worried Zerstörer would come after her since she was a hexenbiest and he'd already gone attacked Eve. Nick is super protective so him wanting to protect Eve wasn't anything soecial at this point. He's been doing it since S01.

In the mirror world, Nick assumed Eve wanted to go back to when things were simpler between them (before he became a grimm since all of her problems were cause by him becoming a grimm). He didn't imply that he wanted to go back. He thought she was unhappy and miserable as s hexenbiest after she had suffered so much while being his girlfriend. Just like in S04, Nick wanted to fix/save Eve/Juliette and she finally told him she didn't need saving, that she was content with the way her life turned out. Yes, she suffered badly but everything turned out exactly as it was supposed to be for both of them, Her as a hexenbiest  with a new purpose in life and him happy with his new family, something that was implied Nick wanted for himself since he lost his parents as a child.

Nick and Adalind are happy together at the end of the show, the writers wrote it this way. Just because it isn't what you wanted for Nick and Juliette, doesn't change the fact that he's in love with and and is happy with Adalind, even after twenty years (basically confirmed in an interview given by the writers).
