Are Nick and Adalind Stiller together?

It’s a bit difficult to say, but on balance I’d say…for all intents and purposes, no.

It’s not as if we got a traditional “break-up” scene, but Adalind did leave him and doesn’t appear to have any plans to return to him any time soon. Add to that the fact that they’re both pretty wrapped up in surviving their respective situations, and somehow I think their relationship status is probably so far down their priority ladder that it’s fallen off the bottom rung.

If or when they actually have the time and space to revisit that question again, a lot of things will have changed. Juliette is back, and it’s clear from Nick’s behavior toward her that he hasn’t moved past his feelings for her, as tangled and convoluted as they may be by what happened last season. And Adalind now has a daughter who’s shown something of a volatile streak towards people who aren’t either of her parents trying to date either of her parents. 

Granted, she didn’t seem to have a problem with Nick toward the end of that episode (and may have even acted to save him and not just to punish Conrad for hurting Adalind). But still…that might change if she were to see Adalind and Nick together, especially if the first thing Nick does in season six is go all decapitare on her dad.

So basically, it’s complicated. But for the moment? No, they’re not.

Everyone is saying that Nick is angry about Adalind but I saw it that he was angry about losing his son and that is why he reacted the way he has. What do you think?

I think he was angry and hurt about both, but that his focus is on getting his son back right now, because Kelly is the most vulnerable party here (at least until he shows some sign of powers of his own).

I also think that while Nick grew to have an attachment to Adalind, he wasn’t in love with her and he isn’t going to feel that loss as hard as he’s feeling the loss of his son right now. He doesn’t blame her, he knows she truly felt she had no choice…but that isn’t going to stop him from doing whatever he has to do to get his son back, either, even if that puts her at risk.

After this ep, I have a feeling Diana is going to kill both her parents’ love interests. But before she can hurt Nick, Adalind intervenes and ends up dying instead. That way she can die a good person, and Nick Juliette and Kelly can be a happy family.

I’m….not sure that’s how that will work, Anon. For one thing, Nick and Juliette still have a lot they need to sort through, and I think it’s pretty clear after this episode that some part of Eve/Juliette feels betrayed by Nick and the team’s continued compassion, support, and understanding for Adalind when they couldn’t offer any of those things to her when she desperately needed them.

For another, I feel like having Adalind die to save Nick would be just as cheap a cop-out way to redeem her character as all this romance and domestic mess they’ve tried to do all year.

Granted, that doesn’t mean they won’t do it. *sigh*
