I really love that scene in the hotel room in “Beeware.” Nick’’s profiling skills are on full display again. He knows what Adalind is. He knows she’s the one who tried to kill Marie. But he’s profiling her, in this entire scene. Trying to get her to admit it, or, in the absence of that, to drop her facade and show him her true face. It’s a very guns-on-the-table scene and I love it.

Good lord, but they really piled the makeup onto Claire in the first season. She has like…hot pink lipstick, bright blush, a solid couple millimeters of black eyeliner all the way around the eye, dark eyeshadow, very plucked and shaped eyebrows.

It’s interesting because even though it’s a lot of makeup it creates a very young look, like someone who’s trying to look older and more imposing than they are. Which actually kinda fits with her character in a weird way.

It’s clearer every time I watch that there were cracks forming in Nick and Juliette’s relationship as early as episode 3. Maybe even episode 1. The implication is that he’s always been very present and open, and now suddenly he’s gone all the time and closed-off. It’s a real testament to Bitsie as an actress too because a lot of it is conveyed almost entirely via facial expressions and body language, rather than actual dialogue.
