Me either, friend, me. either. Not only that, I don’t feel the writers have earned this redemption arc they’re trying to push through for her, much less a romance between her and one of the people she’s hurt most…if such a thing could ever be earned at all without sending a hugely toxic message, which it can’t.
That being said, clearly Nick/Adalind is not the only game in town. I mean first off, Nick and Eve are SO protective of each other. The only time Eve showed any emotion last season was around Nick, toward Nick, and in response to the possibility of someone threatening Nick. In the finale last year she basically kicked in doors and fucked shit up from one end of town to the other in order to rescue him, and he in turn rescued her.
(Spoilers for the premiere below the cut)
And he freaks out beyond all proportion when she looks the least bit in distress in this episode. And I mean…Nick is not a super emotional person by any stretch. He’s not single-man-tear macho, but he’s not naturally effusive, either. He doesn’t gasp or exclaim or any number of yummy verbs. He generally puts emotions he finds difficult aside for a later that never arrives.
But when Eve makes a sound of distress and nearly collapses? He yells her name like she’s not right there two feet away and dives to catch her. And the way they look at each other…the way his voice goes all…I don’t even know what…when he asks her how she feels now…
I could write a novel about the ways in which that submarine is rising from the watery depths, but. I think you get the idea, yes?
