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.

Ugh Sean bugs me so much now… it just seems like a 1000% degree turn…

There are about a dozen moments in which I would have forgiven Sean if he had just stepped the fuck up.

But I feel like the last one has well and truly passed for me. And that was that moment with Nick at the end of the finale. For like half a second I thought Sean had finally, finally stepped up and done what he should have done all along: protected the people he cared about.

I would have forgiven him for siding with Black Claw. I might have even forgiven him for killing Meisner, if he had just chosen in that moment to save Nick.

But no. It wasn’t Sean. It was Diana, punishing the man who hurt her mother (while Sean stood by and watched). Diana, protecting her family. Diana, a child, doing what a grown-ass adult wouldn’t do for reasons no child should ever have to understand.

I don’t think I can forgive him after this.

So is Juliette back now? DID THE MAGIC STICK REMOVE HER HEXENBEIST-INESS? I mean I love Juliette but Eve is a bamf in her own right.

It’s not really clear at this point! I mean, if I had to guess I’d say the stick removed her hexen powers and restored all the emotions stripped away from her by HW’s “training.” But we saw so little of her that I’m almost afraid to guess!

At any rate, I think it’s clear that Juliette is definitely back, and I cannot wait to see what the writers have in store for us next year!

When they kill off your favourite character on one of your favourite shows, is it still one of your favourite shows?

RIP, Martin Meisner, kingslayer, hexenbabyrescuer, wesenasskicker and all-around good guy.

You will be missed so much, you gorgeous brave unstoppable tattooed man.
