Did Nick ever apologize for stealing Adalind's baby?


To me what they did is far worse than anything she may have done to them, yet I seen Adalind apologize to all of them a million times but I don't remember any of them saying "im sorry too".

Maybe I don't remember it right, but my question is did Nick or any of the gang ever apologize to Adalind for kidnapping her daughter ?

reply

I'll never understand why Nick is always solely to blame for what happened. It was Renard's--the father--decision. Nick just helped him with it because it was the only thing that they could think to do that would keep everyone safe.

I felt bad for Adalind (I'm not always impressed with the acting on this show, but Claire Coffee was fabulous in this episode), but not so bad that I can forget that it was her and her selfish and stupid decisions that put everyone--including her daughter--in such a dangerous situation.

The powers that were forced from her? Nick just couldn't take her to jail, right?

reply

Yeah, because she would've allowed him to just take her to jail. Then there's also the fact that Hank's life was still hanging in the balance because of her.

reply

Nick isn't perfect, but he did not wake up that morning and think, hmmmm, how can I take Adelind's powers away from her....let me see. It was a culmination of events, with, as pointed out, Hank's life hanging in the balance. Adelind set the spell in motion, knowing full well that the only way to stop it, other than handing over the key and she gives an antidote, was for her to lose her power.

But it's never Adelind's fault, and she would be the first to tell you that! Nick was just supposed to be manipulated into giving her the key his dead aunt told him to guard with his life. Easy peasy.

reply

Oh ,please. Adalind has be the sole blame of everything since day one and no one ever faults Nick and Renard for anything.

reply

Renard has definitely created some problems for himself, the last being this whole mayoral race and siding with Black Claw. And Nick has definitely done stupid stuff. But, Renard takes responsibility and Nick is just adrift, going where the wind takes him instead of having a spine and taking charge. But Adelind.....she's the only one who blames everyone else around her for *her* decisions and actions. It's such a weak woman trope, and I dislike *that* much more than I dislike Adelind

My memory is fuzzy. When did Adalind blame everyone else for her decisions and actions?

reply

Let's see....it was Nick's fault that she lost her powers. It was everyone else's fault that she reneged on her contract to sell her baby, and it was everyone's fault that the Royals knew about the baby and were willing to kill Renard and his mother to get her, it was probably Nick's fault that she had to pretend to be Juliette, have sex with him to take away his powers and get pregnant by him.

Adelind often started poorly thought out plans that went awry, and the consequences were *never* her fault.

But that is such a misogynistic trope; the oh, woe is me, I didn't do anything, the wronged female character. It is to gag on....

People say they love Adelind because she was a strong villain, but really she was just Lucy Ricardo, trying to connive her way out of this and that and none of her plans ever worked.

Nick did take her powers.
Who wouldn't go back on such a ridiculous contract?
The royals pretty much blackmailed her into doing to Nick what he did to her by leading her to believe they had her baby.

Just stating obvious things isn't enlightening.

It also doesn't contradict that Adelind kept coming up with these involved plans to do something, just to have everything go awry. Like that's never been done before...oh, wait, never mind, been done and done.

Being a tosser isn't enlightening either.

I was merely explaining some of her actions, she had motivations for doing what she did and she is now making up for it!

Sorry, I can see how my response looked really snarky, but mostly I just didn't get what you were saying. It does seem like it's all been said and done. I'm not sure if the rehashing means we are excited and looking forward to the final season,,or that we are, in some ways, done with it all. I'm beginning to feel a bit done.

Still, I didn't mean to be rude. Can I blame the weather?

No, David. No one is happy in a poodle skirt and a sweater set.

Nick apologize? Of course not.

That decision was ultimately Renard's; they would not have been able to do it without his cooperation. Kelly was the one person he knew would never let his family or anyone else have Diana. They wouldn't have gotten her without Juliette's help. Her loyalties were to Nick and Diana, no one else, including Adalind and Renard. Her devotion to Diana is the main reason Kelly's death didn't sit right with me. Supposedly she was caught off guard, but Kelly believed Nick was in danger so she would never have let her guard down. Juliette told her the house was safe but that could have changed in the time it took Kelly to get there and she would know that, especially since she had no idea that Juliette had become a very powerful Hexenbiest. Still, the Diana factor is the main problem; she considered Kelly her mother. I don't believe she would have allowed anyone to kill her mom in the next room. She was a toddler but she was powerful enough to stop anything like that. The head could have been faked and Meisner told Nick they found the rest of her body and buried her, but he could have been lying.

As far as Diana goes now, Black Claw and the Royals are all fools if they think they have any control over that child. What happens now is what she allows to happen; even her parents are afraid of her.

Adalind has done some evil things but the moment she became a parent she changed..what caused her to betray nick was the fact she thought the royals had her baby and she was only doing that so she can be with her daughter..she even mentioned to the royal what she did to nick she did cuz she had to she did not enjoy it.
And yes Adalind apologizes a number of time for her previous actions..but she did not get a single apology from anyone else for taking her baby..to lose a child is a parents worst fear..imo what they did to her is far worse than anything she did.
