You are missing the point. Both of these are examples of premeditated. cold-blooded murders - not something you'd expect from a "straight-up dude".

Your moral views are completely reprehensible, but atleast you are not a sexist.

First problem - these guys still have to work within the system as far as possible. They can't just take in 4 kids - kids responsible for kidnapping and manslaughter (possible felony murder) - and just raise them in secret.

"Plus, look at Adalind. Would I be upset if she bamboozeled me into
sleeping with her? A little, yes, but I wouldn't exactly call it rape."

She never actually apologized - what she actually did was offer excuses. "I didn't know it was gonna happen". "You all act as if it was all my fault, but I did what I did because…". "Fine, blame me if it makes you feel better". "Oh and I'm well aware of your role in stealing my baby, so…"

Using magic doesn't make it any less fraudulent and it doesn't make the ensuing act any less rape.

I agree, it wouldn't be like Nick to go vindictive. But I'm not buying the whole living together, co-parenting thing either.

Yeah, right! She expects nothing from him - except for him to protect her and her baby. And not take her to court to fight for sole custody. And for Nick's friends to help her with the baby stuff and lend her a sympathetic ear.

Its not an assumption. Based on everything she has done, they shouldn't have been welcoming at all - more like chilly courtesy. The kind of attitude that makes it clear that while we are here for our friend, we definitely don't like you. There should also be a lot more back-talk - "Are we sure we want Adalind living…

What of all the things that require you to have a home address?

The problem with relapse is that it implies Adalind is basically a changed person. And I'm not sure she is. For most of the bad things Adalind did, she was following someone else's orders - she tried to kill Marie and poisoned Hank because Renard told her to, she had Hank beat up on Eric's orders and she raped Nick…

Except, right now everyone is acting as if her past and her heinousness is already behind her.

But becoming a non-hexenbiest is the choice that needs explanation here.

Truth be told - I was initially extremely wary of the reformed monster trope Monroe was bringing to the table. As for Renard, I really didn't expect Nick to have him join the team and I was pretty disappointed when he did. But Monroe has been helping Nick with practically every case and Nick doesn't really know about…

Okay - which begs the question, how did she suddenly arrive at this conclusion? Because she had been a mother before and she showed no interest in giving up her powers at that time. Nor for a great duration of her second pregnancy.

Okay, I know fans love Meisner, but he was never a straight-up dude. He is part of a covert resistance conspiracy - lies, deception and extreme violence go with the job. Are you forgetting that he killed Eric Renard with a car bomb?

I'd say kidnapping a girl with a gang of armed men is not a good thing - no matter what the reason - and so as a person associated with such a group, there is no way Meisner is coming out looking good.

Actually, there is plenty that she could do to symbolize her atonement - showing remorse for her actions for starters. As for the rest of the group, Renard was never hostile towards her to begin with, Rosalee was warm and friendly, Monroe has been cordial and never said a word against her and neither have Hank and Wu.

"We saw what being a Hexenbiest does to you when it happened to Juliette."

You can if willingness was procured by fraud.
