Nadalind is probably the most accidentally red-stringed fictional couple Iâve ever seen. Way before they were intended to become love interests, the narrative kept connecting and intertwining them (starting with the very first episode):Â
Nick was the first Grimm she ever saw, and Adalindâs was the first woge he ever saw
Adalind was ordered to kill Nickâs Aunt Marie (1x01)
Nick had to protect her during a murder investigation (1x03)
Adalind was ordered to date and use Nickâs friend and partner Hankâs life as leverage for one of the Keys â
Adalind was forced to consume Nickâs bloodâin a physically intimate way (1x17) â
She put his girlfriend in a magical coma (1x22)
Nickâs mother, Kelly, âkilledâ Adalindâs mother in a fight (really, Catherine just lost that fight) (2x02)
Adalind was protected by and slightly bonded withâunbeknown to both at the timeâNickâs mother
Kellyâs time with Adalind and her daughter, Diana, triggered her last memory with young NickÂ
Kelly, still unaware of their history, brought Adalind and Diana to Nickâs house (3x17) ->
âMaybe itâs not a coincidence that you brought Adalind and her baby back here to Nick. [...] Carl Jung, synchronicity [the epâs title]. When two or more events arenât necessarily causally related but are connected through meaning.â (Juliette)
Kelly let Diana keep her locket with young Nickâs picture (3x18)Â
Nickâs mom temporarily raised Adalindâs daughter
Nick and Adalind each depowered the other/took each otherâs supernatural identity away, temporarily (1x17, 3x22) ->
and both for sympathetic reasons related to the otherâNick, to save Hank from Adalindâs spell; Adalind, to get her daughter back from the Royals, who Nick and the others let her believe Diana was with
Adalind was able to do so because of having Nickâs blood in her system from when he did so
Bonus: Nickâs Aunt Marie had been in a relationship with a Wesen, before she ended it to raise Nick. So the idea and recent precedent of romance between Grimm and Wesen(-related beings) had already been canonized, and with Nickâs own relative.
