For one, Nick has killed tons of wessen, and, instead of simply telling Wu the truth, he allowed his friend to suffer alone in his emotional turmoil which almost led to insanity. And then we have Renard, who is worse than Adalind. This guy was the mastermind behind the attempted murder of Nick's aunt Marie - I don't understand why some would point the blame on Adalind. I mean, you don't need much analytical skills to determine that Renard was the one who ordered her to do it. Among other things, he also slept with both Adalind and her mom, and used Adalind's affection for him as a tool to manipulate her. Point is, all of the Grimm characters have flaws, strong points, and weak points.And this is what makes the series interesting. Otherwise, we'll get dull and bland characters like Juliette was in season 1. Nobody wants that.

I also don't think Adalind should be defined only by the terrible things she's done. Despite being a hexenbeist, there are times when she displayed traits that are very human. Oh and I don't fault her for the things she did after her baby was taken. Who the fuck really has the right to forcibly take away a baby from her mother's arms? No one. It was despicable how Nick and crew decided by themselves what to do with Diana without consulting the MOTHER who bore her. Nick's mom was too quick to agree too, even though she knew too well the pain she was about to inflict on Adalind. They got exactly what they had coming to them. Steal a child, face the mother's wrath. Bravo, but while Renard ordered her he was trying to recover the key. I would rather the key end up in his hand than hers, would not you? And yes, if you look closely at the title,, you would see that yes, it caused her pain. But that is the law of sacrifice. To do what is best for the future and not one person. Renard has always been trying to protect Nick. He said they could make history together. A better future. . Adalind showed only human qualities when she felt sorry for Nick losing his mother. Juliette did some things, but again, because Adalind did some things to her.
