Adalind by way of Sean is painted as the bad guy. It seems people forget Nick is a Grimm by deffinition that make him the bad guy. Every wesen he meets expects to lose their head. So wesen formulating attacks against a Grimm should not make them the bad guy. Adalind has only be doing what she feels is needed to defeat the enemy. By association Juliette is also the enemy. I war you do not have bystanders. You have collaterial damage. In any war a certain amount of collaterial damage is expected and is acceptable. In war to eliminate Nick and his associates on sight would be perfectly acceptable. That is the action of Grimms. Even in the books it is writen even when past Grimm have discovered a wesen actions a benign they still eliminated them for good measure. You ca not use the argument that this is the actions of the past. Mari was such a Grimm according to Monroe. A number of his family died at the hands of Mari. Because NIck may not follow that path. From a wesen point of view Nick is a Grimm and removing your head is what they do. So anything you do to a Grimm is justified.

I see this as one of Nicks biggest problems he can not adjust to he is at war and is the enemy thus making Juliette the enemy. Nick is so in denial he refuses to even pick sides. And this is where I see the conflict between Nick and Juliette. Before Juliette was collateral. Now she is a soilder. She is no longer one of the villigers.

You view it in these terms Adalind would recieve commindations. Her actions have introduced so much chaos in the enemy ranks. Nick spends so much time fighting battles (WOW) that I am not even sure he even has his eye on the war (Human vs Wesen by way of the Royals). People keep forgetting the Royals purpose to to protect mankind from the wesen. The problem is the Royal want dictatorial control.

Even Kelly undrstands the war an the need to be wesen's enimies. Kelly if a freedom fighter,. fighting agains the Royals because they do not advocate freedom. I think Kelly has done Nick a real big injustice by not sitting him down when she got back and explain what is going on. Nick is still under the impression he is fighting good against evil. Problem without context he can't define good and evil. As pointed out in "Trial by Fire". Like he said if I knew then what I know now I would have handled it different.

Adalind problem is she is a soilder of fortune, hiring out to the highest bidder. She can not be trusted to follow orders. So her alies become her enemies. I see this as being Juliette problem. She has not signed up to be a soilder. She as like Nick does not see the big picture. Now being wesen see is going to start to see the issues are not as black and white as she was lead to believe. Remember she only knows wesen as domesticated. There are many that still hang onto the old ways. Who believe what I am is who I am. The believe they have the right, the duty to live as they where intended. "Bears will be bears" "One Night Stand". What happens when Juliette deciedes to embrace being a hexenbiest only to find out she can be killed for what she can do. Not for what she has done. But strictly because of here abilities. Unlike society where are men are considered equal. In the wesen community that is not physically so.

From what we have learned over the past few episodes. we see hexenbiest are at the top of the food chain. We also see hexenbiest are a goup unto themselves. Not fitting in with wesen or humans. They are feared by Royals and Grimms. Because of their ability they are able to maintain their individuallity through isolation. They are also able to interact with all factions without fear, because the have the ability to control. This points can been seen in how Catherine, Eliziabeth, Frau pech, and Henrietta are all powerfull independent individuals. Adalind is just an inmature child who if she does not wise up will get herself killed. And not by her eneimies, but by those who find her actions a threat to their well being. Even her own mother threw her out becuase she is such a lose cannon. So out of control she lost her powers. There was not reason for Nick to have taken her powers like that. ADalind is a hexenbiest to be deafeted by a Grimm and inexperinced Grimm at that. The fight between Catherine and Kelly was not a fight to the death. They were only fighting for control. Like Kelly side I did not kill her she impaled herself on the glass.

I also see Juliette feeling Nick lied to her about Diana. Juliette is under the impression that Diana needed to be with Kelly for Diana protection. Juliette felt that Adalind could not protect her. But that was before Juliette learned what a hexenbiest is and what they can  do. Even as a viewer we had the same point of view. We  are four seasons in an now we are seeing. Hexenbiest are no joke. They are surely someone you don't want to piss of. As I stated earlier they are at the top of the food chain feared by all, now I see why. All other wesen have some appendage that gives them their power or abilities. Hexenbiest are the only ones that are all times, they are a weapon locked and loaded. They can kill from a distance. The number of attackers doesn't determine the outcome. Like anything there are strong and weak hexenbiest. weak ones without a doubt will lose. But hexenbiest like Henrietta and I would imaging Elizabeth you walk the other way. Did you notice Henrietta, Nick was trying to mad dog her. Use his Grimm intimadation, I bet he won't try that again. Henrietta put a fear in Nick he has never seen. Even Frau Pech, look what Stafania had to do, ambush her.

Knowing what I know now Kelly was not the best person to watch Diana. Elizabeth would have been a better bet. Even Adalind would have been better with some help. If Adalind had of truly want t okeep Daina and not use her as a tool. Like she did to get her powers back. As we see even Adalind as weak as she is can control viktor. But because Sean is only half zauberbiest and does not seem to have all of the power and ability of other hexenbiest he gave in to the threats. Plus he was not sure what  Adalind game plain is. After their talk in the car I think Sean will change his position. I have a feeling that Juliette will also get on board. She may not completely side with Adalind. She will never truly forgive her. But she will try to help her only to get double crossed. It is Juliette willing to see Adalinds side that will have Juliette as Nick enemy. Nick will always want to take his mothers side.

Bottom line I would like to see Adalnd and Juliette work together. They could learn a lot from each other. Adalind could learn what it means to have a friend. Learn that everything is not about getting your way. Juliette could learn how to hone her witchy tricks. She could also learn how to survive and not be so gullible. As a hexenbiest Juliette will be a target. As a super powerful hexenbiest. there will be people that will either be jealous of her power. Want to steal her powers. or Just be afriad of her powers.
