Macabros, why the hell would Nick tell his mother ANYTHING about Juliette? Remember that, if all went according to the plan, Kelly would remain on the run and would thus never run into any of them ever again. This means that it was not likly at the time that Kelly would run into Juliette on her own. Telling her about Juliette would, at best, result in nothing other than sympathy and at worst would cause her to come back to Portland whilst there were hostiles on the proverbial doorstep. Not mention the fact that electronic communications have to be restricted to emergencies to avoid compromising Kelly's location. Nick not informing his mother was thus the right course of action.

As for the actions of Adalind and Sean, they have nothing to do with Kelly's death, as Nothing they knew could have prevented it. The death of Damerov is not relevent and Adalind only knew that Kenneth planned to inform Juliette of the pregnancy, not woo her into joining the royals. Even knowing it was Kenneth who told Juliette, it still isn't obvious that she will join the royals (just as likly that Nick would think that Kenneth just wanted to create a little chaos for him).

Juliette is unworthy of sympathy at this point, because her circumstances since becoming a Hexenbiest have been her own doing. She became a hexenbiest unwillingly yes, but everything she "lost" was a result of her throwing it away. She left Nick, her home, her job and began engaging in violent and sociopathic behaviour just for the fun of it. Not only that, but she has entered the service of the royals, which has resulted in multiple deaths (which she DEFINATLY knew about and was expecting. She is not an idiot, she just doesn't care.) She has entered the dark side not because circumstance forced her there (as one can say for Nick and Sean for their respective positions) but because she willingly walked into it. She is beyond redemption and everyone must accept it at this point.

And yes, one needs to taught morality my friend. One never learns complex morality without critical thinking, and you can only get that from a professional. Parents don't teach complex thinking; they only pass on their own beliefs and expect you to accept them as fact. People just going through life will never question, only hold onto what they know with an iron grip. I have met enough people like that to know. You don't need to know mills or Kant to have a more complex understanding of morality; you just need the ability to question.
