Rubelie: "Or maybe they wanted to show that Nick's characteristic head strong behaviour and him rushing towards scene of crime since its kind of an emergency."

Well, yes, I guess that's what we are supposed to think. But I don't see it as a strong behaviour, I see it as a stupidity (after consulting my dictionary: thoughtlessness). In the earlier episodes Nick read the books to find out knowledge and methods to defeat dangerous wessens; now he acted like any uniformed cop.

Dragonfighter1: "I don't think Nick and co expected The Baron to be at the container yard, so, no reason for protective measures."

Maybe, but there's always reason to think. If Nick saw a tiger on a street, should he throw himself on it with his bare hands just because he didn't expected it, wasn't prepared and the tiger was dangerous for innocent citizens?

"As for shooting The Baron that would be totally out of character for Nick, as his favoured method of arrest is to knock the perpertrator unconscious and then arrest them."

Yes, that's Nick's favoured method of arrest. But he wasn't there as a cop, right? He was there as a Grimm. The one who cuts off his foes' heads :) No more Mr. Nice Guy, remember?
