I don't know if Adalind necessarily built the side effect into her spell, or at least intended for that specific side effect. Her answer (along the lines of "apparently") when she was asked by Rispoli that what she did to Nick could really be undone seems to suggest that she was somewhat surprised that "de-Grimming" him could even be reversed. Remember the scene when Adalind got into Renard's car? In that conversation, Adalind said something like..."Wait, if Juliette is a hexenbiest, then that means that someone has helped Nick get his powers back." That is what I was referring to. It sounded to me like it was a part of her spell to take Nick's powers away...that the only way to reverse it included Juliette, who would become a hexenbiest as a part of that spell. As far as the convo with Rispoli...I'm sure that Adalind never dreamed that Nick could find a hexenbiest capable of reversing her spell. It probably would not have worked without The Hat and The Book, that were both in her storage unit, and I guess she never dreamed that someone would get their hands on those.
