Kelly wanted to have control of Diana and her powers. Nick and Renard wanted to protect themselves and the people they care about. Why exactly would Adalind be expected to make concessions for their benefit?
Adalind didn’t want to return to Portland, Kelly dragged her there while she kicked and screamed her objections. Adalind didn’t do anything while in Portland other than escape from her enemies and keep her baby with her.
The only person Adalind jeopardized in S5 was herself, not just for her children’s safety but for Nick’s also. Had Nick put as much effort into keeping his family safe as he did his stick, BC might not have been able to get Diana or Adalind and Kelly. He received two pieces of information in time to at least attempt prevention and chose not to.
I get that Nick assumed in S3 that Adalind was the same as before she gave birth. But considering that their decision to kidnap Diana led to S4’s death and devastation and the Royals got Diana anyway, and Nick did most of the lying and deceiving in S5, I’m confused as to why Adalind is the untrustworthy one.
I'm unclear where the part came in where Kelly was dragging Adalind to Portland. I thought they were just running for their lives and to save the two of them. The only complaint I saw come from Adalind was when she said she deserved a little conversation with Kelly! So, I don't get what you said there.
Adalind's reputation is that of a very loose cannon. Nick is a Grimm, not a magician - he can't be in two places at once. Again, I blame the writers! Talk about confusion and plot holes.
Nobody could have stopped the Royals from doing something dastardly no matter who they had to hire. As Adalid said to Nick while in custody about the Verrat: "There's more where they came from."
"You have you to complete, and there is no deal."
