Renard would'be made sure of it. He's the main reason Marie was targeted for death and he really didn't need to rely on Adalind.
Adalind was more than just a cog.
I was thinking about the differences in how the two women approached the task they were given. When Renard told Adalind he wanted Marie dead, Adalind bought into the plan immediately. She devised the method of death and posed as a nurse to administer the injection. Even when she failed and Renard told her again that Marie needed to die, Adalind bought in once again, immediately, no hesitation, and wanted to know how she was supposed to kill Marie when her hospital room was guarded. She was interested and wanted to participate.

Kelly wouldn't have been found and lured back to Portland, let alone brutally murdered, if it weren't for Juliette. It wasn't even like she was threatened to do these things. She willingly lured Kelly back and gave out information about her neighbors. Juliette also knew an ambush was about to take place. She is largely responsible for everything that happened afterwards. The neighbors wouldn't have been killed if Kelly were not lured back to town. None of this could've happened without Juliette doing this of her own free will.
There's a few odd things about this betrayal that stick in my mind. We know at this stage of the series that Juliette is sullen, angry and has no issue with throwing someone on their ass if she doesn't like them or perceives them as a threat. We know that Juliette told Nick she was "in hell" just prior to hooking up with Kenneth.
I don't see a complete and total buy in from Juliette. Kenneth told her flat out that he was not underestimating her and so he was keeping her in sight until this thing was through. That doesn't bother Juliette a bit. She could care less. I have a feeling that if Adalind were there, she'd be angry, figuring she earned the right to be trusted. She'd want to know.
I'm not saying she didn't assist Kenneth, she did. Kenneth asks a question, she answers it. She sends and email and talks to Kelly on the phone, but doesn't care for a face to face. She listens to the commotion, but remains upstairs.
All that's been discussed is "what Juliette knows". What if she told Kenneth she'd help, and then added, "but I don't want to know"?
I have a feeling that would be perfectly fine with Kenneth.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
