The show provided a basis for a generic Grimm/Hexenbiest deadly hostility with entries in the Grimm books. The show also presented from the very beginning that Nick was not a generic Grimm. Adalind’s spell on Hank prevented Nick from killing her at that specific time, it didn’t prevent him from killing her later. Nick never pursued killing Adalind or Catherine. He wasn’t compelled to kill Elizabeth or Henrietta simply because they were Hexenbiest. There wasn’t anything about Nick’s behavior toward Hexenbiest to suggest his instinctual response would be to kill the woman he love simply because she’d become a Hexenbiest after risking her life to help him become a Grimm again.
I get that you take issue with Nick pointing a gun at Juliette when she woged. But the character didn’t express anger over Nick’s reaction, rather, understood his assumption and provided personal details that only she would know. Juliette’s momentary fear was that Nick might shoot before realizing his mistake, not that he would shoot despite knowing it was her or that violence was Nick’s automatic response to the unknown. Juliette was angry that Nick left then slept on the sofa when he returned instead of sharing a bed with her. Had the gun incident been a pivotal turning point for Juliette, she would have left while Nick was gone, not waited for him to return so they could continue talking.
What other kind of reaction could Juliette have had, other than to reason why Nick? He had the gun in his hand and she wasn't a powerful enough hexenbiest to rip it from him. She couldn't disappear and end up safely out of his reach.
I know what you are saying here, but it still all comes down to one thing. None of this would have happened had Juliette not been a hexenbiest. She knows that. So I believe her when she said she was scared and afraid Nick would kill her.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
