But something bugged me about this. It's Diana's statement, "we've got wesen to kill". That just doesn't seem to mesh with a loving environment, in my opinion.I think Adalind’s interpretation of a loving environment is much like her interpretation of a normal environment. For these characters in their fictional Grimm setting, killing Wesen didn’t contradict normal or loving. Their concept of loving and normal is never going to align with unaware humans’ concept of loving and normal. Juliette wanted to be an active participant in Nick’s Grimm duties, but I doubt she urged him to take her to crime scenes or allow her to participate in murder investigations. And while Nick allowed her into his Grimm work, I don’t think he gave her access to police investigations.
What was normal when they were human flew out the window when Nick became a Grimm. Adalind has no direct experience with human normalcy, so what she formed with Nick is the most normal and loving that she’s actually experienced.
So while I get why Adalind would prefer to stay with Nick, I never understood why Juliette wasn’t compelled to distance herself from Nick’s bizarre world - at least initially.
I think what she found more than a loving environment was a stable environment. As long as the stability was there, she was fine with the kids turning into executioners.
