As hot schade posted yesterday, Nick's heart rate under stress is not at all normal, but does that mean he can endure much increased physical activity without exhibiting the strain, or that he has the heart rate of a normal person who is dying? Imo, it's both, with an emphasis on the latter. He stills seems a little undead. As Juliette says, they will have to see if this condition lessens with time. But he does seem to be the Grimm equivalent of a cyborg and that's fascinating.
When I looked at the episode a second time, I thought that Adalind looked very frightened in every scene. She doesn't need a brick wall to fall on her head to know her life is in danger now, from more than one direction - enter the cousin, maybe. Renard's a man who will do what is necessary, but he doesn't come over as an evil person to me. Both men are in a partnership of shared self-interest - Nick's is a desire to frustrate the families' attempts to get his key and to get the protection of the Captain against threats against his life - and we know what Renard's is. They don't have to be drinking buddies. It's an alliance of convenience now, but I'd like it to develop into a mutual trust.
