Thought I would "pop in."
You commented:
1.Was Adalind really in danger? 2. It seems then that Nick, as a grimm, would have most certainly sensed that and immediately called for emergency backup. 3. He did no such thing and refused help when it was offered.
1. Yes, mortal danger from a deranged homicidal maniac.
Hi New Guy-
In reference to point number 1. I'm not for one minute saying Adalind didn't feel threatened. But I still pose the question, was she really in mortal danger? I'll continue.
Adalind was not by herself when Juliette walked into the precinct. Nick was with her. I think it's reasonable to say Adalind trusted Nick's judgment at that point. So while Adalind was under threat, there was *no indicator* that Nick felt threatened by Juliette.
Nick stood in Juliette's way so she couldn't get to Adalind, but Nick didn't for a minute act as though Adalind was in mortal danger. In point of fact, he had no problem with Adalind hiding behind him the whole time. If she was in such mortal danger, Nick could have held off Juliette and told Adalind to immediately hotfoot it to Renard's office. He did not. So again, was she in mortal danger? It didn't seem like it.

3. Wu witnessed much of the confrontation. He trusted Nick's judgement. And in the end the attacker (Juliette) left.
I agree. Wu trusted Nick's judgment. But Wu is also a seasoned cop. Don't you think he'd also trust his eyes and ears and sense if Nick was in some kind of mortal danger? Instead he asks if there's a problem and Nick tells him there's not (and I am paraphrasing here).
Wu stays out of the confrontation.

4. So was Nick a moron who gambled with Adalind and future baby? 4. No, Nick was not a Moron. He handled the potentially violent situation well. No one was injured or killed.
You made a key statement here, New Guy. You said, "He (Nick) handled the potentially violent situation well.
If this was a *potentially violent* situation, then there was no mortal danger, correct?

5. Juliette came in and threatened "I should've finished you off" to kill Adalind. I repeat, handled the potentially violent situation well.
G&K created Grimm with Nick as the titular hero. In the above scene, IMO they did a decent job with Nick the hero and Juliette the evil villain.
But again, you're perception is that this was a potentially violent situation. Nick did not appear to view it as a deadly situation.
We all know how Nick views deadly situations. First, he has Hank with him for backup. Second, he has his gun. If a wesen threatens Nick, he pulls out his gun and kills the wesen.
He didn't draw his gun in the precinct, which tells me that as a seasoned cop, he didn't consider the situation as one of mortal danger.
In the spice shop, when Juliette showed how powerful she was, Nick drew his gun. I don't agree with the whole set up of that scene, and in my opinion, neither Nick or Hank had any business in the spice shop that day. However, the scene shows a situation that could turn deadly and Nick's reaction. He never did that in the precinct.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
