I just had to comment on this:
Firstly, the comparison between Adalind and Juliette is almost irrelevant. Everything Adalind did either failed (kill Marie / Hank) or was temporarily (Juliette in coma or taking Nick’s Grimm powers). In addition, Adalind had already paid a high price for her actions: Nick took her powers, Nick's mother killed her mother and Diana was taken away from her. They were “natural enemies” and did bad things to each other. They were in a way "even". Juliette on the other hand, betrayed her friends - even if they only wanted the best for her.
Secondly, where did you get the impression that Nick "seemed to understand the reasons behind it?". Nick's interaction with Eve was characterized by his mixed feelings and absence of clear answers. Who was responsible for his mother’s death? If it was Juliette, Nick couldn’t forgive her. If it happened as a side effect from Juliette becoming Adalind, and the “hex-nerve” had taken complete control of her, then he would have to forgive her. By the way, Nick never expresses any forgiveness. He doesn’t have to deal with that directly, because Eve keeps telling him: “I’m not Juliette anymore”.

He was mad as hell that she set him up, but he also seemed to understand the reasons behind it. It would make no sense that he would be amendable to forgive Adalind for all of the evil things she's done but not Eve.
