It's as though he assumed she was just waiting for this great opportunity to help herself to his bod while Juliette was out. Duh.
Juliette doesn't fair any better in this episode. She seems to be focused on Nick having sex with Adalind, and "well did Nick really, really, really, really know it was Adalind he was forking and he's just not telling me? Okay, I'm going to be sick".
I have to admit you now have me wondering what Nick thought Adalind was doing there. He didn't think he would lose his powers so what did he think her motivation and intent was at the time? I suppose he hadn't registered it back then because of the shock and Juliette letting him have it in the car.
That whole situation wasn't really handled deftly. Nick was more disturbed at how Juliette was reacting rather than what Adalind did to him. She said she would be sick but I didn't get the impression Nick felt that way.
As for Juliette, it did seem like she was disgusted by what Adalind did but she was also sort of semi-accusatory of Nick. That's just the vibe she was giving off. The season 4 premiere went further when she asked Nick if he really, I mean really really, didn't know it was her. It was also weird when she told Monroe and Rosalee that Nick slept with Adalind without giving any context. It was the only time I saw Rosalee about to get legitimately upset with Nick.
I think there's a part of Juliette that's just pissed at Nick for not realizing it wasn't her. She's not going through an involved rationalization of the matter. It may not be entirely fair to Nick, but we don't always act in the most logical manner, when we're hurting. Nick is mostly bewildered by the whole mess, and, like most guys, probably just hoping to avoid the conflict.
