Kenneth’s only alteration once learning she was a Hexenbiest was to make Juliette an ally instead of a victim. Adalind might have initially believed Juliette wouldn’t betray Nick, but that was before their precinct confrontation. Considering the hostility between Nick & Juliette at the precinct and later learning Juliette wanted to remain a Hexenbiest, it should have been a quick conclusion for Adalind that Juliette might have already told Kenneth how to find Kelly and Diana.
Again, I don’t blame Adalind for not sharing information that might allow Kelly to keep Diana hidden. But in rethinking the situation, Nick not assuming Diana was the only reason the Royals or Adalind would return to Portland makes him rather daft. At the very least, had he informed his mother of what was happening in Portland, she probably wouldn’t have returned to Portland with Diana, and certainly wouldn’t have waltzed into a dark house with her.

No wonder the King replaced him with Kenneth. It sounds like Viktor and Adalind going to Portland in search of Diana was akin to the adventures of dumb and dumber.
I agree with you on the dumb and dumber part. Adalind was sent by Viktor to grab Juliette as a hostage trade off for Diana or her whereabouts info, from Nick. That plan backfired when Adalind walks into another, more powerful Hex, Juliette. That plan failed.
The King replaced Viktor and his failed plan with Kenneth. Kenneth has no set plan. He is hoping to turn Juliette to his favor and see what info she could provide on Diana by turning her against Nick. Even Kenneth was shocked to see how far Juliette would go after she returns to Ken's hotel room. Adalind was long gone. Remember, Ken offering Juliette, Adalind's former bedroom.
This is when Ken and Juliette set out to get a message out to momma Kelly and hope to get a location of Diana whereabouts. Adalind was completely out of the picture to have an inkling on what Juliette was about to do.
Juliette went to bun down the trailer to guarantee, Nick was out of the house she had moved out so she could send the fatal email to Kelly. When Juliette comes back to the hotel even Ken was surprised on what she did with the trailer. As I recall, he looked at her ash stained hand and asked. Burning bridges are we? or something like that. This is when Juliette tells Ken, momma Kelly was coming back to Portland. After that was confirmed, they went on and plan to home invasion of Nick's neighbors which also shocked the Verat henchmen of her extent she would betray the Burkhardts.
Ken and Juliette were hoping for info on Diana but they hit a home run when their plan actually got Kelly to come back to help her son. You wanna debate all you want if this was their original plan or not.
There is no debate of the extent of the plan to Adalind knowledge base, since it was concocted way past the precinct scene or her Hotel scene with Ken. At this point,Adalind is hiding out at Bud's house or Monroe's, I forgot. What I did not forget is that Adalind had no clue on their plans that evolved for her to inform Nick of what was coming.
