We cannot know what the writers may have wanted to convey regarding the thought process of the characters in the precinct scene.
Another possibility is that deranged Hexenette looked around, saw the number of armed cops and decided that attacking a pregnant woman would draw a hailstorm of 9 mm bullets aimed at her. Nick would be thinking the same. She wanted to attack and kill Adalind and the baby, but decided not to die. Regardless, Nick knew she was a grave threat and would have helped his fellow officers gun her down if she had attacked.

Hi New Guy-
I don't agree with the assessment that Nick knew Juliette was a grave threat and would have helped his fellow officers gun her down if she had attacked. The reason I don't agree is because the decision of whether or not Juliette was a deadly threat rested with one person, and that was Nick. He would have had to have been the one to alert his fellow officers, but he did not. Instead he simply talked to her.
And as I said before, even Adalind stood around. It seems that if she was that frightened she would have fled from the scene.

Then we have Hank draw his gun and get attacked & disarmed. And by that point Nick draws his gun. He's by no means holding it while he's offering the potion to Juliette. And he's saying "Just take it, please." (Not "I'm going to shoot you if you don't drink this.")
I think Juliette's just playing with them. She's obviously not there to even consider taking the potion. (She and Kenneth have been busy planning who of her neighbors needs to die for the lure for Kelly to work when Nick called.) And she seems a little disappointed that they were smart enough to take Adalind to safety before she arrived. But if she'd wanted one of them dead she could've made Nick turn on Rosalee after Hank pushed Monroe to safety. (No not a scenario I fancy, Rosalee's my favorite character. But she's still too shocked to duck for cover after the shot at Monroe, and Monroe and Hank are both out of reach to protect her by that point.) Instead she takes off, thanking them for doing the "heavy lifting" by getting Adalind to try the potion.
My question to all of this is why did Nick want Juliette to drink the potion in the first place?
He obviously wasn't interested in Juliette as a potential mate and there was no longer any love between them.
So why did he want Juliette to take the potion? For that matter, why did the scoobies want her to take the potion?
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
