Keeping with character continuity, Adalind wouldn’t care that Kelly might die. But Adalind was only worried about herself and the baby at that point. So Kelly’s impending death was basically out of site, out of mind. I doubt Adalind would have helped Juliette if the Hexenbiest hadn’t made her a direct threat.
Hoping to get Diana back, Adalind probably let things progress so that Kelly would come to Portland. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with Adalind doing whatever was necessary to get her kidnapped child back and protect her unborn baby. Kelly’s not dead because Juliette, Adalind, or anyone else betrayed her. Kelly is dead because she stole the powerful baby with Royal blood then was stupid enough to waltz into a dark house with the child.
I don’t see why Adalind needed to help the people who stole her child to establish that she’s capable of being good. Prior to retrofitting the character into a ‘bad girl saved by the love of a good man’ scenario for S5, the show established that Adalind wanted to be a better person and a good mother in S3. Nick didn’t jumpstart Adalind’s progression toward being a good person. He and Kelly interrupted the progression that had already begun in Europe. If we’re looking at what should have been, Kelly completing her mission might have made a world of difference in all their lives.
Adalind and Diana might have remained safe and happy. Nick might not have lost his Grimm. Adalind & Nick might not have a child. Juliette might not be a Hexenbiest. And Kelly might not be dead. So maybe Juliette should have thought things through before saddling up with the Royals, and maybe Adalind should have disclosed everything she knew about Kenneth’s plan, and maybe, Nick and Kelly shouldn’t have stolen someone’s child then blamed it on someone else.
There are so many wrong choices there's hardly room for any right choices. *grin*
