I never understood the concept of Juliette wanting to be hands-on involved, and Nick letting her. I get doing research and reading the Grimm books for a better understanding of the responsibilities and dangers of Nick’s new lifestyle.
What Nick did is what a lot of R/L cops do, keep work bottled up to "protect" their mates from what they do. It almost never goes well.
To me, Adalind’s attitude about Nick’s duties as a detective and a Grimm makes more sense. I can’t conceive a wife, girlfriend, mother, whoever, getting directly involved. If Nick was an undercover narcotics cop, would Juliette have insisted on going undercover with him, would he have let her? Is it the thrill of danger and the unknown that drew Juliette to be actively involved in Nick's Grimm life?
