So there's an unintended conflict within the narrative. And that scene comes across as though Juliette's giving Nick a free pass to cheat and he readily went along with it. I think that was a wrong narrative decision by the writers or direction if they wanted me to believe that Nick didn't ever think of Adalind with lust, a simple blindfold would gone a long way towards keeping Adalind "out" from between Nick and Juliette in an already weird, awkward (sexual kink?) scene.
More analysis of your ideas to interject into the character. instead of what actually happened.
This is what actually happened before he beds Juliette as Adalind
Juliette turns off the light]
Nick: Yeah, that'll help. I hope. Maybe if I just close my eyes.
Juliette: No. We're not doing it that way.
Nick: Really?
Juliette: [She begins unbuttoning Nick's shirt] You love me, Nick. What you see isn't me. But you know it is. [She takes Nick's shirt off]
Nick: Yeah, that helps.
Juliette: [She takes off her shirt] This is your one and only chance to have an affair with my blessing. You may as well enjoy it. Because it's still me. And I can only see you. And I'm gonna have at it.
Nick: [He chuckles] Well, if you put it that way.
[Juliette chuckles, and they begin making out]
This conversation show a very competent woman and in charge of the whole situation. When she states "but I can only see you but I am going to have at it".
What does she mean by it? Has she been holding back when having sex with Nick the whole time she been with him? Is she going to release the Juliette her college friend talked about? Hey is you can interject? So can I!
Nick wants his Grimm back but is hesitant and reacting nervous about the whole situation. Juliette is very confident and in charge!
