Having to do stupid things to move the story the way the writers want

Warning: Spoilers
Like some other viewers, I'm not terribly fond of Juliette. It not just that she gets bossy with Nick's wesen friends and allies. She inserts herself into a wesen-related (police) situation (in fairness, Nick should have laid out ground rules, although Juliette would probably just ignore). It's difficult for me to blame her for not wanting to be kept on the sidelines, now that she knows the bigger world. But for God's sake... there's this huge secret that people have made a major effort to keep her and the rest of the world in the dark about, so what does she do? "What kind of wesen are you?" If she had half a brain, she would have sat back, watched, listened and picked up on the dynamic. But she doesn't listen, as we will see again when she blows off the advice of Nick and Rosalee in a later episode.

Now, on to more stupid stuff. I won't mention that looking at paperwork in a fight is just plain dumb... beyond mentioning that someone else has pointed it out. What's really bugging me is "off the books" or not, I can see Nick as the cop/Grimm not wanting to just shoot an unarmed man. But really, the second the Baron pulled the sword out of the cane, it would be two or three bullets to the chest, or until he was no longer a threat. Screw the swashbuckling crap. But of course, we have to have characters do stupid things... or they don't get zombified and put on planes.
