Nick's issue is that his Grimm abilities are still being developed. It wasn't until his aunt was nearly dead that any of them were passed on.

Yea, he is just now "embracing" his Grimm'ness. We see him entering in his first journal entry about creatures recently and figuring he needs to train a bit more which we just saw this episode.
From the wiki (which I will use spoiler tags on just in case) which explains some of the Grimms "powers" including good natural combat skills:

While not generally thought of as a Wesen species, Grimms share a bloodline trait separating them from normal humans. Grimms are essentially humans capable of seeing creatures' true Wesen nature. Most Wesen consider Grimms to be mythical boogeymen, as only one member of a specific family can see them at any given time. A member of the next generation receives the gift as the last approaches their deathbed or is murdered. It is a long-standing tradition that Grimms document and hunt Wesen who attack the general population. Grimms seem to possess in-born fighting abilities and are good at profiling people. They traditionally kill Wesen by decapitating them, and keep journals recording their encounters with Wesen for future Grimms to learn from. Although the protagonist Nick Burkhardt has been informed that Grimms only hunt "the bad ones" of the supernatural world, many of the creatures he encounters are instinctively afraid of him even if he has no reason to attack them. A regular Blutbad character (Monroe) once stated that Nick is not like other Grimms, suggesting that Grimms have acquired an excessively negative reputation over the years. Grimms can withstand the power of the Coins of Zakynthos, which makes ordinary humans and Wesen become overconfident, power-hungry and obsessive. They have been guardians of the Coins for many generations. It has been suggested that if a Wesen ingests the blood of a Grimm, it will strip them of their powers and abilities, essentially turning the Wesen into an ordinary human.

Perhaps their explanation was supposed to be that Lucinda used it to break Spencer out from outside the building, but they could probably determine where the sound waves had come from based on the direction the glass shattered. If Nick wanted to portray Spencer and Lucinda as accomplices, he failed to explain why they killed each other, and if Spencer was supposed to be a victim, he failed to explain why Lucinda broke him out of the precinct. This episode probably had the most plot holes, or at least general lack of clarity, of all the episodes thus far.
How long does NBC make you wait before airing the latest episode on their website?
