I think that the mask is slowly turning him evil. Adam originally started wearing the mask because of the prospect of power. But, he slowly began to realize that it was gradually turning him into a Grimm, or at least become Grimm-like. He tried to take it off, but he couldn't, or he had become addicted to it's power, like drugs or achohol. So, he's been trying to regulate his power so he doesn't hurt anyone (at least, not anyone he cares about "cough"Blake"cough"). He told Blake about what has been happening, and told her to run if she felt that he was going too far. The train heist was the pushing point. When Adam showed complete disregard for the lives of the passengers, she had decided that it was time. And when Adam used Moonslice, a manifestation of large amounts of the mask's power, she knew that there was no time for her to waste. That's also why Adam just let Blake go. He trusted Blake's judgement, and might have been trying to hold back his Grimm side long enough for her to escape.
