“You’ve seen my brother?” said Renard, “All of him” came back Adalind. “You wanna arrest them or what?” asked Monroe, “Or what” replied Nick, brandishing a weapon from his bountiful collection. The script fizzed with life where so often Grimm’s dialogue falls flat. Oh, but there was so much more fun besides. Watching a well-dressed, pun-happy, über-evil but not-at-her-usual-powers petite blonde slink about on the search for a key was like tripping happily back to Buffy’s fifth season. Her reappearance in Portland this week was so enjoyable to watch, it makes her season regular status real cause for celebration. Adalind cockily strutted around the city flanked by leather-wearing Hench-Wesen while her plan to roundly mess up Nick and Renard’s lives unfurled. I bet she’d happily tell you her mother’s maiden name and pin number if only you had the front to ask…įront is certainly not something Claire Coffee’s Adalind lacks (particularly in that cleavage-y number she wore on Hank’s doorstep). In another mind-bendingly incurious display, she happily served up answers to Adalind’s suspiciously keen line of questioning about her ex-boyfriend’s dead aunt’s trailer with nary a fluttered eyelash nor a quizzical stare. Juliette’s still not the sharpest tool in Nick’s cupboard of threateningly sharp-looking tools (check out his studded baseball bat this week – very on trend). Before The Season of the Hexenbiest, Juliette’s obsession had manifested in little more than her putting on the slightly uncomfortable face of a woman in the ‘pre’ shot of a digestion-easing yoghurt ad every time Renard was around. The idea of her character being potentially driven mad by the obsession spell (a neat one-two punch delivered by Adalind’s Nick-erasing coma) was a great one, if only the preceding episodes had staged it like that. You could tell the episode was above-par because Juliette’s predicament was written in a way that suddenly made sense.

The mid-season finale picked up where Kouf and Greenwalt’s exciting series opening two-parter left off, and made the intervening episodes feel like what many of them were: filler.

The spell ended only when she left the house, Elizabeth may never have thought about Adalind's presence in the house contaminating the spell that she concocted to give Nick back his Grimm.When the words “To Be Continued…” flashed up at the end of the episode, joined shortly by “Sorry”, it was a message of confidence, warmth, and humour to Grimm’s fans. Once she reached the house, she changed to Juliette, slept with Nick, and then changed back to herself once she exited the house. Is it possible that the "contamination" Elizabeth was worried about occurred anyway, at Nick and Juliette's house? Adalind concocted the spell in the storage shed, but that was only the beginning. Elizabeth never gives an explanation, so what would constitute "contamination" and how does it impact the spell?

This is an interesting post and if you ever come back, GrimmsterJ, I have a question. The implication is that Elizabeth had to find a place which was "Uncontaminated" by Adalind's incompetence. Juliette turning into a powerful Hexenbiest is just one example in an almost endless list of "How Adalind's witching backfired on her".įor example - why did Elizabeth need a place "Uncontaminated" by "another" Hexenbiest? Eve didn't. Adalind's witching always caused weird unintended consequences that backfired on her and resulted in a bunch of undesired, chaotic mayhem. Maybe that is the reason? Or there is something else? What do you wrote: The other implication voiced by both Elizabeth and her own mother is that Adalind was NOT good at "Witching". I remember when Monroe got kidnapped, when Juliette asked Rosalee about an ordinary person becoming an hexenbiest, she said that it is possible and generally they become even more powerful than natural/born/inherited hexenbiests. If it is another 'version' of Adalind's hexenbiest then why it is so powerful? Shouldn't Juliette have the same power as Adalind? Unless hexenbiests can be made out of nothing. When Juliette passed through that spell to turn into Adalind to get Nick's powers back, if the hexenbiest 'spirit' was indeed from Adalind, shouldn't Adalind lose her powers to Juliette? Since she didn't, we can just assume that is another hexenbiest and where that hexenbiest came from? I can't really make sense of this. Then, she passed through the Contaminatio Ritualis and then got another hexenbiest 'spirit'. That said, Adalind was not an hexenbiest anymore.

think with me: Nick made Adalind's powers go away. Since she turned into Adalind using the reverse spell she did to turn into Juliette, it is easy to assume that was the reason.īUT. I know many people believes that the hexenbiest 'spirit' got into Juliette through Adalind.
