Why did Adalind have to "drink her mother?" Grimm's storylines seems to taken from the real events of a historical princess instead of a fairytale this time. Maybe this is from some biographical work that hasn't been quoted yet but the drinking her mother is too close to what 19 year old Marie Louise had to do in 1810, around the time of the Grimm Brothers.

The Hapsburg princess Marie Louise was forced to marry the most hated monster in European royal circles, Napoleon Bonaparte. The French had executed the last French queen they had, Marie Louise's own aunt, why would she feel safe becoming the next Empress?

Like Adalind and Nick, Napoleon and the teen age Marie Louise were enemies but had a baby in common that they both wanted to protect. If Grimm is following some biography of the Napoleon-Josephine-Marie Louise triangle with Nick-Juliette-Adalind then the future is not too bright for Nick's son.
