I am still waiting for you or anyone else for that matter to show me how a potion designed to restore NIck's Grimm powers plus his inner zombie and acute hearing could create a hexenbiest. I'd like to know the answer to that too...because all I can do is speculate on it. That is something that only the show creators can answer. They had the main characters refer to it as a "side effect", but that seems like an understatement since turning a human into a hexenbiest is as major as restoring Nick's powers. And then there was that thing that Adalind said in Renard's car, in Bad Luck..."If this happened to Juliette, that means someone helped Nick become a Grimm again". That was a curious thing for her to say. That made it sound like the hexenbiest transformation was sort of a step that had to happen in order for Nick to be re-Grimmed. At any rate, that made it sound like more than just an accidental side effect of the spell to restore Nick's powers.

Back to Chavez...I re-watched all the scenes with Chavez in them, and we were never told where she was 'based' out of. I thought she was probably based in Portland, because she got to Nick's house so quickly to investigate the death of Weston Steward. She was there the same day. But she may have already been in Portland to recruit Nick. After that scene where Chavez woged in front of Nick in the interrogation room, she was on the phone outside as she was leaving the station and said... "I just saw Burkhardt. He's not the Grimm. ...I'm sure, I woged right in front of him. I think I know who the Grimm is. I'm gonna make sure." Then later in the warehouse, Chavez said..."So you're the Grimm". So it's like her mission was 'To Find The Grimm in Portland', because twice she used the phrase "The Grimm", as though she had heard that there was one there in town, perhaps Burkhardt, and she had set out to confirm it.

As to whether Chavez has learned that Nick is now a Grimm again... Maybe Josh let it slip in conversation? I agree that it is likely that Chavez caught up to Trubel and Josh somewhere. Her guys were watching Trubel, so they could very well have followed them when they left Portland. It doesn't seem like Trubel would tell Chavez about Nick...not without a really good reason. But if Josh let it slip, or maybe was tricked into confirming it, then Trubel probably wouldn't lie about it to Chavez after that.

I keep remembering that Trubel first went to the Trailer, when she came back to Portland. There has to be a reason why they showed us this. Maybe she and the Chavez crew had encountered some type of Wesen that they didn't know anything about? And Trubel remembered seeing something about it one of those books in the Trailer...and so she went there first on her way into town, to read more about it? I don't know, of course, just speculating here. But it does stand to reason that this "Group" that Chavez works for, would have a data base on all the different types of Wesen, don't you think?
