About Hank, it's going to be interesting to see how the writers handle that. On one hand, it seems unrealistic for Hank to have been clueless about Nick's extra curricular activities all this time, especially since they always conveniently overlap with the police cases they work together. However, one wouldn't automatically jump to "my partner has a secret double life as a genetically super human killer of animal- like creatures who appear human... and hey, now that I think about it, my ex girlfriend must've been an evil, scheming witch monster too." The most realistic scenario would be for him to realize something is definitely going on with Nick, but just not know what exactly... which is exactly what the writers finally did in episode 2 of this season. It appears this will be expanded upon in episode 3 and Hank might be told the truth. The problem with this is, I'd hate to see the show evolve into a cliche partner's fighting these things together kind of show, or like a superhero and his sidekick. If Hank needs to finally find out, for his own sanity and also because he's finally wised up and is realizing something is up with Nick, I'd hope the writers have him take a role in Nick's Grimm matters similar to Renard... not directly involved, just helps cover for Nick when necessary. Nick already has Monroe as his "sidekick" and somehow with Monroe it has added to the show, not been cliche. Also, Hank's character doesn't seem like he'd handle it too well based on what we've seen so are we going to get a season of Hank freak outs every week? Are they going to make him the Shaggy to Nick's Fred?
