Nick's had pretty much all the support structures of his life removed. Trubel may betray Nick to Chavez to save him from himself.

Grimm don't share. Chavez would be aware of that. She'd have been aware of Marie Kessler. She'd have known about the trailer. Old Porter was only giving his stuff to Nick because Josh wasn't a Grimm. Nick gave Trubel a machete and books. To Chavez that's a pretty good indication that Nick isn't a Grimm.

If Chavez were based in Portland, she'd have more than hearsay about Nick to go on. That makes it certain she is not based in Portland and reasonably certain she's not based west of the Rockies. She's got to be based close to Washington DC, but not in it.

Back to Chavez and her taskforce. She works to stop people abusing their positions - anti-corruption in the widest interpretation of her brief. What Chavez is actually doing is stopping wesen building their own personal empires.

Josh is pursued by verrat. he needs more than Trubel's help if he's to go home and live a normal life. he'd only go back if Chavez will guarantee his safety and she can only do that if that's where she's based.

I see the wesen having an oral tradition. The group Chavez is part of may have written records but the legacy of the royals, verrat and wesenrein may still make any wesen reluctant to write down any information.

Adalind's potion was to take Nick's powers. She only took on Juliette's appearance to make the potion more potent and effective.

Elizabeth was more powerful than Adalind, equal to Adalind + sex. She took on Adalind's appearance to make the potion to restore Nick's powers. Juliette didn't need to take on Adalind's appearance to make the potion work better or have sex with Nick. Ergo the potion had nothing to do with Juliette's being a hexenbiest. Elizabeth had to know what a restore powers potion would do to Juliette.

Adalind's statement to Renard in the car could have been investigated further. Renard said nothing when Adalind told Nick she didn't know it was going to do that to Juliette. Just another reason not to trust Renard. Or Adalind for that matter.
