I didn't really trust her suddenly deciding that she wanted to bring Nick in for no apparent reason after he lost it in her office and then broke into her home and kidnapped her (why did she decide to do that? What about Nick's behavior right then made her decide, "I want this guy on my team!"?) Did she have a trap planned? Did Nick luck out that they'd been ambushed first? Or was he going to get a choice in the matter, after they explained things to him? (After all, Trubel might have freely agreed to this, after she understood what was at stake).

Thoughts? I think, yes, Chavez planned to bring Nick into their group back when she 'tested' him that time, at the police station. Revealing herself to him is taking a big risk. So I think that she was willing to take that risk in order to bring him in. I tend to think that Trubel is working with the group willingly. Trubel started displaying a willingness to jump into police-type work, back in the early part of Season 4. Maybe it's an inherent thing in Grimms, I don't know...but I think that if Chavez and Meisner had made her aware of this Uprising group, then yeah, Trubel would have felt compelled to help. How many times did we see Nick tell Trubel to hang back and not get into a situation...and Trubel would do it anyway? And I think that the turning point for Chavez, with regard to Nick, was when she saw Monroe & Rosalee woge...there was a look on her face, like she was impressed that Nick had Wesen friends. She then said something like..."So you all know that Nick is a Grimm?" And her demeanor seemed to be different after that. The show likes to fake us out on things, misdirect us, and they have let us think that Chavez was a bad guy...but I don't think so. We're now getting an idea of how cutthroat and deadly things are in the Wesen underworld...and how there are spies everywhere. So I think this explains why Chavez...and Meisner...have been so secretive and mysterious.
