Colouring out the grey is what men do. I wouldn't go as far as saying Renard joined the good guys. He may have wanted a partnership with Nick, but that was complicated by the fact that he's Nick's boss and a royal.

Yes, Aunt Maris told Nick to leave Juliette and Kelly told him not to leave those he loved. Both points of view are valid based on the experiences of each.

We've introduced to 4 other Grimm - Marie, Kelly, Porter Sr and Trubel. We've been told Uncle George isn't a Grimm and shown that Josh isn't. Of those only Trubel is still alive - it's grimm being a Grimm. Kelly told Nick that after his escapade with the reaper heads, 2 or 3 Grimm were killed in Europe. Kelly's clearly got a network going on to hear things like that.

I took Marie's statment to mean there aren't many Grimm, but I know who they all are. Mari could have told Nick many things, but didn't and I think kelly told her not to say anything about her still being alive.

I think the major arc of Nick's life was mapped from the outset. They knew Kelly was still alive or Marie would have told Nick a great deal more and that Kelly would die in battle with the royals. Nick crossing paths with Adalind and Juliette's transformation into a worse enemy than Adalind. Nick's child with Adalind conceived from the get go.
