[Elizabeth is reading the spell book.] Elizabeth: "This doesn't make sense." [Rosalee & Monroe are walking into the room.] Rosalee: "What doesn't make sense?" Elizabeth: "How Adalind did this... For this to have worked, Adalind would've had to have lost her powers at some point." Monroe: "Uh...yeah, she did." Elizabeth: "Then, that would explain the Grimm's blood at work here." Rosalee: "Actually...Nick's blood, that's how she lost her powers." Elizabeth: "Even so, she would've had to undergo the Contaminatio Ritualis while she was pregnant." [Elizabeth hesitates, then draws a deep breath.] Elizabeth: "With my grandchild...which makes the child even more valuable than I'd imagined. ...I should've given Adalind more credit. This...is going to take much longer than I thought." [Then, they are startled by a brick, breaking the front window.]

Hope this helps. :) So both of Elizabeths lines in this seen were part of the same statement, "For this to have worked Adalind would have had to lose her powers at some point."  --> "Even so, she would've had to undergo the contaminatio rituale while she was pregant." In order for the potion to work, not in order to perform the ritual.
