So Meisner then knew that there was a Grimm in Portland, but not who it was.

In the early part of Season 4, Chavez was trying to find out who "The Grimm" was...so someone had told her there was a Grimm in Portland.

It could have been Meisner who told her.

Some people have thought that Chavez's mysterious group could be affiliated with the Wesen Council...

But the Wesen Council had known that Nick was a Grimm for quite a while before that, so it seems like they would have told her if they were working together.

All of that is definitely possible. Although my take on why Chavez wanted to find "the Grimm" was that she'd found an obvious Grimm journal in Nick's house, while investigating a guy who'd gotten his head chopped off there with a machete, and came to the natural conclusion that somebody in Nick's house was a Grimm. She just didn't know if it was Nick or Trubel (apparently Juliette never occurred to her). That's possible...but when Chavez was leaving the police station, she was talking to someone on her phone, after she had 'tested' Nick. The way that she said "He's not the Grimm" made me think that he was her first suspect, even though he wasn't the one who had chopped off Weston Stuart's head...he wasn't home for that. So I had always wondered why she suspected Nick first. But seeing Meisner with Chavez, it seemed likely that he had told her what Renard said about having a Grimm...and since Nick worked under Renard, that seemed to be the missing piece of the puzzle. Katerine459 also wrote: Regarding the Council: One of the few things we've actually seen of the Council is that they're a bureaucracy. Employees aren't typically told everything in bureaucracies. So it is possible that she's affiliated with the Council, if only because their purposes for existance seem to overlap so much. But it's probably more likely that she's part of a group that feels that the Council doesn't do its job well enough, or doesn't prioritize human life enough, so they see themselves as picking up the slack. Yeah, we never see the Wesen Council taking prisoners. They seem to have one solution for everything...Death. But I think that if Chavez were linked to the Council, she would have access to their Bounty Notices...and as I said above, I think that large Bounty on Nick had the word 'Grimm' under his picture.
