We don't know for sure...yet...if this baby that Adalind is carrying is Nick's baby. The writers are pointing us in that direction, for now. This is confusing to me, because of something that Elizabeth said when she was doing the finishing steps in making the potion...the potion to make Nick a Grimm again. Elizabeth said to Rosalee: "Ferula Tingitana" -- Then Rosalee walks over with a vial -- Elizabeth then said: "One drop less than last time." -- Rosalee drops some liquid into the kettle of potion -- This was back in Episode 206, 'Highway of Tears'. What is confusing to me about this...is that Ferula Tingitana is an herb that has been used for centuries by women, to cause miscarriages. It is an abortifacient. Why would the writers even mention it, specifically, if they didn't want us to notice it? They could have just made up a name of an herb for an ingredient. But no...they used this one. I remember thinking at the time, that 'Oh, she is using this one to prevent a pregnancy happening during this spell'. If Elizabeth used this herb in recreating the potion that Adalind used...then that means that Adalind used the same herb, Ferula Tingitana, in the original potion too. So this has been bugging me.
