User blog:Suzanne Beryl/How Do We Know When Juliette is Awake?

Juliette is obviously still? under a spell.? Actually I think she's under 2 different ones.

1. Adelind's cat scratch made her forget Nick. When she remembers Nick we will know she's woken up.

2. Renard's kiss put her under the obsession spell. When she's no longer obsessed with him she's woken up.

What makes her wake up? In the Grimm Sleeping Beauty story it's not the Prince's kiss that does it. The prince rapes her in her sleep. She gives birth to twins. One of babies suck's her finger, removing the piece of flax in her wound from the spindle.

So does Juliette wake up after she gives birth? Adelind keeps asking about her cat. Do we need that to reverse the cat scratch? And that should only restore Juliette's memories of Nick. Which means she'll remember she love him, remember he thinks he's a Grimm but also be stuck at that moment in the rain when she thought he was crazy. Does she decide to go back to Nick or leave him?

The obsession spell is harder to figure out. Does it end when Juliette awakens when she suckles her kids? That's not part of the spindle prick/cat scratch scenario. Or does Renard have to break the spell by being cured of the obession himself?

Does Renard want to? break the obsession spell still? That's why he went to the Spice Shop. But then he didn't want Nick to find out. If Nick already knows does he still have motivation to end the affair with Juliette now? Well since in sleeping beauty the prince marries beauty I guess it won't be until Renard married Juliette. Which would devastate Nick because of that whole ring symbol thing.

But a wedding would bring Renard's mother to town. And she'll see that Renard is under a spell, and the spell was to make him "pure of heart". Does that impede his ability to be an effective villian now? Maybe his mom ends the spell to bring back his old evil self. And in so doing frees Juliette from the spell too.

Any ideas?
