At some point Juliette will realize that she's not just the person she's always been but with newfound powers but rather that her new powers are changing who she is emotionally in fundamental and unexpected ways. I do expect a reconciliation between Nick and Juliette at some point, although what form it will take I don't know. In any case, like I've said before, I don't expect it to happen before the end of this season. @Lurkenfrau I think there will be plenty of action to tide us over in the meantime. I feel that the drop from the top of the roller coaster is about to begin. :-) Let's hope that Juliette will spend some time with Pilar...whom she has listened to in the past. Or even Henrietta, who could counsel her on how to handle her new powers. I think it was Renard who used the phrase "who you will become" as though it is within the power of the wesen-person to determine what they will become...through their own actions, as though it is some sort of fast-acting karma. And I hope you are right about the 'action' in the upcoming episodes. There are so many dangling story-arcs that I would like to see updated. Like the Keys, who is Chavez working for, the 100K bounty on Nick, where is Kelly & baby Diana...and will we see Elizabeth, Renard's mother, again? I'm hoping the writers will throw us some crumbs on these soon. Juliette didn't really spend any time with Elizabeth when she was in town...there was really no reason for her to at that point. But there is now. Elizabeth seemed like a generous and giving type of Hexenbiest...and very unlike Adalind and her mother. I think that Elizabeth would be a good influence on Juliette, and help her to control these new powers that she has now. Couldn't agree more with your comment about Elizabeth. I think that she would make the perfect mentor for Juliette. Not only is she very powerful - as evidenced by her "stopping time" in that scene where she saves Sean - but, of all the Hexenbiests we've met so far, she seems to be the most level headed and the least self-centered. Henrietta is a possibliity as well but, it's hard to get a read on her at this point. The writers haven't dropped any hints though as to when Elizabeth might be coming back. We do know that Kelly will make an appearance sometime before the end of the season and I'm still hoping that when she does, we'll learn that Elizabeth has found her and that they have jointed forces. Guess that kinda depends in part though on getting everything worked out with the actresses.

In their comments last summer, the writers said that the last key would be found this season and that the treasure that the keys lead to would be revealed in Season 5. They made those comments before they knew there would be a Season 5 though, so getting the early renewal might allow them to let some stuff slide a bit. I think they might have also made a comment about there being another Grimm but, I don't remember for sure.

I'm also anxious for more development of the plot line involving the Council's bounty on Nick. It could be that the Council is being influenced by the Royals, as others have suggested. Or it could be just the ultra-conversative faction of the Council exerting their influence. They could be riled at Nick for doing things like interfering in the execution of the Grausen, or even annoyed at him for his dealings with the Wessenrein. Rosalee did mention that there were members of the Council who were sympathetic to the blood purity fanatics. in any case, the bounty on Nick is way too big of a story for the writers to just let it drop. There is often a long time lag on this show between when an idea is introduced and when it is taken up again so, I'm not too worried. Just antsy.
