In the promo for season 3, Nick? is? shown in? the precinct telling Hank the Captain has been playing him for a long time, and Hank is following him out. So since that would suggest it's about royal business.? I think? Nick certainly has access to enough clues by the start of season 3 to figure out Renard's the royal.

1. Rosalee had Catherine Schades recipe for "spirit elsewhere".? Rosalee knows what it does and she's coming back to town in opening of season 3.

2. Catherine Schade told Kelly Burkardt only a royal can save Juliette. So we know who took the potion.

3. Renard told Monroe he's been obsessed since he kissed "her."? And? Monroe now knows the? her is Juliette.

So by opening of season 3? Nick with the help of Rosalee and Monroe should be able to piece together who the royal is. And Nick could always run the idea past Adelind for confirmation.

Of course Juliette doesn't know Nick's a Grimm and Renard is? royal so she's not going to see it as Grimm business. She's going to? assume it's jealousy over her. And if she shots Nick, as the promo suggests happens? it's going to be to protect Renard.
