Synchronicity

"" is the seventeenth episode of Season 3 of Grimm and the sixty-first episode overall. It first aired on April 4, 2014 on NBC.

Synopsis
Nick and Hank are in the precinct discussing what Nick should do regarding Nick being Monroe's best man. Nick decides he needs to just go tell Monroe that it's too dangerous for him to be the best man. Hank tells Nick that is probably also about time he found out how Wesen know he's a Grimm.

In Rafz, Switzerland, Adalind, her daughter, and Meisner arrive near the meeting place to get Adalind and the baby out of Europe. Meisner says he is going to look around to make sure that it's safe and tells Adalind to stay in the car. Meisner goes into a forested area and Verrat agents watch him from a distance. Two agents who are told to take Meisner out lose track of him. As they search around, Meisner jumps down from a tree and fights them. While Meisner is fighting, Adalind sees a plane flying low go by. As she is looking at the plane, two Verrat agents open the car door, guns drawn, and tell Adalind to get out. Meisner defeats the Verrat agents fairly easily and sees the plane fly over, so he heads back to the car to get Adalind and the baby. When he arrives to the car, he finds Adalind's door open and her and the baby gone. Adalind is brought to the Verrat agents' van and told to get in. Before she does, one of the kidnappers notices the driver and passenger dead. When she turns around, the other kidnapper falls dead to the ground. The agent points her gun at Adalind, but before she does anything, her arm is grabbed from behind and she is stabbed in the back by a hooded figure. Meisner comes running up and when he sees the bodies he asks Adalind if she killed them. She shakes her head and from the other side of the van, the hooded figure comes out and takes off their hood. It's Kelly Burkhardt who takes credit for the dead Verrat agents.

A short time later, Kelly, Adalind, and Meisner walk through a snowy field to where the plane is. Kelly comments about whoever set up the meeting did a lousy job since the Verrat knew about it. Adalind and Meisner say their goodbyes. Adalind tells him that "if it hadn't been for you I would have been dead a long time ago" and kisses him on the cheek, and gets on the plane. Once the plane takes off, Meisner calls Captain Renard to tell him about what just happened. Renard asks Meisner if he has heard from Sebastien. Meisner tells Renard that Sebastien stayed behind to make things right and that he is probably dead. Renard tells Meisner that it is probably best that he disappears for awhile and Meisner agrees.

On the plane, Kelly goes through the supplies left for them. She finds food, water, R$2,000, and diapers for the baby. Adalind comments about Kelly being American and asks her if she is working with the Resistance. Kelly says the less they know about each other the better, but Adalind gets slightly worked up and says after what she has been through lately, she doesn't think a little conversation is too much to ask for. Kelly tells her she should probably change the baby's diaper and stands up to talk to the pilot to ask where in Brazil they are going. The pilot says he's not supposed to tell her that, but Kelly says since the Verrat were at the meeting place, they probably know where to go in Brazil so they need to find a different place to go. The pilot tells Kelly if she has a place in mind, now is the time to say so.

Monroe and Rosalee are at home working on wedding things when Nick arrives. Nick tells Monroe he can't be his best man because it's too dangerous because he is a Grimm. Monroe and Rosalee both say they would be super disappointed if he wasn't at their wedding. Monroe suddenly gets an idea that Nick wears sunglasses because his eyes are what gives away the fact he is a Grimm to Wesen when they woge. Monroe explains that a Grimm's eye color turns to an infinite darkness that reflects a Wesen's true nature back at them. Monroe asks Nick if he has sunglasses with him and he says yes. Nick puts them on and Monroe and Rosalee both woge, and look to see if they hide his eyes. They excitedly agree that they do work.

Back on the plane, the pilot asks Kelly if she is sure about the location she suggested and she confirms it. Kelly goes to sit back down and Adalind's daughter is crying. Kelly tells Adalind that the altitude is building pressure in her ears, so she tells Adalind to rub just below the baby's ears to help her feel better.

Nick and Juliette are discussing whether sunglasses will actually work at the wedding. Juliette asks what he would do if the wedding is at night or if the sunglasses fall off his face. As Nick puts away some clothes, he finds the engagement ring he got for Juliette. Juliette sees it and tells him that when the time is right they know where to find it.

At Kronenberg Castle, Viktor sits in his office as Gregor Danilov comes in. Viktor speaks his displeasure with Danilov over the fact that Adalind and her daughter got out of the country and Meisner disappeared despite the fact that they had intercepted communications from Resistance agents that gave plenty of time to disrupt their plans. He tells Danilov his services are no longer required by the Royal Family and two Hundjäger come into the office and kill Danilov.

Adalind thanks Kelly for saving her and her baby's lives. Kelly tells Adalind that her life was probably the only one saved because the Royal Families want the baby too badly to kill her. Kelly tells Adalind she should try to get some sleep and Adalind reluctantly hands her daughter to Kelly. Kelly hums to the baby and pulls out her locket. The baby's eyes turn purple and she telekinetically holds the locket in mid air and disrupts the instruments of the plane. The locket pops open and Kelly looks at the picture of a young Nick inside.

Back at the castle, Viktor names Marcus Ruspoli as the new head of the Verrat now that Danilov is dead. Viktor tells Marcus that it is his job to find Adalind and her daughter. He says he is placing every resource they have to assist him and tells him to do whatever he has to, to find them. Viktor tells him that Danilov failed the Royal Family and Marcus says he won't.

While holding the baby, Kelly flashes back to the night that Marie came to pick Nick up. She helps a young Nick finish packing his things and answers the door. Kelly hugs Marie and quietly says she doesn't think this is a good idea, but Marie says they don't have time to come up with a better one. Kelly says goodbye and tells Nick she and his father love him. Nick leaves with Marie as as a teary eyed Kelly watches them pull away.

The pilot walks up to Kelly to tell her he found some old airfields on the computer, but he doesn't know their condition or if they are being used. Adalind wakes up and Kelly tells her they are about to land and hands her the baby. Near one of the fields, a farmer watches the plane fly low above him. He gets into his truck and follows it. By the time he gets to the field, the plane is taking off and he sees Adalind holding her baby. Adalind asks him for a ride and says they need his help, but the farmer says he is going to call the police. As he walks back to his truck, Adalind notices the truck's license plate is from Oregon. Before the farmer can dial, Kelly kicks him in the face, knocking him out. Kelly and Adalind get into the farmer's truck and drive away.

At a bridal shop, Juliette is looking at dresses and holding them up to herself while looking in a mirror until Rosalee comes out of the fitting room in her Grandmother's wedding dress. Juliette and the saleswoman both tell her it looks good on her.

Adalind notices a sign saying they are 12 miles from Portland and assumes Kelly is working with Sean, but she says she doesn't know who he is. Adalind tells her he is the one who set everything up to get her out of Europe. Kelly tells her that nobody set anything up, but her.

Viktor is staring at his fireplace when Marcus comes to him with information about the plane. He tells Viktor that it was tracked going west and contact was lost somewhere over Manitoba. Marcus pulls out a tablet and says the plane was flying extremely low, staying out of controlled air space. Viktor asks why no one stopped them and Marcus says the influence of the Resistance has spread farther than they thought. Marcus shows Viktor a map on the tablet and says they are checking everywhere west of Manitoba from Alaska to Mexico. Viktor looks at the map and tells Marcus that maybe Adalind wanted to go home and clicks on Portland on the map.

Kelly and Adalind arrive at their location in a downpour. Kelly grabs a coat from the back of the truck and guides Adalind and the baby. In their home, Juliette tells Nick dinner is ready as he is in their room putting the engagement ring in his pocket. He comes downstairs and before he can propose again, there is a knock at the door. Nick goes to answer it and is surprised to see his mom. Kelly comes in with Adalind still covered and Juliette meets Kelly for the first time. When Adalind uncovers herself, she is shocked to see she is in Nick and Juliette's house. Juliette starts to lunge toward her, but Nick holds her back.
