Regarding the person (or thing) in the cell, I've seen the following theories, and here are my takes:

1. '''Juliette. '''This seems the obvious possibility, especially given the, "we're playing with fire... we need fire" comments... but is it too obvious? I don't know. And I don't know how I'd feel about that. If it is, then what happened is probably that Trubel drugged her rather than killed her, with a drug that made it seem like she died. On the one hand, if that's the case, it would hopefully fix all the unresolved emotional questions that we're still left with after last season (namely, "Juliette, WHY?"). OTOH, for Nick to go through grieving her only to have her turn up alive seems gimmicky and soap-opera-ish. The mature thing for the show to do is to have deaths be permanent.

2. '''Diana. '''This would also make sense with the "fire" comments. She sounded older than 5, though, at least a teenager. Perhaps she went through another growth spurt, though, which actually would go a long way to account for the absolutely wild nature of her screams. If I got locked in a dark room and then started going through puberty at the age of one and a half years, I'd be screaming at the world too. Regarding Meisner locking her up... last night, I had trouble reconciling Meisner being involved with Chavez's group, for the simple reason that they seem totally and completely unrelated to the Resistance against the Royals. But now I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a sign that Meisner isn't what he seems. He certainly seems to have his hands in a lot of pies.

3. Some random Wesen that we don't know. Certainly a possibility. Can't really comment more on that, of course, because of the whole, "...that we don't know" aspect. :)

4. Some member of the uprising. That doesn't really make sense to me, given the "fire" comments. I mean, that's the only context that we're given, and it certainly makes it seem like whoever's in that cell is being kept there as a potential weapon.

5. Trubel. This doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, she was working with Chavez, if the phone call last season was any indication. She didn't give Chavez away to Bud, and in the course of just a few sentences, she told Chavez where she was, and kind of told her what she was doing, and named Nick, Bud, Monroe, and Rosalee. I don't think she would have done that if they hadn't been working together, and if they were working together, why would Chavez lock her up like that? It seems counterproductive.
