He's not remembering things and is very violent, which is sounds like the guy in Nick's diary because the guy said "the devil made me do it". Also, the guy didn't woge, but there was something in his eyes, so Juliette isn't the Ripper.

I remember an interview stating that the Grim Reaper would appear in the season finale. Remember, the diary also said "he smiled, as if death meant nothing to him." What if Renard is possessed by Death himself? When he was dead, Death maybe watched over Renard, and when he was brought back to life, Death jumped into his body so he could reek havoc. Why it took so long for Death to manifest into Renard, who knows, but it seems to be happening more frequently, or at least when Death takes over Renard it takes over him longer than it did before. Either way, Renard is in deep, deep trouble.

I read that preview in Christiantoday and I think they just scrambled what was in the press release with the promo video. The "horrific scene" in the promo that leads Nick to "go after" Juliette is the burning of the trailer. They confused that with the description of the Jack the Ripper scenario in the press release. That was a horribly written preview.

My hunch as well has been that the Captain will turn out to be the Jack the Ripper copycat. If Renard's is the "major character death" that the writers have warned us about, it would be a dramatic way for him to go out. And as you say, I think that new sneak peak solidifies that possibility, what with Renard clearly being somehow trapped being the living world and the "other side."

Juliette might force Nick to shoot Monroe or she might have him point the gun at the ceiling at the last instant or something. In an interview, Bitsie said that Juliette demonstrates to some of the other characters that "she could kill them if she wants to." I think that eventually Juliette will try to retrieve the keys for the Royals. Not sure if that what she's doing in that scene or if they've called her there to talk about the potential cure.

Bitsie tweeted about having a fling with Kenneth and, based on the new preview pics for "Headache," it looks like that might happen. Talk about strengthening an alliance!
