The   whole blood-of-your-ancestors-and-strength-of-your-family thing is about Grimms and son Kelly is part of that.

Standing there, in the misty woods,  are Nick's mother, Kelly (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and his Aunt Marie (Kate Burton.)  Never mind that these two are both dead, they're here to tell Nick that Trubel is right. Zerstorer can't take the stick, and Nick musn't give it to him. He must fight, and draw on the strength of his blood, his ancestors and his family.

Kelly and Aunt Marie remind Nick that they were victorious because of the power of their ancestry. And they remind Nick to guard the staff well, because of its power. It was especially great to see these two -- examples of how "Grimm" gave us women who were more than capable of taking down monsters -- back again, teaming up to help Nick see his mission.

KOUF:   And we went full circle not only all the way back to the beginning, but 20 years into the future. We wanted to end on that book, on the Grimm book, because of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. But we also really wanted someone to tell us, “This is not a myth, a legend, or a fairy tale. This really happened.” And it seemed like the person to say that would be his son: “Because my father told me so.” And it also wrapped up the whole blood-of-your-ancestors-and-strength-of-your-family thing, as well. It seemed fun to do it that way.

Is that why you chose to focus on grown-up Kelly and Diana in the flash-forward?
