But if the younger one is his son, he couldn't have inherited the Grimm-gene. Otherwise Nick wouldn't be the sucessor, would he?

I dont think it works that way - I dont remember exactly what Aunt Maria said before she died - but wasn't it along the lines of the successor takes over on the other Grimm's death bed? So this son would only be beginning to see or won't until the old man dies. But then Mummy Grimm showed up; so not sure how that ties in/ plus the Kessler girls are sisters (both Grimms). I would think that it would be to do with, that are different Grimm lines (7 keys, each held by 7 Grimm families). They havn't informed us of the Grimm rank system of yet. As more Grimm show up; Nick is the successor of HIS family line and then his child (if they have one)... I may be wrong well... Marie said sthg along that line, but then again, Maries and Kellys Dad was the Grimm and he taught his Girls according to Kelly. Whatever Marie said, it was the Pilot and we probably shouldn't get stuck with that thought too much.

So, girls just to need get into puperty, but boys get their strenght when their predecessor dies... wonderfull... down with thine head >.<

Argh... and now I'm getting Highlander thoughts in my head, beheading and the "Erneuerung" (sorry, don't know the english term for this lightning-power-transfer-thing)...

btt I guess, talking genetic, the Grimm Gene is positioned on the X-Chromosome (Nick stated in the last Epi that the Grimm Gene is recessive).

Without a proper trigger guys can't gain their strength it seems. But if the old man was sure, his son would inherit his powers after his death, why would he give everything to Nick in the first place? And Nick started seeing Wesen days before Maries death, right after she came to town...

Well, tonight we'll hopefully get the answers to at least some of our questions XD
