This new phase in Nick & Adalind's relationship could prompt additional shifts in the show with tons of interesting possibilities. We've seen previously that Adalind received an invite to apply at her old law firm, and ask for more money. Let's face it...she's not exactly the domestic type. But how does she break it to Nick? I imagine she makes a candlelit dinner, breaks open a bottle of wine...

Adalind: I got a call today... It was my old law firm again. They need part time consultants. The money is good...and I really need to get out of the house.

Nick: You know I'm supportive of whatever you want. But who would we trust to watch Kelly?

Adalind: I don't think there's anyone more qualified to defend our child than a Grimm.

Nick: (laughs into his food) What, you want to ask Trubel to be a nanny?!

Adalind looks at him intently. He realizes she's serious.

Nick: Me?! What, interrogate suspects with Kelly on my back? Or...leave the precinct?

Adalind: You could be a Private Investigator. Make your own hours. Besides, you went rogue a long time ago.

Nick: Yeah, and that was even before Rennard...knew... (thinks about what he now knows about Rennard) Actually...maybe that's not a bad idea.

Adalind: (getting excited) Lawyers work with PIs all the time. It could be fun! I could watch Kelly while you collect the evidence, and you could watch him while I put people away! Or get them out...

Nick: (thoughtful pause, warmly) This is not at ALL how I would have imagined getting here...but in some ways, this...familiy...it's what I've always wanted.

Adalind sighs with relief. They both start eating again, smiling. Pan out to the table.

Adalind (looking at her food while taking a bite): Oh, and by the way (zoom back in)...my Hexenbiest powers are back.

Pan to Nick, frozen in disbelief, fork halfway up with mouth gaping... and SCENE!

Okay, now think about ethe possibilites this could open up:

Wu promoted to Hank's partner (granted he survives becoming a werewolf or whatever). They continue to bring Nick & Monrosalee out on cases, but soon have to deal with a new Chief (since Rennard's headed for Mayor) who doesn't know anything about Wesen and may also be trying to spy on Nick for Rennard, though not understanding the full extent of what to look for.

The gang has to figure out what and how much to tell Adalind about all sorts of stuff...hilarity ensues.

Adalind possibly goes to HQ for awkward intimate run-in with Meisner, asks Eve if she still wants any of Juliette's old stuff and gets a black stare...all sorts of fabulous Adalind-ness.

Adalind dredges up some cold cases through clients at work, you might follow a case into the courtroom or negotiations...

And of course we need Adalind's powers in the mix if and when a big Black Claw battle mashup is in the works. Because she's bada$$.

What say you, Grimmsters?
