For Nick to become a traditional Grimm by ending up alone would have destroyed some of the main themes of the show, the idea that family and friends makes you stronger (two or more heads are better than one), and that Nick is not your typical kind of Grimm (he is family orientated and willingly develops close friendships and relationships with wesen).Hi Wes,
Your comment "two or more heads are better than one" reminded me of Monroes's line in 1.19, "Leave It To Beavers":
Quote:Nick was able to fight back, having brought several Grimm weapons with him. After a tough fight, Nick evaded the blade, and the Reaper accidentally cut off his partner's head, angering him just when he was about to attack. Nick reached for his crossbow and shot him in the neck while the Reaper was distracted. Monroe arrived after Nick called him, and Nick said he needed to send a message. Monroe replied, "Two heads are better than one." He then grabbed the Reaper's scythe and cut off his head. The heads were delivered to Germany with a note saying, "Next time send your best."
Classic Grimm!

lol, forgot about that one. Classic Monroe.

Adalind was the first to insist to follow after her in the mirror world, and would have done so if Nick had not refused for her to do so. I think in that incident it was more of an act first, think later scenario. Even Renard was also planning to follow them into the mirror world, from what I could recall, in his efforts to protect Diana.I got the impression that Adalind and Sean where willing to go because of the guilt they felt for past deeds. Especially Adalind, as time went on she showed signs of having regret for what she did to Juliette. She even said it was time she apologized. Add to this Eve was willing to risk her life for Adalind kids and the group. If Adalind truly wanted to see herself as a good person she had to be willing to make the same sacrifice. Out of all the seasons Adalind offering to go after Eve was the first and only selfless act she has ever offered. Nick reasoning seemed more out of a sense of love. The was made even more apparent when there Eve even said it was misguided on his part for him to have risked himself out of love for her.
No, what JuliEve said was she knew he 'ONCE LOVED HER' and his guilt over what happened to her was the reason why he followed her. Nick was in love with Adalind (even Juli Eve said that to him in the tunnels), he knew that he had a great life with Adalind, his son and Diana. He was able to move on and finally found the family that he was looking for. He was truly happy but he wasn't completely at peace because he felt responsible for the sad state of Julie Eve's life. Nick could see that JuliEve ended up with nothing, no job, no house. He felt he destroyed juliettes life and her dreams because of who he was - a Grimm. Juli Eve assured him that she may not be happy but she realised that she had a higher purpose in life, she was at peace with herself and that she wouldn't want to go back to her old life because whatever happened to her was meant to be. Nick may still care/love her as a friend, but he wasn't in love with her anymore. That was what their whole conversation was about - finally letting go.
