If it was Juliette's or co-owned He could not sell it without her death certificate. Yet some will still claim it was her house?
Would that be one of your Indirect Narrative Exposition?
Yes they use Exposition to establish the rules. But you do know this show ran for six season. In that time many rules they established in the first season where changed in later seasons. it was first established that Nick became a Grimm because is aunt was dying. Later the rules for becoming a Grimm where changed.
As for the house there was never any mention as to who was on title. They only said it was Nick house or they said it was Julietes house or they said it was Nick and Juliettes house. Actual ownership of property is seldom address in any show.
Quote:How about the references of Juliette's promiscuous past, starting with her admission of how her grandmother was trying to scare her to keep her out of the back seats of cars when she was a teenager. Her own words in the supermarket scene early on in season one about her previous boyfriend? How about when we meet her college roommate, Alicia and we find out about her multiple interests/partners she had in college? How is that for a Indirect Narrative Exposition?
For one you are assuming she sleep with all these people. As in a lot of other shows there are a lot of dates but seldom if ever do they sleep with the people they go out with.
But in answer to your question the Exposition did portray Juliette as someone that did not sit home on weekends. It showed she had a very active social life. That does not make her promiscuous.
This show was done in 2016 during a time when women have sex for the shear pleasure of it. No longer do they feel constrained to have to be in love to have sex.
Best you look up the meaning of the word. I never claimed the word only applies to women. Just because women have caught up to men in having casual sex with multiple partners does not change the meaning of the word.
Merriam Webster:
Definition of promiscuous
1 : composed of all sorts of persons or things
2 : not restricted to one class, sort, or person : indiscriminate
education … cheapened through the promiscuous distribution of diplomas —Norman Cousins
3 : not restricted to one sexual partner
4 : casual, irregular
promiscuous eating habits
I don't see the word being restricted to only women. Do YOU??
As for the house ownership, you are arguing with yourself with your claim of Indirect Narrative Exposition. Or are you cherry picking again?
Please, make up your mind!

You use what ever works. Once they find out you won't leave them behind or kill them or spank them in a store, you search anyone to keep them in line so you don't leave, kill or spank them. Santa keeping a list works with small kids, boggy man works with older ones--it worked for Juliette's grandmother for a while, then she learned the truth.
I had both my kids playing the RPG game, Everquest, when they were in grammar school with adult filters. I had some basic rules.
"A" 90-100, average, they could play the game when they had time
"B" 80-89, average, weekends only.
"C" 70-79, average, no longer allowed to play.
"D" 65-69, average, Characters would be stripped of their earned gear and weapons permanently.
Failure, 64 and lower, I would permanently delete their characters.
Results? Both kids, not only made the honor roll in elementary, middle and high school but they made "Distinguished Honor Roll" this meant that even with an 'A" average, no single subject mark would be below an 88. I think my son drifted in and out of regular honor roll and distinguished.
At graduation one was ranked at 23 out of aprox. 600 member of her graduating class. The other at 46 out of about 650 member of his graduating class. Both went on to college with large partial scholarship.
I never had to spank them. Their actions predicted the results. It was all under their control.
Did I mention, both kids had their individual PC's at the age of 2 and a half years old playing math and reading learning games and using Windows 3.1.
