Hi,
am I the only one who has a queasy feeling about Nicks family? I mean why should Renard killing Nicks aunt when he´s on the side of the resistens and working aganist the royalty. And why didn´t came Nicks mother his aunt to help?
My consideration is that maybe his mother and his aunt working with the royales or at least with the varrat.
That would be explain why Mrs. Grimm kills Adalins mother and stay in Portland.
Nick's family does seem to have a dark past. There is little known about all of them yet. I wouldn't say his mother is a good person yet.
Captain Renard told Nick that it wasn't about his Aunt, it was about the key.
Aunt Marie wanted to keep the key safe. She might not have know about the resistance or not trusted it.
We know that Nick's mom was out of touch with Nick. And I think Nick said he hadn't really been in touch with Aunt Marie for years. Nick's mom hadn't seen the trailer for years. So it is probably safe to assume that Aunt Marie and Nick's mom had been out of touch with each other. At least for a few years if not for even longer.
And Nick's mom killed Adelaide's mom by accident, and then almost right away left Portland to get rid of the coins.
But Nick's mom and Aunt Marie were traditional Grimms. They killed Wessons all the time. and although Nick has killed his fair share of Wessons, he doesn't do it automatically. Most of the time out of self defense.
But Aunt Marie seemed nice in the few episodes we saw her. And Nick's mom appears to be capable of change. She shared a ride with Rosalee and Monroe - and even got a hug from Rosalee.
But there does seem to be some "dark secrets" with Grimms. we learned that in the past some Grimms worked for the royals in order to keep Wessons in line.
Captain Renard had kept Nick alive for some reason. And it probably isn't good.

I don´t really think it was an accident. Maybe that was very planed by Nicks Mom.
If I remember correctly she didn´t leave Portland after the visit by Nick.
i agree with lou, i also think adalind's mother's death was an accident, the look on kelly's face when she say the glass in her neck was surprise, and she really didn't get any information from her, why kill her so soon?
however, i do think there is something about nick's family, the way all wesen react to nick, and from some of the stories we have heard, they definitely have a dark past. i don't know where it might lead, but i know it is an interesting road. i don't entirely trust her, i do think there might be alteror motive her that nick might not be able to see.
I definitely think you're onto something, FräuleinWunderlich. The Grimms seem to have something strange going on about them. They certainly are not innocent. Despite protecting the norms against violent Wesen, they're morally grey.
I think that it has been implied and outright stated that Grimm have wiped out Wesen regardless of their nature. IIRC, the Genio innocuo, those turtle type Wesen, were slaughtered in the past by a Grimm who wrote in a journal that they were "easy" to kill because they were non-violent.
But that sort of behavior isn't limited to the past. We can see by how Wesen and Grimms interact that there's something going on under the surface.
Kelly Burkhardt, Nick's mom, didn't seem to think too much of Monroe and Rosalee when she first met them. Her reaction toward Monroe, a Blutbad, is understandable, but Rosalee doesn't seem particularly dangerous as a Fuchsbau. And considering the way Marie Kessler and Farley Kolt's engagement went down with the rest of the Grimm community, I'd say that Grimms have a hefty bias.
It can also be inferred from reactions toward Nick that Wesen expect violence from a Grimm, even toward relatively harmless ones like Bud. (Remember the way he first talked to Nick? Trying to appease him?)
Well, I will agree that Grimms have killed lots of Wessons. And that includes Nick's relatives. in the past there were some Grimms working with the royals. In fact, we sort of know that not that long ago the Royals were working with Grimms ( because of Rennard's parentage).
But I don't think Aunt Marie and Nick's mom were working with the royals. But I suppose we could find some of other Nick's relatives to be nasty.
We know that Nick has at least one uncle who, despite being of the bloodline, never manifested Grimm abilities, and the uncle's children are too young yet.
Perhaps one of those cousins will decide to attend college in Portland; according to this (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_col..._in_Oregon) there are about 20.
Speaking of which, do we know where Nick went to college and what he studied? (While you don't need a college degree to be a police officer, most city departments prefer at least an associate's, and you have to have a bachelor's if you want to get beyond patrolman.) Perhaps he came to Portland for college, decided he liked it there?
Given how well he draws, perhaps he was an art major. There are two art schools listed in Portland, not to mention art departments at the comprehensive colleges.
I know this is off topic, but when is Nick going to marry juliette? Before they couldn't because of all the hidden secrets, but everything is out in the open now. We haven't noticed Nick asking anymore.
I think Nick is a little worried about her because she is still adjusting to this knew life... For her part I think Juliette is probably still trying to figure the whole thing out... As for the writers I think they're probably thinking one wedding at a time
