Nick was so determined to move forward with their relationship that he proposed while still concealing he was a Grimm. I don’t recall him ever giving serious consideration to ending the relationship and striking out on his own. Nor was there a period of time on the show that Nick wasn’t in a relationship/commitment of some sorts. By the time Nick concluded that he and Juliette weren’t going to reconcile, he had already accepted that he was the father of Adalind’s baby and would take care of them. Even had he decided to leave Portland at the end of S4, he wouldn’t have left his child behind. Because Nick never considered not being a hands-on parent, he couldn't have seriously considered becoming a lone wolf Grimm.(02-26-2018, 07:03 AM)Robyn Wrote: I don’t think it’s about only providing Nick a girlfriend. Renard stated the necessity of Juliette in S1. She provided Nick roots in Portland, a reason to stay in one place. Without a dedicated love interest, whether Juliette, Adalind, or someone else, Nick might have gravitated toward the typical lone wolf Grimm lifestyle.I don't think so. If Nick was going to gravitate toward the long wolf life of a grimm, he would have started to do so once Marie entered the picture.
