She also knows that Kereshite close to a Grimm can be in danger as seen in the case of Nick's father and kelly's friend. Since Marie raised Nick, she probably knows that Nick is very emotional and will be affected greatly by the death of the woman he loved if it were to happen. That was probably why Marie said to end it with Juliette as her last advice to Nick.(01-20-2018, 10:59 PM)FaceInTheCrowd Wrote: Hindsight is 20-20, but it seemed to me as if the Nick-Juliette relationship was doomed the moment they decided to have Nick not take Aunt Marie's advice to leave Juliette and at the same time also not tell Juliette what was happening to him. Because Nick, as played by DG, was not an effective liar. Don't know whether that was because DG did a really good job of playing Nick as an overgrown boy scout or because playing Nick as an effective liar was beyond DG's acting limits; I haven't seen him play anything else, so take your pick. Either way, it was inevitable that Juliette would see through the lies and eventually come to distrust and disbelieve in him.
Juliette, as Juliette, could have been an action character. In s01, without knowing what was going on, she got gun training (and was good at it) and scored a better hit on an attacking siegbarste than Nick did. If Nick had told her what he knew that first night she found him in the trailer and she had been able to learn along with him, they could have built on that from the beginning. If nothing else, we could have avoided that entire s02 amnesia arc, because Juliette would have known that Adalind was a hexenbiest who had tried to kill Aunt Marie.
Came across this reading the old posts and thought I would make a comment. I'm not sure why Marie decided to become busy body and make such an outrageous statement. She herself was involved with a wesen and who would have thought that possible from a Grimm standpoint? It shouldn't be an issue that Nick was living with a human woman.
Nick deciding to ignore her could also be for another reason. Marie was in the advanced stages of cancer and when Nick asked how long, she stated two months, two weeks, two days, nobody knows. It doesn't make sense that such a sickly woman would decide to hook up a 4000 pound (maybe more) trailer and tow it to Portland, much less not tell the man who viewed like a mother than she had cancer in the first place. Nick may have figured, as most people would, that Marie was not in her right mind because she was so sick.
Regarding the second paragraph, this is an excellent point. I have never seen anyone ever comment on it or make a similar comment. Nick himself was in the stages of disbelief that night, so Juliette's reaction would have been much easier to tolerate. He could empathize, feeling it himself. How different it would have been had Juliette known Adalind was a hexenbiest from the start.
Also regarding the last paragraph, it does raise an interesting thought. If Juliette knew Adalind was a Hexenbiest from the start, she probably needed to be a Wesen to fully know how to act to protect herself. If that wasn't the case and Nick just had Monroe or bud woge, maybe she would have become a fine warrior and probably would have been able to keep her relationship even stronger with Nick and potentially worked alongside Rosalee with curing Wesen with her vet knowledge haha. But the creation of Kelly would have still been inevitable.
