It’s easy to forget, because that scene is confusing, but Nick actually didn’t shoot Melissa Winthrop until she had already let go of Adalind and was going for Hank.

That’s his second shooting on the job, too. Jesus Nick.

What they’ve never really answered is…why did the Hexenbiests want the Mellifers out of the way? More importantly, why did Sean? Since it seems as though Sean was the one pulling Serena and Camilla’s strings as well as Adalind’s.

Was Sean the “he” the Mellifer Queen was referring to when she said he was coming for Nick? Or was it someone else? Eric, perhaps? Or even further in the future, Zerstorrer?

I’ve never stopped half-wishing he had been a little more Grimm than cop and sided with Melissa in that scene. If only because I really want to know what would have happened, what they were there to protect Nick from.

Is it just me, or is the Mellifer Queen actually using the royal We when she’s talking to the beekeeper in the car?

I don’t like this any more than you do. But if it’s my duty to protect you? I damn well better have a good reason, or I might just have a bad day at work.

Nick to Adalind

I really love that scene in the hotel room in “Beeware.” Nick’’s profiling skills are on full display again. He knows what Adalind is. He knows she’s the one who tried to kill Marie. But he’s profiling her, in this entire scene. Trying to get her to admit it, or, in the absence of that, to drop her facade and show him her true face. It’s a very guns-on-the-table scene and I love it.

Good lord, but they really piled the makeup onto Claire in the first season. She has like…hot pink lipstick, bright blush, a solid couple millimeters of black eyeliner all the way around the eye, dark eyeshadow, very plucked and shaped eyebrows.

It’s interesting because even though it’s a lot of makeup it creates a very young look, like someone who’s trying to look older and more imposing than they are. Which actually kinda fits with her character in a weird way.

We had no idea. No idea how big a deal/problem Adalind was going to be. We didn’t even know what the name Adalind Schade meant the first time we heard it.

This is so the part of the movie where the sidekick gets it.

Monroe to Nick

Nick saying “good boy” to Monroe and the Look Monroe shoots at him. But he doesn’t even grumble because Nick gives him that crooked smile.

It’s clearer every time I watch that there were cracks forming in Nick and Juliette’s relationship as early as episode 3. Maybe even episode 1. The implication is that he’s always been very present and open, and now suddenly he’s gone all the time and closed-off. It’s a real testament to Bitsie as an actress too because a lot of it is conveyed almost entirely via facial expressions and body language, rather than actual dialogue.
