Grimm Sneak Peak: 5×21-22, “The Beginning of the End, Parts 1 & 2″

It looks like some bad stuff is going down in HW HQ for sure, a full-scale Black Claw invasion of the previously-hidden base. Also, Hank is looking a little the worse for wear in that last photo. Could using Zuri to find HW’s location be the strategic move against Hank we’ve heard so much about, or is there more badness in store?

Seeing as how the last time Juliette had free will she set up Kelly to be killed, helped kidnap a todler and tried to murder Nick, I’m not terribly fussed about this development TBH. At least she’s only killing bad people now.

Actually, the last time Juliette had free will she tried to save her friends by helping Nick get back the powers that were ruining her life, because she cared more about what they needed than what she wanted.

And I wouldn’t be too quick to trust Hadrian’s Wall so completely. How do we know that the people they’ve marked for death are all bad people? Even if they are bad people, who is HW to appoint themselves judge, jury, and executioner?

These people kidnapped Trubel once before, covered up multiple murders, and took a dying woman and subjected her to a level of psychological torment that has severed her from her own identity. We actually have no idea what they did to Trubel to “convince” her to work with them. How do we know it wasn’t a less severe version of what they did to Juliette?

I’m just saying, these people deal in secrets, shadows, death, and control. Just because Black Claw seems pretty clearly bad and Hadrian’s Wall opposes them doesn’t mean Hadrian’s Wall is good. From where I’m sitting, their methods are pretty similar and their reasons are just as shady.

I just had a horrible thought:

Apparently, these HW people have the resources to completely erase a crime scene, bring a person back from what should have been a fatal wound, and completely reprogram someone, either through magic or good old-fashioned brainwashing techniques, to the point that they no longer even identify with the person they were before or feel anything for the people they knew in their previous life.

And we’ve talked a bit (a very small bit) about Trubel, why she’s working with them, etc. But…if they could reprogram Juliette completely in a matter of a few weeks, is there any reason they couldn’t do the same to Trubel in the months she was gone? Assuming she told Nick the truth, and they really did find her right after she left with Josh (is he even still alive????), how do we know they didn’t just lock her in that cell for months and do whatever they did to Juliette to her as well?
