The first time she looks at the ring she’s so excited. Happy.

The second time, there’s doubt. Sadness. I think this scene is where Juliette really fully admits to herself that she and Nick are not okay. That he’s changed.

This is where she realizes she can’t say yes when he asks.

Look, I am NOT writing 130k words of fix-it for grimm again. I’m tired Gandalf. BUT.

  • Nick is shocked, and hurt, and doesn’t understand
  • There is no wesen neighbours to save this time, and they talk
  • Through the night and well into the other day of the romantic escapade, Nick clamping up and getting more and more panicky because what if his aunt was right, was if he got Juliette killed or worse
  • Juliette getting sadder and sadder and more and more frustrated because she knows, she knows Nick has problems communicating but this is so much worse, it feels like he’s hiding something big, is it because he killed someone? Because his only family died at the same time? Does he feels alone and scared of her leaving?
  • And Nick sort of blunt out that he’s scared he’s going to get her killed, that everything is different now and he’s afraid their home isn’t safe anymore and he isn’t safe anymore for her
  • Juliette asks if he saw the police psychologist and Nick kind of… Looks down and grind his teeth because as if that’s going to help
  • Juliette, now so tired on top of being sad and frustrated, ask what exactly is going to help, because maybe he want to give up, but she’s not yet
  • Nick swallows hard and tells her if she thinks he’s crazy now, it’s not going to get any better and maybe it’s better if she leave him
  • Juliette get a little silent at that. He just went from proposing to saying she should leave, and she still doesn’t know why.
  • So she says ok, fine, hit me up with the crazy, what do we have to loose at this point?
  • They go to Monroe and Rosalee, Nick insisting that she needs to see or she’ll never believe him
  • She sees and she believe, because it’s better than going crazy. She understand now.
  • They still need time. But there’s not secret anymore.

Yes yes YES.

Or even…a few episodes later (and ONE EPISODE before he actually does try to tell her):

  • Juliette wonders aloud if things like Big Foot might be more than stories.
  • Nick takes a beat and says…“I want to show you something. But I’ll need someone else first. Give me a minute?”
  • He calls Monroe and asks him to come over. Tells him it’s time to tell Juliette the truth but he needs help, he needs proof.
  • Monroe has approximately 2.5 panic attacks, turns around 3 times on the way there, and finally tracks down Bud and makes him come too.
  • “Why me?” “You’re less scary! No offense.”
  • Meanwhile Nick goes back to Juliette and tells her she was right, at the cabin. He hasn’t been as open with her since his aunt died. But he wants to be.
  • Juliette is…a little weirded out to find Nick’s CI/friend and the refrigerator repair guy on her doorstep but she rolls with it. Nick is finally opening up to her, whatever it is at least once its out they can deal with it.
  • (She’s thinking it could be all sorts of things it is not. Undercover op? Polyamory?)
  • Nick rips off the bandaid, so to speak.
  • “What you said about the stories being real? This is going to sound…weird. But um…what if I said they were? What if I could prove it?”
  • Cue Bud. Juliette is…well. Weirded out. But not too badly. Eisbibers woges are adorable, after all.
  • Nick explains about Marie. His family legacy. The trailer. Who Adalind really is. Why Bud got so freaked out that time. How he really met Monroe. What was really up with the time he got hospitalized and the time she got kidnapped. How he can see Wesen when they don’t want to be seen.
  • Juliette is, above all, cool-headed. Logical. Nick picked a moment when they were calm, in a good place. A moment when she was already open to it.
  • All she really wants to know is: why didn’t he tell her sooner?

The first time she looks at the ring she’s so excited. Happy.

The second time, there’s doubt. Sadness. I think this scene is where Juliette really fully admits to herself that she and Nick are not okay. That he’s changed.

This is where she realizes she can’t say yes when he asks.

Juliette is shown to be kind and compassionate from episode one but this episode is the first time she shows her just ridiculous levels of courage and badassery.

That guy is HUGE. And she doesn’t try to escape, she runs for a weapon. Her first instinct is the knives…she was straight up going to try to stab this guy. But then she saw the boiling water and figured that would work better.

Just…I never get over how amazing she was in this episode.

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.

Juliette Thoughts

Juliette throwing shade at Nick’s doughnut obsession.

Juliette responding to Nick saying she makes the research sound sexy with “it’s just the word pole.”

Juliette going to check up on Marie, checking in with Nick, encouraging him to feel how he feels instead of putting on a happy face for everyone else.

So I’m going through my gifs and clips of Grimm to fill some of the outstanding gif requests in my inbox, and Nick’s face when Eve says “I know you’re here because you loved me once,” Nick’s FUCKING FACE kills me every time. Like my god, can’t you see it, Eve? Can’t you see he never once stopped?!

I’ll never be over it.
