Ok so for anyone who just saw the 100th episode of Grimm knows that we just got the conclusion to the seven keys storyline. Spoilers!!!!! And they found a box that took seven keys (five keys and some lock picking) plus the blood of a Grimm to open. And in the box was a stick wrapped in cloth with some writing on the cloth. The Stick can heal people as we saw with Monroe (who was dying of blood poisoning). So that leaves the question of what the ‘Stick’ is. I have three theories about this.
1.) The ‘stick’ is a piece of the staff of Moses. I think this is the most likely of my three theories because: one we know that the seven Grimm knights that found it were apart of the crusades so being a religious artifact is almost a given, two it heals something Moses could do.
2.) The ‘stick’ is a piece of the spear of destiny. A.K.A. the spear that pierced Christ’s side on the cross. It is said that the spear of destiny would grant ultimate power to whoever held it. It is also believed that the spear was broken at some point. Hitler was said to have the spear’s head. So that could tie in nicely with the Grimm mythos to this point.
3.) The ‘Stick’ is a piece of the Cross that Christ was crucified on. Again religious artifact that has to do with wood. Though I will admit this one is the least likely of the three. Due to the shape of the ‘stick’.
Well that is what I think the ‘stick’ might be. If anyone has any thoughts on the ‘stick’ I would love to hear them.
I like Rosalie’s thoughts. That the stick is a part of the tree of knowledge. Personally, I think it’s from a tree that is referenced in different religions. The Norse tree of life and the Christian tree of knowledge. The tree that inspired the stories of the other trees.
These are the three things I think it could be as well, although I actually think the cross or the staff are the most likely options. Moses used the staff to heal, and pieces of the cross are said to have healing powers. But the spear’s powers are typically believed to be of a much more malevolent nature.
Being a hexenbiest fundamentally alters the mind and emotions of the person. Adalind is literally TERRIFIED of having those powers back
If this is true – can the writers try not to have the other characters constantly bash Juliette every episode? It makes it so hard to swallow as realistic given Juliette went bad over 2 episodes and then the writers made it so she can’t ever be redeemed. It feels imbalanced in the writing of Juliette vs Adalind. I know a lot of folks hated Juliette but she was fundamentally a good person at heart. So if Adalind gets the “she was only bad because HB”, then it’d be nice if the show acknowledged that with Juliette. But I guess they cannot do that because Adalind is the reason why this happened to Juliette and they are trying to make Adalind the good one now.
I hate Saint/sinner writing. 😦
Yes, this. This is all I want. If they’re going to redeem Adalind based on the notion that she wasn’t herself or wasn’t in control when she did all the terrible things she’s done, they need to stop throwing Juliette under the bus, too.
They’ve been hinting at this for a awhile I can’t help but think – what about Sean Renard? He’s a zauberbiest, which is the same thing except gendery. Renard isn’t all evil and murdery and he has his powers.
Only Renard has pointed out several times they are not the same thing, like when Juliette went to him for help after she changed.
Actually, Renard has been pretty murdery in the past. He killed people in season one, including his own cousin. He facilitated human trafficking for that horrible fighting ring until they stepped outside his rules for who they kidnapped.
He was also the mastermind behind a lot of Adalind’s early actions, including the attacks on Aunt Marie and Hank.
It was only after he underwent that purification spell to save Juliette that he started to become nicer and less shady (which he only did because she tied Nick to Portland and he wanted Nick where he could keep an eye on him and have a chance to get at the key he had).

“The road trip in Germany is our salute to Season 1, which was basically Monroe and Nick’s buddy comedy. History suggests they should be mortal enemies but they became best friends. Monroe is such a fantastic character. If it wasn’t for him, Nick would have no entrée to this wild and crazy Grimm world. He’d still be floundering around like a fool. And I’d be doing the same without Silas. He’s such a brilliant actor. When we started shooting Grimm, I was so nervous and unsure of myself. It was Silas who pulled me through.”
