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.

Awwwwww when she finds the ring! The look on her face.  I can’t with this okay? It hurts. This is the episode where we learn Nick and Juliette have been together for three years. Three years and they were happy and it was good, and they get maybe one more year of really good, happy life together before it all goes to hell.

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.

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.

I jut wish Nick and Juliette’s story could have ended like Bitsie’s and David’s. Is that so much to ask? :-(

I don’t think it’s too much to ask. Apparently the writers disagreed.

But at least we’ll always know that Bitsie and David are happy together in reality.

And hey, even if Nick and Juliette didn’t end up together in the end of the show, we do see that Juliette is still a part of Eve, and that Nick and Eve still hold a sincere affection for one another. I think we can safely assume they will always be a part of each other’s lives, no matter what happens.

REMEMBER WHEN NICK LOVED JULIETTE SO MUCH AND JULIETTE LOVED NICK SO MUCH, AND THEIR LOVE BROKE A CURSE ONLY TRUE LOVE CAN BREAK AND THEY SAVED EACH OTHER LIKE ALL THE TIME AND THEY WERE ALWAYS HUGGING EACH OTHER AND THEY WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER EVEN IF THEY FOUGHT SOMETIMES AND… DANCES AND DINNERS AND HAPPINESS AND LAUGHTER AND CUTE HEARTEYES AND HAND HOLDING AND CONQUERING EVIL AND GENTLE ARM/BACK RUBBING AND HEALTHY CONVERSATIONS AND TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE AND BABIES AND … (distant sobbing)

YES. YES I DO. I remember this:

AND THIS:

AND THIS:

But do you also remember the way Nick sobbed like a broken child when he thought Juliette was dead, how he had freaky dreams about it and basically had a breakdown and had to leave his house because he couldn’t bear to be surrounded by all the memories of their life together knowing she was gone?

And then all of the significant looks and painful suppressing of their feelings toward each other and literally dropping everything/kicking everyone’s ass ever to protect each other and bringing out a level of emotion in each other that no one else quite can and always responding to the other calling their name like immediately nothing else mattered and going to ridiculous lengths to protect each other and always feeling like protecting each other was as instinctual as breathing and being ready to risk everything including their own lives for each other and guilt and forgiveness and redemption and clutching desperately at each other in some nightmare hell forest ready to face down the devil himself together????

Because I have a LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THAT SHIT.

i patiently waited for grimm to fix silverhardt since 4×09. through the painful arc of hexen!jules & nick being ooc. watching julies lose herself & get killed. the horrible n/dalind arc & that yucky affair & jules being unable to show emotions. i stuck through when jules came back in s6 & she & nick started showing feelings for each other again. & the writers dropped the ball. for faithful grimm fans that were there from S1 and watched it for GRIMM not just n/dalind that was freaking unfair

I feel you, anon. It’s been months and I still feel you so hard.

‘No regrets’ was Juliette telling Nick she didn’t regret loving him & she didn’t regret THEM. Nick blamed himself for what happened to Juliette & he thought she must regret knowing him & wish she could change it. But she didn’t regret knowing or being with him. Silverhardt deserved happiness. In that scene where Julieve died there was clearly love between them still. Its so dumb they didn’t just make it official. Sure its kind of open to interpretation… but geeze ~~ Gwen

I can’t disagree with anything here. It was clear throughout seasons five and six that Nick had unresolved feelings. It was strongly hinted that Eve did in season five, and made completely obvious in season six.

But here’s the thing: I’m unhappy with the relationship Nick did plausibly end up in because it was poorly written and squicky in the extreme. But I’m actually okay with the way things ended between Nick and Eve, because the feelings were not completely denied or erased…Eve just made a choice not to pursue them any further. She decided some things were more important to her, and that she didn’t want to go back to the way things were.

And while I’m not necessarily happy about the way she got to that point…it was a great ending for a character, and not a choice you often see a character make and stick to.

I mean, most of the time on television when a woman decides she’s happy with just herself, she is a) punished soon after by the narrative or b) immediately meets “Mr. Right” and goes back on her previous statement. And while I know we often find what we were looking for when we stop looking, it’s just annoying to me that TV rarely if ever depicts a woman who is truly happy without a romance in her life, who has a larger purpose and better things to do.

So I was really happy with that aspect of Eve’s story. I just wish we could have gotten that without a side of rapist/victim squickily-ever-after.
