It seemed, to me, to be an effort on the part of the writers to make the Stannis character less sympathetic. I'm sure he'll have far fewer viewers rooting for him after tonight's episode…

Well, I was right. They killed off Juliette.

I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that "Grimm" is about to do something that (as far as I know) no other TV show has ever tried: kill off the main female romantic lead and replace her with the villainess.
