I did have this crazy moment when I remembered Baby Diana disguising herself as a pillow (or something like that) last season, and wondered whether the "Kelly" that Kenneth's minions killed was actually Kelly or some kind of prolonged illusion produced by Diana. But that seems pretty out there. And wouldn't the

I'm torn about Kelly's death. She was amazing—a hardened, late-middle-aged female action hero. And there are extremely good arguments that she deserved better than a fridging. But her death has such potential to upend character dynamics and plotlines, that I'm not willing to judge it until we see what it produces in

RIP, Renard's pectoral stigmata. You will be missed.

Sad as it is to say, I've been checking the TV Club site every half hour since "Headache" aired, because I really want to talk about it. Sigh. :-p

But guys, we would've missed all those "I have to buy my evil dad some soup" moments!

What does it say about me that when I read this I thought you meant the USA Network?

I agree—Renard used Adalind pretty horribly in the first season, and I've never bought Renard having feelings beyond lust for her. I also feel like there's been so much mutual destruction between Adalind and Team Grimm, that demonizing Adalind doesn't make much sense. Renard had done terrible things, Nick's mom killed

Massively agree with this.

I bet a potion was involved…

Witchcraft ceased to be a crime in Scotland in 1736, full-stop. The last witch-trial in Scotland occurred in the 1720's. To try someone for witchcraft in the 1740's would have been illegal and outrageous, and there's no way the laird would have permitted it. The Scottish enlightenment was well under way at this point

I would like to see Juliette last into season five as a Big Bad. And I do think you're right—Bitsie Tulloch's character has been so badly and/or under-written for so much of the show's run that it's hard to say that we really know much about her acting ability. They introduced Juliette solely as a love-interest, with

But they seem to have a good supply of cousins—so why not let Kenneth be king? He's surprising competent, given his genetic background.

I think the best solution is a nanny. Or maybe City of Portland employee childcare? Or better yet—maybe Bud's wife could run a daycare? *That* could be fun.

Juliette actually seems to have gained a couple IQ points along with her hexenpowers. Which makes me worry for Adalind, who was not the brightest hexenbulb before taking the suppressant.

I actually thought it was a sign of bad things are, that Nick only rolled his eyes Hank, rather than laughing or smiling at Monroe's disclaimer.

They're going to use the neighbors' house as a surveillance site. There's a shot of one of Kenneth's henchmen watching Nick's house with binoculars in the promo for next week. Also, Royals can't resist any chance to kill commoners that arises—reminds them of the good old days.

Why shouldn't she forget? God knows, we have.

I wonder if Juliette's root grievance is that Nick chose the Wesen world over her. He could have remained normal—which is what I think Juliette would have preferred. But the show made it so clear that he was not happy about losing his powers. Despite his unhappiness, Nick didn't try to get re-grimmed until Juliette

Didn't Adalind spill to Nick that Renard had been plotting against him in the first season? Though to be fair, I can't remember if she got into specifics.

And you have to think that Rosalee offers a better flex-time plan than most law-firms!
