> [@VunderBob](#): > > What makes it funny is that Adalind is a poor little rich girl who would pay someone to do that kind of stuff for her while she maybe watched. Just as a remark. Did anyone else noticed that Claire Coffee (the actress who plays Adalind) is listed as one of the “regulars” this season ? ---

Well, they need a regular villain, and now that the captain seems to be part of Nick’s posse, he’s out. ---

Look, you knew Adalind was going to get her powers back; otherwise, why have her in the show at all? So all the rigamarole was just tedious and her reaction didn’t make it any less so. This week’s episode was pretty unengaging. Hopefully, it will improve now that the zombie Nick is gone. ---

Yeah, the brother’s definitely still alive. ---

I can see why Nick might feel some guilt, but come on, someone (Juliet?) literally said something like “Nick’s a murderer”. No, he’s not. He didn’t have any premeditation. At worst he’d be a manslaughterer (and given it was both self defense and under the influence not of his own doing, that’s a huge stretch). I’m betting we find out someone else killed the guy after the fact to try and frame Nick, though. ---

So, the after-effect of the zombie incident is to give Nick a new superpower? ---

The zombie experience has apparently enhanced Nick’s innate Grimm abilities, or possibly made him more able to turn them on and off at will (or subconsciously). It has also had a curious effect on his metabolism, as he doesn’t seem to tire and can apparently slow his breathing (and heart rate, etc.) for short (?) periods of time. Oh, and M. is definitely Mom. ---

Right, I’m thinking the metabolic thing is definitely a zombie aftereffect – note the gray skin and red eyes when he does it. ---

I thought M=Mom as well. I will be pissed if we spend the rest of the season with Juliet having MiL issues. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grimm-season-3/672102.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grimm-season-3/672102.md?page=3)
