Frequently asked about Grimm

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• What are Wesen and why can only Grimms see their true form?▾

  Wesen are a parallel race of creatures who can appear human but possess an animalistic true form called a 'woge.' Grimms are a hereditary lineage of hunters with a unique neurological trait that allows them to perceive the woge even when Wesen are not actively revealing themselves. This ability is passed down through blood and activates when a Grimm reaches maturity or comes under extreme stress, as Nick experienced when his aunt Marie arrived dying on his doorstep.

• Why did Juliette lose her memory of Nick and what caused her transformation into a Hexenbiest?▾

  Juliette lost her memory of Nick after Adalind cast a sleeping curse on her in Season 2, which was designed to destroy Nick's Grimm powers by severing his emotional connection to someone he loved. To reverse Nick's lost powers in Season 4, Juliette had to undergo a ritual that required her to become a Hexenbiest herself, introducing Hexenbiest DNA into her system. The transformation proved irreversible and overwhelming, causing her personality to fracture until she fully embraced the identity of 'Eve' under Hadrian's Wall.

• What is the Black Claw and what was their ultimate goal?▾

  Black Claw was a radical Wesen supremacist organization that sought to overthrow human governments and establish Wesen-led political power structures across the world. Their strategy involved placing Wesen in positions of governmental authority, which they pursued through Conrad Bonaparte's manipulation of Renard's mayoral campaign in Portland. Unlike the Wesen Council, which enforced secrecy and coexistence with humans, Black Claw believed Wesen should openly rule, viewing the centuries of hiding as subjugation rather than necessity.

• What is the significance of the stick Nick finds and what is its true origin?▾

  The stick, found inside a cloth bearing a Crusader cross in the final seasons, possesses miraculous healing properties — it revives Hank and Wu after they are fatally wounded and heals other injuries. Its exact origin is left deliberately ambiguous, though the imagery strongly implies it is a relic connected to the Holy Lance or a similar sacred artifact from the Crusades that Grimm ancestors recovered. The show treats it as a supernatural object of immense but poorly understood power, and it becomes a target for both Zerstörer and other factions in the final season.

• How does the series finale resolve Nick's fate and what happened in the alternate ending timeline?▾

  In the finale, the demon Zerstörer kills Monroe, Rosalee, Hank, Wu, and Renard before being defeated when Nick, aided by the combined spirits of his mother Kelly and aunt Marie, uses Zerstörer's own staff against him. The act of killing Zerstörer resets time to the moment before his arrival, restoring all the dead characters to life with no memory of the events. A flash-forward epilogue reveals Nick raises his son Kelly and daughter Diana, and eventually his son and daughter become Grimms themselves, suggesting the Grimm lineage continues into a new generation.
