Why doesn't Nick talk to Juliette?

After all the weird stuff that has happened to Juilette, I'm still surprised that Nick hasn't told her that he is a grimm.

Nick doesn't know about Juliette's hallucinations. From his point of view, Juliette is getting her memories back, but she is having a rough time. She asked him to leave her alone, which is fine, but the self-imposed isolation isn't helping her.

I like Juliette, but at this point, I'm waiting for a wesen to attack the house. She won't be able to respond because she won't know what's going on. Hopefully Nick will be there to save her because the way her character is, Juliette won't be able to protect herself.

Hank found about about wesen and is still a detective. He can better help Nick with research and fighting wesen. The writers should give Juliette the same chance.

  1. I almost wonder if the writers on Grimm are dragging out Juliette's ignorance of the wesen world because they don't know how to manage her character if she's not the token character who has no idea what's going on. I am a sucker for a secret-keeping plotline (I'm pretty much the only person I know who was actually okay with Arthur not finding out about Merlin until the eleventh hour) but even I think this is getting ridiculous. Nick definitely does need to talk to her, this whole thing with Monroe acting as a go-between is more than a bit stupid, even if I appreciate Nick's inclination to want to give Juliette the space she has asked for.
    There's so much more they could do with her character. She's got such a stubborn moral center, I think she could do very well picking up the slack left by Hank vis-a-vis moral objections to Nick blurring the line between cop and Grimm.

    1. Yeah, I figure either the writers don't know what to do with Juliette or there's going to be a huge pay-off involving her. But I'm inclined to think it's the first one.

      Even if Juliette doesn't find out about wesen, she could contribute more to the stories than what she's been doing so far this season. And if she did know, I agree, she would be a nice complement to Hank.
