They've been hinting at a strong 'supernatural genetics' thing the entire series. Hexenbiests have been the most prominent example of this, though, specifically the moment in S1 when Adalind's powers went woosh out of her like an exorcism.

That was because of, Nick's Blood..
The biggest shocker for me though lately, is they have been saying that the Royal's are not even Wessin, there supposevly some branch of Grimm that has the same ability....Hence why Renard is a bastard to the family.
I've been wondering about that also. They were referred to (it was in writing) as the "Grimm Royal Families" somewhere. I want to say it was on the official site, but I can't recall where I found it at.

Well we have never seen a royal transform outside of the Capt, but he is half Hexenbiest. However, it seems pretty clear that they can see Wesen just fine. That would suggest that, at the very least, Grimms and Royals share some common ancestor. The show also very early on mentioned that the royals used to use Grimms to do work for them.
They're definitely upping the supernatural side of things. Stupid DVR recording was cut off in the final parts so didn't see how things ended.

After Elizabeth transform's into Adalind ? Part..
You don't really miss much, Monroe and them go over to Nick's place saying they have found a way to reverse what Adalind has done, but they need something from Julia, show cuts off there...

I got the rest from Hulu, who isn't forcing me to have Hulu+ for Grimm at least.

Was that the midseason finale? If it was, good cliffhanger spot. I wonder if Julliette was always a Hexenbiest or if this is just a pure side effect of the potion. Monroe in deep shit, although I'd like to see him go full beastmode We saw what he did when those other wessen shot his ex-gf a season ago.

Well, I don't think it has been established that bonking a hexenbiest = automatic deGrimming ;p
Late to the party, but totally called Juliette ending up a hexenbiest. They were heavily implying that for a short time shewasAdalind, plus the use of the word "reversing", and when the midsection pain came along it really made me think that she was reliving Adalind's life backwards all the way to the point of regaining hexenbiest powers.
Hexenbiests are so weird. Really curious how they'll handle this one, now, but it was an interesting idea for Juliette to end up one as a result, and certainly cements her character's future on the show. They really haven't played up on her (animal) medical expertise, though. You'd think some species of wesen would involve that side a bit more.
They did establish that Grimm blood can take away hexenbiest powers though. So Juliette being a hexenbiest may not last very long unless they come up with some reason why Nick's blood wouldn't work

Well they seem to have set the precedent that certain Wessen attacks that Nick survives somehow augment his abilities. Like the one that blinded him gave him super powered hearing and the zombie thing gave him super strength and allow him to survive longer without oxygen.
