With the crazy twists this season has taken, Nick's got 99 problems and a hexenbiest ain't one - it's at least two. How is Juliette going to take the news that Adalind is expecting? Sit tight, as we're about to find out.

We don't get a Wesen of the week this episode - we instead get a variety of them, men and their sons, who go camping and set out to "embrace their true natures," which apparently includes catching rabbits and spit-roasting them. Unfortunately, a human also meets his untimely end that night and when Nick, Hank, and Wu investigate the death and determine it must be Wesen, they go to Monroe. He sniffs around and leads them to the Wesen Scout camp. The Wesen who run the camp are wary of Nick's presence, but allow them to look around. They also grill Monroe about working with a grimm, and after his previous run-in with Wesen who didn't approve of his choice in friends, Monroe is quite defensive.

At the station Nick and Hank question the campers but find nothing, so they decide to send Monroe back to the camp that night to see if anything else happens. He is happy to help and talks to the campers about the responsibilities of being a Wesen. However, when the campers begin to hunt Monroe can't help but join in - and he discovers that the camp owner's daughter is the culprit. He lets her family know and then calls Nick for help. She is stabbed, and her father cries and holds her as she passes away.

Sean has another episode, this time finding himself outside in the rain for whatever strange reason. Later, at the station, he receives a visit from Adalind, who shares her good news. Sean brings Nick in and she tells him too, then tells him she wants him to protect her from Juliette - in return, she has a possible solution to the problem. While she cannot reverse what happened, she thinks there is a way to suppress the hexenbiest within. She tells Nick a dead hexenbiest will be needed - not a fresh one, sorry, Nick - and offers her mother's corpse. She also shares the news that the baby is a boy and quite the kicker, though Nick is not interested in feeling that for himself and only participates when she quite literally forces his hand.

Speaking of Juliette, Rosalee goes to see her in jail and listens to her wax poetic about her new life. Disturbed, she takes her leave, but soon after Juliette has another visitor, and this one bails her out. It's none other than Kenneth, or as I like to call him, Random Royal #672. He's well aware that Adalind's baby is Nick's and can't wait to share the news with Juliette, but she tells him she doesn't believe him and takes her leave. She's clearly shaken, though, and storms into the precinct to learn the truth for herself. She confronts Nick and Adalind, ready to kill Adalind, and Nick barely manages to diffuse the situation. He takes Adalind to see Rosalee in hopes that she will help them make what they need to help Juliette. I also have to mention that all sorts of people find out in a very short span of time that Adalind is pregnant again, and they all pretty much liken her to the town bicycle. Ouch.

In the end, Juliette goes to see RR #672, who offers Juliette anything she wants in return for her help in drawing out Nick's mother. She goes to the trailer and destroys everything, sets it on fire, then calls Nick to tell him. I'm guessing she wanted to take credit for her work, or perhaps she was concerned about lighting the entire forest on fire. Either way, Nick knows and is not happy.

Next week things really come to a head. Juliette is totally out of control and seems to like it that way, and I have to wonder how much farther this will go before she's saved from herself. Or will that even happen? Nick has her at gunpoint in the preview, and with a baby on the way it's hard to tell what decisions he'll make. What do you think? Do you like psychotic Juliette? Let me know in a comment below or on Twitter at @GoddessTiff with your thoughts, and don't forget to follow @BWWTVWorld while you're there to stay up to date on your favorite shows.
