That gotcha moment would waste the centuries old mystery of the stick and cloth. How the scoobies deal with the ultimate threat wouldn't matter because it would be completely overshadowed by Nick's baby mama drama. That would be the only discussion worth having so the keys, the stick, the cloth, the mystery, the battle, and the resolution would be a complete waste of time.Whatever fans think of Adalind's character, Kelly's paternity is a settled matter, Adalind's completely smitten with Nick, to the detriment of her character and individuality. There's never going to be a Mauri-like reveal that Nick is not the father, not after paddling so far the current narrative showing Nick's movement as a character as a Grimm and his relationships with the people he loves. I don't see them regressing anything in the last two episodes AND fighting a demon bent on world domination at the same time. If this season was character driven instead of plot driven, there would have been a chance to reverse much of what was done to these characters and I'm sure at the top of that list is the reinstating of the Nick and Juliette relationship as a "coming full circle" journey for characters but that is not the story that's being told.
Grimm isn't real a fairytale, at least not the kind where the characters we feel for the most get their happily ever after and those we feel deserve punishment, get their just deserts. This show has subverted that trope as early as season 1. I feel the show speak more about a coming of age type of story, an acceptance that life is messed up but you don't sit and wallow in self pity, you pick yourself up and make lemonade out of the lemons. Nick's world changed that day he saw Adalind and childishly, he tried to hold on to his life and was unwilling to accept the change but that happened anyway. How different would the journey have been if he'd been more honest with those changes and their consequences?
