I seems to be established that wesen, hexenbeast, grimm, and other species are genetic. It has also been established that wesen genetics are different then non wesen. Each time Adaline has used her power (other then when she through the vase) it involved a potion using blood magic. So I would say she is changing the victims DNA. Plus to get her powers back she had to change her DNA. I do wonder if any wesen can create the potions Adiline creates. Rosalee creates antidotes why couldn't she also create the original potion. Why can't Rosalee create the antidote the get Nicks Grimm back. Would Rosalee have to sleep with Nick to restore his power since that is how he lost his power. That would be interesting. Imagine telling your wife the only way to cure you is to sleep with a friend. (Hmm I might have to try that one)
I tend to think the back story of how or when you become a Grimm has a whole in it's continuity.
It was Monroe who was making the observation that since Nick was new at being a Grimm someone must have died or be dying.
I think the writers where using the dying thing to cover Nicks becoming a Grimm and Maries Dying being so coincidental as to be lame.
But then dropped that line of logic when they realized it would mess with the shows continuity.
Then again Monroe is the only one who proposed the idea. An it could be a wesen urban legend.
Could be why when the subject came up again it was handled as being a genetic birthright.
The subject came up when talking to Trubel. She stated she noticed as she got older.
Rolek knew that Josh would never be a Grimm. Nothing else in the wesen community has it's ability tied to someone dying, why would Grimms.
But then the problem comes in, Nick is in his thirties and his Grimm is just starting to show? I have heard of late bloomers but not until your 30's. The show did state that females get their Grimm earlier then males but that is a big jump in age between when Trubel got her Grimm (in her early teens) and Nick got his (in his thirties).
I tend to think the writers where dealing with how do you explain that a 30 something would not know they are a Grimm. Of course they could have used the explanation that Nick suffers from nightmares. Something like what Wu is dealing with. They could have used the same logic, Nick thinking he was going crazy. They could have pointed out that Nick has been on leave several times because the PPD felt he was overworked and seeing things. This would have been a better way then the death scenario. Especially when he finds out he is a Grimm and tries to explain it to Juliette. She would be alarmed because she was scared his nightmares where coming back. Causing concern that he was working to hard. To watch Nick go from a detective that was convinced that he was crazy and doing all he could to hide what he sees. To knowing the truth and becoming a detective that is confident and on a mission to reevaluate all the past cases that he could not explain.
