Aunt Marie enters Nick's life, bringing the trailer filled with all of the interesting things. She starts to tell Nick about being a Grimm, then comes the warning to dump Juliette. Immediately Nick begins embracing becoming a Grimm even though he has no earthly idea what a Grimm is.
Nick was not considered an extremely young man when this occurred and he never seemed to me to be one who's easily impressionable. So what do you think would cause a man to suddenly change course and embrace something so strange?
Wouldn’t part of Nick’s seemingly easy acceptance be because this information, as unimaginable as it sounded, came from someone that had played a vital role in his upbringing, and with whom he shared an absolute trust?
His reaction would have been much different if some woman had shown up and said hi, you don’t know me but I’m your aunt Marie and I have something to tell/show you about your heritage.
Marie warned him to end his relationship with Juliette for her good, but Nick didn’t. Nick instead tried to keep one foot planted in the Grimm world and one foot planted in the normal/his old lifestyle world.
Perhaps Marie was right after all. As time went on Nick’s foothold in the Grimm world became stronger as his foothold in the normal world weakened. It seems the more Nick embraced being a Grimm, the less safe Juliette and their normal life became.
I've thought that since S1 "Game Ogre" when the seigbarst trashed his home. He needed to get the hell away from her or place her life in mortal danger constantly.
In my mind, that was the one really selfish and stupid thing the character of Nick did in the course of the show. For her sake, he should have gotten out of her life.
Aunt Marie was right and Kelly was wrong. Kelly's judgement was colored by her guilt at sending her son away on the same night his father was killed, and then pretending to be dead for 19 years and not even seeing him or talking to him for all that time.
