They have a guest room? Why'd Nick have to go live with Monroe then when Juliette had amnesia? He was sleeping on the couch up till then, IIRC. At first I thought you were talking about Monroe's guest room...and that might actually be funny if it wasn't completely implausible. Imagine if Monroe's family comes back to visit again and they have a Grimm for a roommate
As for the chess piece...the Grimm writers aren't exactly good with subtlety. I imagine its going to end up that she's somehow connected to the Royals - maybe she comes from a line of Grimms that work for the Royals (knights to their king, as it were), unbeknownst to her, and the chess piece is something her mother gave her but never got a chance to explain what it means.

Isnt it King Kronenberg or something? I thought Renard was his matrilinear name, since he obviously wasn't accepted into his father's side of the family. **edit** oh wait, Eric was a Renard too, so I guess not...shame, I like King Kronenberg better than King Renard for such a Teutonic family and setting that they've put them in.
As for the baby, this has been my complaint all along. They've never established WHY they all want this baby so bad. I'm pretty sure this isn't just an elaborate custody battle...obviously, the baby is the key to doing something, but its high time they actually start laying out what that might be. Until then, her name might as well be Diana MacGuffin Schade.

Yeah I get that's what we're meant to take away from it. Greedo shot first.
I still have a little trouble with it (no pun intended). She F'ed all three of those guys up real good, that wasn't just a "stab them in defense and run away". Maybe you can rationalize it away by saying she believed they were monsters, and so she needed to kill them, but still - the fact that she didn't *know* what she was doing, but still killed a bunch of people anyway, should give Nick pause.
