You could be right about ED; I've seen her in a couple of movie roles, as well, but in retrospect, they weren't great movies, so they might not have been much of a showcase for her.
SPOILER SPACE for anyone else who might come down the bunny trail and not want quite this much info. :D
The Grimm spoilers, summarized since I couldn't find the image on the forum when I went back to try to track it down tonight, consisted of a lot of scene location/cast lists/prop lists (which were pretty cool), as well as some scene descriptions.(This ep, if you haven't read the little blurb on it that was floating around, is called "Natural Born Wesen," and is about a couple of scorpion-Wesen who have this kind of Bonnie-and-Clyde bank robber gig going.)
The scene descriptions included Nick and Hank going after these two suspects (Cole and Crystal, I believe the names were) in what sounded almost like a warehouse kind of setting. Something tips them off, and Nick and Hank end up dodging gunfire.
Another scene sounds as if Hank goes to arrest one or both suspects, but without Nick.
Now, the bits I found *really* interesting were these: the cast members/characters are numbered on this form, and according to the numbers assigned to them, there are scenes that take place in the spice shop for which Nick, Juliette, Monroe, Rosalee, and one other character are present. The fifth character doesn't appear to be Hank, since the number doesn't match his. The descriptions on these scenes were partially covered, but what I could read of them ran as follows:
"Spice Shop, interior. Nick's POV [unreadable] out of it; something else has to be done." "Spice Shop, interior. Rosalee pours [unreadable, but it starts with "t" so I'm guessing "tea"] for everyone." "Spice Shop, front room. Monroe adds Nick's blood to the liquid."
There were also a couple of other scenes that mentioned Monroe and Rosalee making a call, and either bringing up or bringing out a trunk, and that seemed to have Monroe talking to a group of people (the numbers given for these didn't correspond to anyone listed on this particular page) and trying to calm them down.
My personal spec on this is that it sounds as if Nick is injured or ill (I'm wondering, given the featured creature, if he's been poisoned); the "Nick's POV" bit sounded, to me, like a camera angle meant to be his perspective, and I can't think why they would do that unless they're showing him as kind of semi-conscious -- or "out of it." It also seems to me like if Juliette is there, something big must be going down. If they're all standing around drinking tea in the shop, then they must be waiting on something -- Nick's treatment to take, maybe? And Monroe working some kind of mojo with Nick's blood made me wonder if they're testing to see what's in his system. Finally, it struck me odd that Hank would be undertaking an arrest without Nick -- unless Nick's been benched, somehow.
The one thing no one could suss out was who this fifth character might be. Hank would seem like the obvious choice, but the number didn't match the one assigned to him on this form, and there was no corresponding character/actor listed for this number on the form, either. The number in the scene is 5, which, considering how the rest of them matched up (Nick was 1, Hank was 2, Juliette 3, etc) would seem to indicate it's Renard, to me -- but I'm going by the way they're billed in the credits, and that may not be exactly the system in use here. I'm not sure how plausible I find it that Renard would be there with that whole group, *especially* if something's wrong with Nick, and to me it really sounds like that's what is happening. It's odd to me that whoever is "5", that person isn't listed on the sheet with the rest of them.
Now my first impression from what you've told me is that Renard and Juliette and Rosalee and Monroe and Nick are in the same spot drinking tea and needing a drop of someone's blood because they're trying to fix the mixup with Juliette's memory/attachment. Adalind needed blood for her spell on Hank if I remember correctly. So perhaps they need Nick's blood to help undo what Adalind did to Juliette?
Someone else suggested that, as well, andwhile I can see that as a possibility for the bit about Nick's blood, I can't see any of them being remotely civil to Renard, given what's happened, and the footage from the promo of Nick and Renard beating the hell out of each other. I'm also currently running with the theory that it's Renard Juliette is going Annie Oakley on in the preview. I just can't quite get to a scenario that works in my head in which Renard would be in the midst of this particular group of people and *not* be in immediate danger of being set on fire or eaten.
ANd while I could see Nick's blood playing a part in the memory curse, since he's the one Juliette has forgotten, I don't know about the obsession. (I mean hey, it's fiction, and magic, so anything is possible. Though truthfully, I'd like the key to Juliette's lost memories to be non-potion related, myself. I'm hoping there's something she has to do herself that does the trick.) And if it's the memory thing, there would be no need for Renard to be there, since that had nothing to do with him. I'm also not sure I think that they would combine the resoultion of the obsession storyline with a case-of-the-week; to me, it seems more like we'd get the ending of the J/R story in the second part of the cliffhanger. I kinda don't see them writing that arc resolution as sharing the spotlight. I think we might see the end of the obsession in the next episode. It's really served its purpose: Renard's been unmasked to Nick. There's the J/R ickiness to come, from the looks of things -- and who knows, maybe there will be something in the midst of that that snaps them both out of it -- but I think the ultimate point of that storyline was to reveal Renard to Nick.
And that "Nick's POV" thing really sticks with me. If it were just the mention of his blood being added to whatever it's being added to, I think my first thought would be that it's being used as an ingredient of some sort, but taken in connection with that bit, I tend to think they're doing some diagnosing. I don't know why else there would be a shot that's supposed to be from his point of view unless it were meant to convey a less-than-optimal mental or physical state. If there were spellwork going on that was affecting Juliette and Renard, I would think we'd see something from one of their points of view.
