GRIMM: 5 Things to Know About the Season 5 Premiere

Could Grimm have left fans with any more of a cliffhanger last season?

From the sudden and violent death of Nick's mother Kelly, to the also sudden and violent death of Bitsie Tulloch's Juliette -- a series regular from the very first episode -- last season's finale served up a series of shocks that kept fans talking over the long hiatus.

Is Juliette really dead? What revenge path is Nick on this season? And where will former nemesis Adalind and her new baby fit into Nick's life now, if at all?

The show returns in typically timely fashion on October 30 (just in time for Halloween) with "The Grimm Identity," an episode which will pick up on those dangling threads and pull the show in a new direction this year.

We've seen the first couple of episodes a little early, thanks to our friends at NBC, and have a series of teasers to share with you on what's to come.

If you’re a regular reader of these types of articles here at ScreenSpy, then you’ll know we do our best to avoid spoiling major developments and plot lines that might otherwise ruin your enjoyment of the episode (we want you to enjoy it as much as we did).

For that reason, we consider the following carefully structured and worded points to be teasers rather than outright spoilers.

However, as always, we urge you to be cautious, as one man’s teaser is another man’s spoiler.

Here then are 5 things you might like to know about Grimm's Season 5 premiere "The Grimm Identity."

And Baby Makes Three

“Don’t hate me anymore, Nick. For our son’s sake, we can’t be like we were.” AKA Words you thought you’d never hear coming from the mouth of Adalind Schade.

It seems Adalind’s new baby — along with her temporary humanity — has wrought a change over our favorite former Hexenbiest.

Or maybe it’s the fact that Adalind is alone, vulnerable and with no place to live? We’re not entirely sure (we’re not entirely sure Adalind is entirely sure either) but the truce between these two famously contentious characters will bring a small and welcome oasis of peace to the action-heavy opening episodes.

And in perhaps the most poignant peace offering yet, Adalind will give her new baby a name that touches Nick deeply.
