Season 6 Episode 2 of NBC’s Grimm gave its fans another glimpse of how powerful both the “miracle stick” and little Diana are. While the two are not evil by nature or by choice but if the stick falls into the wrong hands and Diana falls under the wrong influence, both are potentially the biggest threats to Nick Burkhardt.

Spoiler Alert: This may contain spoilers to Grimm Season 6 Episode 2, if you have not watched the previous episode yet please proceed with caution.

Mystery Stick: Is it good or evil?

This is a good time to start wondering whether the miraculous but mysterious “stick is a good thing or an evil thing? At this point, I would like to think that it is either good or evil depending on who is in possession of it—thankfully, it is with Nick for now.

With the fact that Nick Burkhardt survived having been shot for several times, the stick seems to be a good accessory for any Grimm. But what if it can be used by just about anyone and not just Grimm’s. Any bad Wessen or half Wessen—say Portland’s new mayor, Sean Renard—can become invincible if he or she gets his hands on it.

Moving on, the other question I have in mind is, “Should Nick, or a Grimm, be really the rightful carrier of the stick? It should be noted that in the last episode, it seems as if the stick was calling Nick to it, almost putting him in a powerful trance and it was sort of creepy—like the “my precious” ring from “Lord of the rings” kind of creepy. By the look on Burckhardt’s face, i could not help but remember Gollum from LOTR.

With Season 6 being Grimm’s final season, I hope the writers have written something really good about this mysterious ancient thing. And please I hope it does not turn out to be something like Harry Potter’s magic wand—don’t take this negatively, I love Harry Potter.

Will Diana turn out to be a child of darkness or light?  

In Grimm Season 6 Episode 2, Diana was again able to demonstrate another one of her tricks. What she did at the spice shop--making the jars of spices levitate—while she was with Monroe also gave me the creeps. Obviously, Monroe was scared of her but such power was something that one can expect from the child of a hexenbiest.

On the other hand, Diana was surprisingly able to see the mysterious markings on the cloth that came with the stick. Those symbols were not visible to anybody else besides, Eve/Juliette who could only see three after the “death grip.” Temporarily setting aside the questions related to Diana’s power, fans can be thankful that she was able to draw those symbols on a piece of paper and that gives Rosalee something to work with so they can unravel the mystery of the stick and the cloth.

Now going back to little Diana, what else can she do? She keeps giving fans surprises. It is already obvious that she has superpowers that Nick and his team has never encountered before. She is far smarter and more powerful than the vile Bonaparte—thanks to little D he is dead.

In short, she is DANGEROUS. She can kill without having to be there, physically. She can astral project, move objects, and now she can see things not anybody else can easily see under normal circumstances...I believe she is capable o doing a lot more things.

With this, she is a potential threat to Nick…Given this, Diana will really need a lot of guidance from the right people—obviously, not her daddy Sean Renard who is, at the moment, hell bent on bringing nick down dead or alive.
Grimm Season 6 Episode 2 spilled another can of worms that viewers cannot wait to get explanations for.

I, myself, would love to know more on whether the stick or Diana is good or evil. What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts below.


In the meantime, here is one of the highlights from last Friday’s episode of Grimm.
