These words bring up the final episode of the little fairy tale show that could.
Let’s recap, one last time.
But it doesn’t take, and he screams in frustration.

Littering the floor around him are the bodies of his friends and coworkers, including Sgt.
Franco (Robert Blanche, who appeared in 30-plus episodes and stealthily endeared himself to the audience).
Trubel rushes in, absorbs the carnage, and falls to her knees next to Hank’s body.
Seems like a solid plan.
Naturally, Rosalee knows a spell forForce du Sang, which she describes as just this side of nuclear.
They apologize for their mistakes over the years, including the keys, Black Claw, and Bonaparte.
Renard promises to do everything in his power to protect them.
When Trubel pulls up, she hugs Adalind and side-eyes Renard.
“You’re supposed to be on our side now?”
Nick sends Monrosalee to the cabin separately so they can take off once the potion’s complete.
(Monroe packs the Thermos in a picnic basket, which is charming.)
After they leave, Eve apologizes that her blood won’t work for the potion.
Even though she screams at Nick to run, he catches her as she falls.
She whispers, “No regrets,” and dies in his arms.
Man,Grimmgave David Giuntoli a heavy acting job in the finale, and he kills it.
When Monrosalee arrive at the cabin, they run inside to explain the plan to Adalind.
Blutbaden grow up so fast, don’t they?
(This seems like a good way to spread blood-borne diseases, yo.)
This is my perpetual question when people make potions like this.
“He wants it, Nick.
He’s been looking for it for a very long time.”
Then the cabin shakes, and the Zerstorer strides through the door, demon face on.
He strikes his staff on the floor and knocks over everyone save Diana, whose eyes glow purple.
He unwoges and leads her away by the hand.
When papa bear Renard objects, Diana insists, “He wants me to be with him!
He needs me!”
Renard attacks the Zerstorer, vowing to die for his daughter.
The Zerstorer accommodates this request by slamming his staff through Renard’s chest.
Monroe then grabs theForce du Sang(while Rosalee shrieks “Don’t get it on you!”
which is excellent advice) and whips it at the Zerstorer.
This causes Adalind to perform an amazingly over-the-top shriek of “Trubel, ruuuuuuunnnnnn!”
so she can escape with Kelly, but the Zerstorer magically seals Trubel and the baby in the cabin.
Oh, did you think the preceding deaths were hard to watch?
Because now the Zerstorer starts killing in earnest, and it isawful.
Then Rosalee grabs the Zerstorer’s own staff, which morphs into a snake that bites her throat.
But he dies anyway, and Nick screams his grief to the sky.
Diana takes this all in stride, gesturing to Kelly and announcing, “We’re ready.”
But not so fast.
There’s still Nick, who growls, “You’ve taken everything from me.
You’re not going to take my son.”
As proof, he touches Trubel with his staff, and she wakes up with a gasp.
Nick strokes Kelly’s cheek (aww, he has a blanket with foxes on it!
), then says, “you might have it.”
The void in the staff where the stick belongs glows green, waiting to be made whole.
But Trubel intercepts the handoff, telling Nick not to make that deal.
(Easy for her to say; she’s the one who got brought back!)
She punches Nick and runs off with the stick.
As he heads back to the Zerstorer with the stick, he hears a voice telling him to stop.
It’s his mother!
“it’s possible for you to’t do what you want to do,” Kelly warns him.
The women insist that hecandefeat the Zerstorer.
“The strength we need, that we all need, comes from our family.
It’s where we’ve always found the way and the will to fight,” Kelly says.
Marie adds, “And with that, we can defeat any evil.”
Marie gets a good shot to the Zerstorer’s head, and Kelly cuts off an arm.
Finally, Nick grabs the staff, and the stick flies into it, making it whole.
“You wanted it?
Here it is,” Nick says, driving it into the Zerstorer’s heart.
Their foe vanquished, Nick asks the women how they knew he needed them.
Kelly says because they’re all descendants of the first Grimm, they felt it.
I like his name."
That sound is my heart, melting.
Then reality sets in, and he falls to his knees in front of Adalind’s body.
Poke her with the staff, Nick!
It worked for Trubel!
Instead, he notices the hated ring on her finger and tosses it away.
Then Diana comes outside to ask where “the other Grimms” fighting with him went.
That’s when he remembers the power of the staff.
“Oh my God.
I can bring them all back to life.”
“Mommy, it worked!
I got Nick back for you!”
Nick kisses her rapturously, and they’re all confused about his elation that everyone’s okay.
Wasn’t I?"
Wu asks when he, Hank, and Trubel arrive.
Then Diana looks at Eve and declares her a Hexenbiest again.
“He’s dead, and I’m not afraid anymore.”
Everyone looks on in concern as Nick continues to have a moment.
Then Monroe notices the Zerstorer’s staff.
“Where did this come from?”
Joy steals over Nick’s face when he realizes what this means.
(Mystery solved, everybody!)
Then Diana strides in, all bouncy ponytail, strong eyebrows, and sassy attitude.
“Mom and Dad are waiting.
We’ve got Wesen to kill,” she says.
“The triplets are coming, too.”
The family that slays together, stays together!
