Their family is descended from the original Grimms, and it’s been their job for hundreds of years to stop creatures like Zerstörer.
Unfortunately for Nick and his terrible plan, he ran into some unexpected and very familiar faces in the woods who changed his mind.
Yes, Nick met up with the spirits of his mom and his Aunt Marie, who told him that what he needed to do for himself was not what needed to be done for the sake of the world.
Despite Trubel’s valiant (and violent) attempts to stop Nick by grabbing the stick and racing away through the woods, Nick reclaimed the stick and headed back to Zerstörer, fully intending to trade it for the lives of those he loved.
