You guys, Trubel is coming back this week! Does anything else even matter? Oh, yeah, Nick was getting ready to shoot Monroe. Let's start there.

So in the spirit of starting things off right, it's Hank to the rescue - he pushes Monroe out of the way as Nick fires the gun and everyone is safe. Well, everyone but Juliette, as Rosalee is pretty much ready to bludgeon her to death at this point, and no one else seems interested in stopping it. Nick does call Sean to warn him and Jack the Ripper answers instead. I forgot about that guy already as I am WAY too excited to see Trubel again and cannot properly focus on last week right now.

Hank, Wu, and Nick hurry over to make sure Sean is all right, and he seems a little flustered at the unexpected company bursting in on him in his PJs. He's even more flustered to hear that Jack's been answering his calls, and when they go to check on Henrietta, that being his last stop, they find her dead. Sean tells Hank and Nick about his recent issues, obviously afraid of what's happening to him, and they urge him to go home and rest. He tries, but when he wakes from another nightmare it appears Jack is looking for a new home in Sean... or has he been in there for some time?

Juliette is very excited to hear Adalind may not be the Hexenbiest she once was. She takes Kenneth to Nick's, as well as some hench-Wesen to take out the neighbors, and though she flashes back to some of her good moments with Nick she readily shows Kenneth around. They take a particularly long look at the bed, leaving it nice and disheveled for Nick to discover.

Nick does indeed discover the bed and goes to see Adalind, who is convinced the potion must have worked and that Nick is there to get rid of her. He assures her that is not the case and tells her about Sean's problems. She tells Nick Sean must have died and brought something back with him when his mother pulled him back to the land of the living, and that the only way to get rid of it is to kill Sean again.

They head to the station and talk with Sean, who tells them about his latest rough night and the voice he heard in his head. They break the news to him that they've seen surveillance footage of him driving late at night when he thought he was in bed. He's frightened to realize he may be the killer and Nick takes his gun. They assign Wu to guard Sean and keep him from killing anyone else while they figure out what to do. An ominous look from Sean - Jack - tells us Wu is probably in danger.

Rosalee brews up a potion to mimic death in Sean, and the group agrees that they will have to make Sean believe he's actually dying if they have any hope of convincing Jack to leave. At home, Sean starts to bleed again and freaks out, then writes a message on the mirror with his bloody finger. He runs out of the house and assaults Wu before taking him hostage and driving off in the squad car. He takes Wu to pick up a prostitute, which seems like a reasonable activity for a guy and his boss, and Wu tries like mad to escape.

Nick and Hank go looking for Sean and find him missing with no sign of Wu. They do find the message on the mirror - 'welcome back, Jack' - and then they find Wu once they have the car tracked. They handcuff Sean and take him to the spice shop, giving him a story about the potion simply helping his memory. Poor, sad Sean agrees to take it and they all watch as he grows tired.

And then we get to Trubel! She surveys the rubble at the trailer before going to Nick's. While she lurks around outside - man, have I missed Trubel and her lurking - Juliette finds a drawer full of photos, leading to a memory or two of Nick. Do you suppose there's any of the old Juliette buried beneath all that crazy? Kenneth calls her from his position at the neighbor's house to tell her there's someone outside, but Trubel takes off to do a little Wesen beheading.

The phone rings at Nick's and Juliette answers. Kelly is back and she's got Diana with her - and how much time has passed, exactly? This kid is not a baby. Kelly finds herself in a bit of a situation when all the Wesen move in, and Juliette reaches for Diana, who looks like she's at least five. Kenneth appears, having taken care of Kelly (dead or hostage?), and Juliette doesn't look so confident about what she's doing anymore. She rides away with Kenneth and Diana - is she joining the royal family?

Rosalee hovers over Sean and just as it appears the potion is working, Jack is back and he grabs her. The group opens fire and Sean drops to the ground, but they've used rubber bullets and Sean's not dead. Gray smoke escapes his mouth, so perhaps it was Jack leaving, and they revive him. He opens his shirt and his scars fade away, but before the celebration can begin Trubel arrives. No time for a happy reunion just yet - Trubel informs Nick things aren't right at his house. That's an understatement, because when they arrive everyone is gone but they've left him Kelly's head in a box. Poor Nick is inconsolable, and it would appear it's all about to hit the proverbial fan in next week's season finale.

What sorts of cliffhangers are you expecting to see next week? Any explanation for Diana's advanced age? Is Juliette feeling any remorse for what she's done? Does it even matter, as Nick may never forgive her now?
