Once Monroe shows him that Renard is Juliette's lover, Nick can barely control the urge for illegal revenge. Assisted by just returned Rosalee, Monroe works out how the passion spell can be broken, and ultimately Renard convinces Nick they must work together. Meanwhile Adalind is released for lack of evidence and returns to Renard's traitor brother in Vienna, without the key, not knowing Renard found and stole it from Nick's desk.

* EurekaMoment:
** Realising the key is not in the trailer, Renard remembers seeing Nick slip something into his desk drawer at the precinct and finds it there.
** An offscreen variation: Monroe puts together everything he's seen regarding the Nick-Renard-Juliette mess and realises Renard woke Juliette from her coma, resulting in an out-of-control and dangerous obsession



-->'''Monroe:''' I can't wait to write the invitations to that party.
* FightScene: ''Of course'' occurs when Renard and Nick meet at the lodge. If Nick wasn't already pissed off enough over the Juliette situation, he's now realised that Renard stole the key from his desk. Quite a few blows are exchanged before Renard ends the fight by giving the key back (having already taken an impression of the map engraved on it).



* SanitySlippage: Renard and Juliette's mutual obsession deepens, resulting in literal shots fired. Monroe tells Nick that, without a solution, one of them will literally kill the other.

to:

* {{Irony}}: Realising Hundjager are in town looking for the key, Nick took the precaution of moving it from the trailer to the precinct. As Renard has now found the trailer, that seems like a smart move. However, its hiding place in the trailer was a secret drawer Renard showed no signs of finding in his search, while at the precinct Nick just shoved the key in ''his own desk drawer'' and called it good. Really, it was safer where it was.
* SanitySlippage: Renard and Juliette's mutual obsession deepens, resulting in literal shots fired. Monroe Rosalee tells Nick that, without a solution, one of them will literally kill the other.
-->'''Rosalee:''' If this spell is allowed to progress much further, one of them is going to kill the
other.\\
'''Nick:''' Does anything ''not'' end in death?\\
'''Monroe:''' Ummm...\\
'''Rosalee:''' No, not really.\\
'''Monroe:''' Not that I know of.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
** Juliette, when Nick and Renard both turn up on her doorstep. In fact, they've decided to work together to solve the obsession problem (although it still does suck).
** Variation where Monroe, Rosalee and Renard all hold this attitude on Nick's behalf as he takes the purification potion.

Oh, wait, Nick's mother killed her. Never mind. Here's a solution requiring the cat that scratched Juliette! Oh, no, that died too. All that's left is for Nick to take the same potion Renard did (the really agonising one) and then get himself, Renard and Juliette all working together.

-->'''Monroe:''' What is it?\\
'''Nick:''' Quadruple homicide.\\
