“Still, after a short time the family’s distress again worsened,
and
there was no relief anywhere in sight.”

Nick lives! So do Monroe’s parents! Not
that I was worried that any of them would get eaten up. Did you? To be honest I wasn’t thinking much
of that last scene of the previous episode because it seemed it aired ages ago.
He is a vegetarian, friends
with Grimm and engaged to Fuchsbau – Monroe
must be a total disappointment in the eyes of his parents who follow the rules
to the letter AND believe in those rules. How they managed to raise a son like Monroe is a mystery to
me.
Monroe was really upset about his parents’ reaction, but he had to have known
they would react this way. Without giving them any kind of heads-up, did he
really think it would go smoothly? He is about to enter into a mixed marriage
and he fights on Grimm’s side, no wonder his parents went ballistic. However I got
a feeling that he was far more upset with Nick, who once again came because he
needed something. Yes, the series is called “Grimm”, not “Monroe and Nick”, so no one
expect them to sit on a porch and talk about life, however I do get where
Monroe is coming from. Nick only comes to him if and when he needs some
wesen-related information, but at the same time he is not just using Monroe for info, those two are
friends who saved each other’s life probably more than they can count, and quite frankly all
Nick's relationship on the series one way or another revolve around all
things Grimm. Having said all that, I do miss Monroe/Nick dynamic of the early seasons.
Moving on. Stefania is
working for Prince Victor. Did they just make it up? I could swear he didn’t
know about the baby until he caught Adalind applying that death cream on her
belly. It does however make sense, who else would pay more for this child than
the royal family itself. I still don’t understand though what is the deal with
the royal baby; if anything it could be considered as a threat to anyone holding
power these days.
Sean managed to save
Adalind, but in doing so he completely exposed Sebastian. Now that Victor and Stefania will
be searching for a traitor, I worry they might find him. Plus, if they catch
Adalind, she would sell him out in a second. Unless she won’t have a chance,
now that baby is about to be born and “change the world”, if I’m right in
assuming that this baby is that “something really bad, that comes next”
according to Monroe’s
dad. We got the confirmation that it is not Adalind’s powers, it’s the baby’s,
so it could potentially be interesting. Wild guess is they will do it a la
“Falling skies” and the baby will be an adult by the end of the next episode.
Otherwise it could get very boring very quickly.
Last but not least… no,
scratch that, the very least, the killer or more accurately killers. How
come there were two of them and then three? I though the more scalps he takes
the stronger he gets, how did that turned into more killers? Did I miss some
explanation? Quite possibly I did, since during the whole Monroe's speech about “needing to know who Nick
is dealing with” and “it being really bad” and “nothing like they have ever
encountered” I kept thinking “I heard it all before”. Lately it seems
like every other perpetrator is always believed to be a myth, or impossible, or
out of fairy tales. What happened to good old regular Wesen? I like it when
case of the week involves some wesen that we already know; it adds a personal
touch to a story. In other words, please bring Bud back!
Anyway, Nick went Dalila on “the most dangerous wesens he ever met” and killed them by cutting off their
hair, wrapping this whole investigation nicely and in a way that made sense.
When they drag the story over two episodes that air like month apart, it is
hard to stay in a momentum. So I almost didn’t pay attention to the case
details, but Monroe’s
dad helping in that final fight was a lot of fun, as was the fight itself. Monroe
and Nick discussing strategy under truck was a hoot.
I liked that even thought all our heroes
(except for Hank) kissed and made up and were having a civilized dinner, Monroe’s dad is still
adjusting to his son’s life, it felt believable.
Some observations
Sebastian
and Sean’s entire conversation was in English, I bet they are tired of
subtitling.
I think
they should have made Juliette a historian, the things the girl is able to find
on the Internet, as opposed to Nick who doesn’t but who is a detective and has
the same Internet at his disposal, make for a silly storytelling. Including her
into the story just for the sake of including her into a story is lazy. They could as easily
have Nick or Hank dig it up and Juliette still had things to do in the episode.
End of a rant.
The Verrat
agent that came after Adalind really deserved to die horribly for kicking a
pregnant woman!
Vertrautheiten
– is when different kind of wesen do… what exactly? Sniff each other out? Kiss? What was that? For a second there I was worried for Rosalle, she is so
adorable in her Fuchsbau form, whereas
Monroe’s mom as
Blutbad is not.
Monroe’s parents stayed in room 313.
