“I am glad ‘tis night, you do not look on me,
for I am much ashamed of my exchange.”

Hank: “Well, when you have someone
that loves you, that can get you through a lot of bad.”
Oh, boy! Way too many things
happened in this one. Lots of revelations, someone’s past has come back to not
to haunt, a hell of a kitchen fight, a strong friendship, an old love, a new
love and a young love. And did they just actually compare “being Wesen” to
“being gay”?
I am not a fan of
gangs-related episodes, so I’ll make it brief. One gang, 7th Street Savages slash Yaguaratés, may be moving to Portland. The local gang, North End
Crew slash humans, isn’t too happy about it, so they decided to attack the
leader of a rival gang Alonzo Banks and his girlfriend, killing the former and sending
the latter to the hospital.
Now, that’s
out of the way, let’s talk about what matters. Love was in the air throughout
the episode. Obviously universe decided to give Hank another chance with his
therapist-lady, making her little brother a murder witness. Nothing brings
people together more than fear of death and a night at a nice motel safe
house. Hank had a chance to be a knight in shining armour, even though she
didn’t quite need his protection. It was somewhat disappointing to find out
that Zuri and her brother were Yaguaratés. Because after the
reveal I looked back and it make the premise of the episode kind off pointless. Why did she run
in fear when two gang members came to her apartment for Jared? She could have
easily taken both of them out. Why was Jared so afraid in the beginning
and throughout the episode when he obviously can take care of himself. It
just made no sense. It would have been better and frankly more believable, if the writers made them human. Instead they ruined a nice plot for a cheap surprise.
Moving on. Apparently
‘coming out’ as Wesen is a big deal for some. Rosalee had a hard time accepting
who she is, which led to some bad choices. Now, she is very much comfortable in
her skin, living with Monroe
and having friends like Nick and Juliette. She is in so much safer place now,
that she is able to share glimpses of her past with Monroe and others.
Alicia has the same problem,
denying who she is, pretending Wesen don’t exist and afraid to show her true
face to her best friend. Having an abusive jerk as a husband certainly didn’t
help.Now she has people in their
lives that understand her and accept her. I was also glad they didn’t drag this story.
Her husband didn’t deserve to be a part of anything and how appropriate and satisfying it was that Juliette and Alicia fought him off and not Nick.
But having people who know
who you are and accept it isn’t enough for Zuri. Whereas Hank is willing to date
her knowing she’s Yaguaraté not to mention cover up the murder [justified, yet still a murder] she
committed, Zuri is not so
open to a relationship. To be continued, I guess.
This episode made me think
about Wesen vs. humans. We were never told [at least I don’t think we were] the
actual figures in terms of population. Lately it seems like humans are overrun
by Wesen.
Some observations
It was a nice moment when
Alicia decided to show Juliette how she looks. And what a cute little Fuchsbau she is. Juliette's reaction was wonderful.
I caught
the number of the episode again – Zuri’s apartment.
