“The Queen was terrified and offered the
little man all the riches of the kingdom,
if only he would leave the newborn child
alone”

Well, this was brutal.
I knew they wouldn’t give
the baby to Victor, yet right up until the very end I couldn’t get what exactly they were doing. What a
smart move! Pretend to have no other choice and give the baby to Royals to
avoid being killed, and then steal the baby back dressed as faceless Resistance
agents. The only thing I have to ask is why, why Adalind couldn’t be the one to
raise her child? Technically I know the answer, Adalind is part of the cast and
can’t disappear, and they couldn’t drag the baby plot any longer or any further, because baby
plots tend to become boring very quickly. There’s only so much they could have
done, kill little Diana or send her away. The third option is to have her grow
up at a fast rate. I think it is still an option. If this baby is so important, then
for her to play a pivotal role and not being a trophy to take by one side or
another she has to be of a certain age. If she doesn’t grow up fast, I doubt
we’ll ever see the real power she has and what the world will be with her in
it, because we can’t have 15 seasons of Grimm. Unless we can :)
I’m afraid the real power
that we will see fully unfold is Adalind’s. Not only she is a Hexenbiest again,
she is now a mother whose baby was taken from her. Boy, her reaction will certainly be
horrendous. Dear Captain ought to be careful from now on.
Claire Coffee knocked it out
of the park this week. Adalind became so likeable lately and to see her go through this was
very tough; I felt so
sorry for her Now, that is again a sentence I never thought I would write.
As tragic this episode was,
I laughed out loud more than once. How come they can come up with so many funny
lines for characters to say right in the middle of heartbreaking episode?
Some observations
I’m pretty
certain Adalind’s name was dropped in every single scene.
Strangely, I
find that there is more chemistry between Adalind and Meisner, than between
Adalind and Sean. Those are both very attractive people, but for me there is
zero chemistry.
I was so
into the story I missed the number of the episode. That’s second episode in a row.
That was a
funny moment when Hank thought he might be the father of the baby.
Diana’s
tricks are getting scarier and scarier. Was that a skull she drew using coffee
on the window glass?
Memorable Quotes:
Adalind: “So
we're back together?”
Sean: “I
guess so.”
Adalind: “You
don't seem too happy about it.”
Sean: “Well,
you did sleep with my brother.”
Adalind: “And
you slept with my mother.”
I think
they certainly redefined the meaning of incest.
Kelly: “Look,
we need a safe place for Adalind and the baby to stay. Not for long, just a
couple of days.”
Rosalee: “Where's
the baby's father?”
Nick: “That
would be the captain.”
Rosalee
& Monroe: “Your captain?”
Nick: “Yeah.
And he's coming too.”
Monroe: “Hold on. Let me just see if I've
got a handle on this. Your mom, your captain,
Adalind and
her baby and you are all coming here to stay?”
Nick: “No,
just Adalind and the baby. Look... I wouldn't ask if I knew a better way to do
this. I'll tell you the rest when I get there.”
Monroe: “There's more?”
Nick: “A
little bit.”
Hank: “Who's
the idiot father?”
Nick: “The
captain.”
Kelly: “Popular,
this Adalind.”
Rosalee: “Monroe, are you awake?”
Monroe: “Are you kidding? I never was
asleep in the first place. I'm too nervous we'd be killed
in our
sleep to... sleep.”
Wu: "Sir, you've got a visitor downstairs."
Sean: "Does this visitor have a name?"
Wu: "Uh, quite a name. His royal crown prince Viktor Chlodwig zu Schellendorf Von Konigsburg. I may have inadvertently dropped a burg or a dorf or two but..."
Sol’s
