Grimm: 4x04 “Dyin' on a Prayer”

“Oh, remember that you fashioned me from clay! Will you then bring me down to dust?”

Nick: “Uh-oh.”
Monroe: "No, no, hear us out, and then you can "uh-oh.""

That was literally the best part of an episode. I wish we have spent more time focusing on the main problems instead of ping-ponging all over the place. I know they can’t tell us all the answers right away, otherwise the season will be extremely short. I just wish we had more scenes at Spice Shop, those were so much fun. I wish we had more Sean, he had nowhere near enough screen time. At least the case of the week wasn't boring and the next episode shapes to be much better.

It was as good time as any to introduce Grimm’s version of Golem narrative. At least it made the case of the week somewhat original and them chasing chunk of clay was very entertaining. It must have been so refreshing for Nick to finally being able to see something supernatural.  

So let me get this straight, for Adalind to be able to perform the ritual she had to be pregnant at one point, had to loose her powers at another point with a mandatory blood-sharing with Grimm part. Sounds like a hell lot of requirements that were all somehow surprisingly met. Talk about magic that is TV.

It made sense though that they would need Juliette to reverse the spell, since she (well at least her body) played a pivotal role in the original spell. Considering how much Juliette doesn’t want Nick to get his powers back, will she do it? I can’t wait to see who else has to do what else to return Nick his powers. I bet it will be fascinating.

Nothing more on Trubel’s “secret group” thing, other than she was smart enough to tell Nick the truth.

Again nothing new with sergeant Wu, other than him becoming very obviously suspicious of Nick and telling on him to Captain, who finally and thankfully is out of hospital bed and back at work.

Some observations  

I believe Elizabeth is the ugliest Hexenbiest we have seen so far.

I have no clue as to what the heck is going on with Adalind. My working theory is that she’s somehow imagining all these things and Victor is behind this elaborate torture.

Sara’s hospital room number was 404.















The faces in the walls that Adalind was seeing were very realistically well done.

Dudes in masks from previous episode were absolutely irrelevant to the story, at least for now. I guess Monroe and Rosalee won’t get away that easy with being happily ever after.

Memorable Quotes:

Hank: “I've heard of Russian mob guys pouring cement down an informant's throat, but Clay's a first.”
Nick: “Where would they get it all?”
Wu: “Maybe they brought a cement mixer...With a lot of Clay in it.”

Trubel: “Whoa, wait a minute. You're saying there's more than just wesen?”
Nick: “Yeah, actually.”
Trubel: “Oh, great. Just when I was getting a handle on this.”

Hank: “Residue from the jar matches the Clay at the crime scene.”
Nick: “So we have a murder weapon.”
Hank: “All we need is a "how in the hell," and we got this one wrapped up.”
Nick: “And how do we arrest a golem?”
Hank: “Or Ben praying for one.”

Hank: “We can't put an A.P.B. out on a mud slick.”

Sol’s rating:  I’d give 3. What do you think?
