Grimm: 6x06 “Breakfast in Bed”

Monroe: “Well, like the man said, life is a nightmare that prevents one from sleeping”.

While Nick and Hank were trying to solve the mystery of a locked room in a local hotel, Rosalee, Monroe and Eve solved the stick/cloth puzzle.  Simply put - another day in wesen infested Portland.

While poor tortured guest of this hellish sleep depriving B&B was locking doors and windows making sure no one could get in, specifically checking under the bed I flashed back to when I was like 5 or 6 years old and did exactly that (just one time, mind you) - checked under the bed to make sure no one was there. Anyone else? No one? Okey…. Let’s go back to Grimm, then.

So, it is the calendar, ladies and gentlemen. And we have a date – March 24^th. For those of you who haven’t checked yet, it is not a finale, as one could assume, but a date of penultimate episode. It suddenly became less ominous. I wonder what exactly is going happen on this day? What’s so important that it was written on the map and ciphered so severely, that I barely understood the logic behind the explanations? We don’t have any visible threat since the Black Claw gracefully died out. We don’t even have a decent villain since Captain America is now… What is he now? Half tortured-half haunted-half insane shadow of his previous self?

Meisner’s spirit who only Sean could see so far, all of a sudden got strong enough to affect the real people and objects. Interesting, what’s  more interesting was why on earth would he decide to help Sean? That team work reminded me of good times that are long gone, but it was cringe worthy memory recollection considering Meisner’s dead and Sean… Yep, am loosing words every time I want to write about him. Meisner’s spirit said he helped Sean because he is on the right side now. But see, I don’t think he is. He didn’t exactly choose sides, he just sent Black Claw guy with a funny name to hell and refused to take orders. That is not ‘choosing the right side’, that is giving up in a coward attempt to get himself out of a predicament he got into because his hunger for power was insatiable. Here! I finally found the words.

Eve is sleeping in Diana’s bed, where is Diana? This whole sleeping arrangement at Nick’s loft was weird, as Hank duly noted. I mean, it must have been really awkward for all of them. Nick and Adalind in the bedroom with Juliette on the couch. Well, Eve, but you know what I mean.

Some observations  

Episode’s opening quote was: “Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never be born at all” said German poet Heinrich Heine. Well, I for one would argue with this logic…

I did not catch the number of the episode anywhere, and I thought having a hotel as a crime scene we were bound to have one, but no. Did the writers give up, or am I so inattentive?

Monroe undercover was a lot of fun, as usual.

Yep, this episode proved once again – ‘No good deed goes unpunished’.

Lynk, with a Y, was the LOL moment. He was so happy the bad owner was caught that he wolged in a glorious laughter. If he wasn’t that old I bet he would break into a dance.

 

That Alpe lady was pretty stupid; when a Grimm gives you a way out, you take it. End of story.

Memorable Quotes:

Monroe: “This appears to be alphabetic, logographic, symbolic, syllabic. I mean, we need our own Rosetta Stone to crack this mess.”

Hank: “Got a fun one. Someone woke up in a bad mood, smashed a guy's head into the  pavement.”

Nick: “You're happy about this?”

Hank: “No, but I'll take a cold-blooded murder over an unsolvable ancient riddle about the universe any day. The only Big Bang Theory I wanna deal with is the one from a gun.”

Sol’s rating: I think this one deserves a 4.
