The dedication to bury a body standing up isn’t lost on them. Wu is a little off his game (headache), but he gives them the guided tour of the body which is still buried up to the neck. And then Nick and Hank get a call about a body… without a head. When Nick finds the origami dog, Brian’s father gets angry, saying that Jin Akagi, the father of the boy Brian was convicted of killing, was behind Brian’s death. The parents reveal why Brian was so angsty: he and his friend Roger accidentally shot and killed his friend last year and were convicted of accidental manslaughter a few weeks before. They go see the parents and get a guided tour of the basement before they have to tell the parents that their kid was dead. Uh oh.Īt the station, Wu brings Nick and Hank a missing person’s report. It’s all business as usual until her boss woges and tells her how they’ve missed having a hexenbiest on staff. So glad that he okayed her bringing her kid. On Adalind’s interview, her old boss is delighted to see her. They go investigate but there’s not much to go – no surveillance, no blood trail, no… body – so they will have to rely on missing person reports. That’s when they get the call about the head. When Nick gets to the station he fils Hank in on everything (Renard and Adalind), too. So Monroe and Rosalee volunteer to go exploring while she’s on her interview. He can’t exactly go spelunking with his hexenbiest girlfriend Adalind around. He explains where he hid the stick, the door he pried open, and that he has no idea where the tunnel goes. Nick explains the whole tunnel situation to Monroe and Rosalee. The next morning he wakes up and checks for the forest, but it’s just a forest. So he does what anybody would do: goes running. He opens it and there is, of course, a magical forest. Luckily he sees a light (and fog) shining from underneath his bathroom door. In another bed in Portland, Wu is waking up breathless and disoriented. I don’t care what they say: these two are in a relationship. So it’s a Grimm and Hexenbiest in bed, both hiding and/or lying, discussing domestic matter. He wakes her up and she takes the opportunity to tell Nick that she has an interview at her old law firm tomorrow. But now he’s doing it late at night because he’s still hiding that magical German stick and lying about it to Adalind. Nick is still crawling around in the tunnels. In keeping with their tradition of secrecy, they decide to not tell Adalind that Nick knows – ostensibly so she can tell him and somehow regain his trust.Īcross town, in Renard’s bed, he and Rachel are post-coital and discussing his family plans a married mayoral candidate is more likely to become Mayor. Nick tells Monroe and Rosalee everything that Eve told him: Renard, Rachel, and the Adalind warning.Īnd Rosalee gets her shifty “oh-shit” eyes and then says those words you never want to hear: “She didn’t say anything to you?” Then she spills everything about the Tony-with-the-broken-fingers storyĪnd includes a bit of she is afraid you’ll kill her to help him understand. And then he’s decapitated with the very hygienic katana we saw earlier. When he wakes up, he is buried up to his neck. Almost immediately there’s a Wesen inches away from Brian. Brian sends him away, but when he goes back downstairs, there’s an origami lion on the coffee table. The son, Brian, takes a break from playing video games to forage through the fridge for food. As the camera pans out, we see a hooded shadow outside the basement window. His mom doesn’t force him to answer, but she does nag him until he agrees to call his friend back “as soon as leaves” so obviously that was a lie. He is, in fact, hiding in his parents’ basement playing video games. The angsty kid is not answering his cell. Somewhere else in moist Portland, a couple is getting ready to go out for the night when their angsty teenage son’s best friend, Roger, calls looking for him. Then she steps back out into the rainy Portland night. And she reminds Nick that Adalind’s hexenbiest suppressant will wear off and the dear, sweet Adalind he’s grown to know and love – have a complicated relationship with – will disappear. We are left hanging about the sword for a bit, but Eve wastes no time in divulging the spoils of her recent… um… recon… with Rachel Woods.* Renard is cooperating with Black Claw. We start this week’s episode with two unsettling shots: someone ceremonially cleansing their katana and Eve hexenbiesting Nick’s car door open and getting in, cloaked like she’s on her way to grandmother’s house. Revenge is the act of passion, vengeance is an act of justice.
