Who could have ever imagined that the most
awkward way to get his Grimm powers back would have been to turn Juliette into
Adalind and sleep with Nick like the Hexenbeist did? I guess the very first
minutes of this fifth episode of Grimm were a little funny to me. Mostly because Trubel’s
face when she’s listening to Elizabeth’s plan. While Rosalee and Monroe try to
make Nick and Juliette comfortable about this, Trubel only points out her
sarcastic comment - by speaking the truth: the spell needs to be done.
Also, poor Wu. When Nick and Hank are being called on the crime scene, he talks about a ‘wolf’ who scared a woman, Ava. At this point he says he’s ready to believe to everything. What his friends don't know, Wu is closer to know the truth, and I'd say finally.
Nick and Hank investigate on Ava Diaz, a rich
heir woman being driven to madness by her Luison, a kind of Sud-American Wesen.
Everybody says she’s mental instable, but Nick, Hank and Renard think it’s her
husband, Gabriel, to be the real Luison. Renard wants Theresa on the case too,
but Nick declines since he doesn’t want her to her more involved.
But our former Grimm has some other troubles to handle: Josh calls him telling some guys are looking for him; he wants to get rid of the rest of his Grimm’s father, then he mentions a key. It turns out, the Luison case is more stranger than it seems, when Gabriel and his twin brothers are involved. Three identical twins! In the end, Ava finds out her husband did all this for the money. Her sentences about "monsters" matches with Nick's reply "Some hide very well."

"I like being a Grimm." Well, finally Nick admitted it. Otherwise, let’s say, the show won’t be called Grimm. I think at some point, Nick misses his life fighting supernatural crime. Also, having another Grimm in town is better than let Trubel handle all those stuff. Juliette gets the confirmation when a Wolfsangel appears outside Burkhart's house.
"I'm ready."
"For what?"
"You need to be a Grimm again."
Beyond helping Nick to get his powers back, I wonder what's the purpose of having Juliette in the show? I keep asking season 4 started. Also, I really want Adalind to be the old strong Hexenbeist we saw in the first seasons. Give her more space, playing badass scene, I miss this. What do you think?
What do you miss most in Grimm? What do you think about Juliette's decision to hel Nick? Share your comments below.
Can you imagine the incredible standoff coming if Mama Renard finds the hiding place of Mama Nick and the baby and I am sure she will - who could pass that up. Diana, you wished for the old Adalind - be careful what you wish for. Her joining up with Victor should return her a bit to that, but then he really betrayed her when he lied about the baby to get her to take Nick's powers. I am sooo glad her hallucinations are over (figured all along she had been drugged and had never left her cell -- as you said-- it was too Alice in Wonderland for me). Grimm isn't Grimm without Nick having his powers so hopefully , with a few hiccups first as seen in the preview, by the end of the episode he will be back to full Grimmness. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteAdalind has been betrayed by everyone in her life -- and it could not have happened to a more deserving person--- so I wonder if an even worse hexenbeist might arise out of the ashes of her life. I think it is really reprehensible that Wu has been kept in the dark so long , for goodness sakes the poor man was put in a mental ward. When he does find out he will rightfully hate them all for letting him suffer so but I hope after a TV version of an adequate period of adjustment he eventually joins Team Grimm because I think it would be a lot of fun to have him bring his humor to the dynamics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading :) I've never said I want Adalind to team up with Vicktor - he's an evil man and he betrayed, like you said. Just I'm tired to see her treating like a pathetic mama looking for her child. I want her to be powerful and sarcastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! I like Wu, and I think when he'll confront Nick and Hank about the mysterious murders, he'd be mad at them, but eventually he'll come back soon, in a couple of episodes.
ReplyDeleteI liked this episode, but one thing that gets me frustrated is the fact that the villains of the episode be mentioned that they are narutal of São Paulo - Brazil and they talk to each other in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI am Brazilian, Brazil does not speak Spanish we speak PORTUGUESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
