Grimm - Chupacabra - Review

Dec 14, 2014

Share on Reddit

Monroe and Rosalee get ready for the honeymoon, but he’s nervous, he’s afraid anything could happen any moment against them. And he’s right when, later in the episode, Rosalee receives a threatening phone call and a hanged animal on her door. Apparently, someone doesn’t want them to be together.

Elsewhere, with Trubel gone, Nick and Juliette come back to their ‘normal’ life as a happy couple, while Viktor and Adalind work together in order to track Nick’s mother, Kelly, and hope to find Diana too - just a small scene with them even this week. How long do we have to wait till we'll see Adalind back in Portland?

The Wesen of the week involves a doctor named Diego, who's been bitten by a strange mosquito in the Dominican Republic. Back home, the doctor turns into a Chupacabra and attacks and kills a man and his dog. 

Nick, Hank and Wu are called on the crime scene where a witness says he’s sure who the killer is: the Chupacabra. At this point, Wu is ready to chase a vampire or a werewolf – and I don’t know if it’s just the stress to speak for him. I’ve imagined Wu doing researches day and night. Anyway, positive about what he's seen, Wu shows Renard something interesting: every strange murder case are handled by Nick and Hank, leaving him behind. Sean Renard just replies “Because they see things we can’t.” This won’t help Wu to stay away.

And since Chupacabra is Spanish, Juliette may know something about it. Meanwhile, she’s having a girl talk with Rosalee, telling her that she’s not pregnant. And she took the pregnancy test three times! This sounds weird.

Soon, Nick and Hank, with Juliette’s help, find out the Chupacabra is the original Woeldeor, which is a Wesen who contracted a disease that is going to bring him to death. In fact, Diego keeps turning into the creature and kills other people. Wu tracks down a call and goes to the crime scene, only to find the doctor and no one else around. It is revealed that Diego and his wife are indeed both Wesens.

Finally Wu confronts Nick and Hank about what he’s seeing and can’t explain. I liked how he stated that he doesn’t want to be in the dark anymore – they’re a team and he’s supposed to know what’s going on, although because he saw the books in Nick’s roulette! When Diego keeps getting worse, Nick and Hank must intervene to stop him. Wu is upset, and Nick can’t save him with the words “What you saw is real.” He needs to take time to think about it. Maybe drinking doesn’t solve everything when he's forced to spend the night in a prison.

Things couldn’t get any worse when Diego’s wife faints and turns into a Chupacabra – there are two of them? But it’s too late for Diego. He chose death over life, and he gets killed by Hank before he attacks Nick.

Last two scenes shocked me: Monroe gets kidnapped by the cops who were supposed to protect him and Rosalee, while Juliette looks herself in a mirror horrified. She’s turning into a Hexenbeist! Is this a side effect of the spell? Or just a sign that unconsciously Nick has a thing for Hexenbeists?

  1. LOL! "Nick has a thing for Hexenbiests." Wait until he finds out. Although, it might be fine if Juliette stays like that forever. Her Hexenbiest powers will come in handy.

    Loved the episode, but I'm always sad when a good, good person like Diego has to die. And seriously, doesn't Rosalee keep a check on her inventory? How is it she was left was only enough whatchamacall it for one dose?

    I'm glad Wu is finally confronting his suspicions, first with Captain Renard and then with Hank and Nick. If that's what it takes to be finally told the truth, so be it.

  2. I'm happy for Wu, but I guess knowing the truth really upset him - everything has a price.
    As for the Hexenbeist thing, wouldn't be funny? lol
    Thanks for reading! :)

  3. I hope he doesn't become dangerously anti-Wesen.

  4. I don't think so, otherwise he would be anti-Grimm too.

  5. That's what I'm afraid of.
