Grimm - Headache + Cry Havoc - Review

Hi Grimmers! Sorry if I couldn't be able to review the last two episodes of Grimm but I have been really busy, so I've decided to put them together, since this season finale has been crazy.

SHORT PLOT: In episode 41, Headache, Nick and Hank get closer to uncovering the identity of the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper. Meanwhile, Juliette solidifies a new alliance with Prince Kenneth, as she works to get her revenge. Also, Trubel, Kelly Burkhart and Diana return to Portland.

We left with Juliette controlling Nick and his loaded gun against Monroe. Thanks to Hank, who manages to push Monroe out of the gunsight. As Juliette's totally lost her mind, Rosalee feels pain because she almost watched her husband got killed.

Then, we arrive to Sean Renard and his bleeding story. Is it going to end? The answer is yes. The gang gets a call by Jack the Ripper, thinking he's holding the Captain hostage. Sorta. Sean's been possesed by Jack the Ripper indeed - I guess most of people around here have figured out their connection, so bravo! Even if he wasn't himself, Renard still killed those prostitutes, and he was about to kill Wu too when the two are left alone in the car. With Adalind's advice, Rosalee creates a potition to convince Jack to leave Renard's body. How? He must be sure Sean he's dead, so he can leave him for good. And it works. Renard is finally free, but the homicide needs to be solved.

Kenneth and Juliette are working on their plan to kill Kelly Burkhart and they even have time to spend together. In Nick's bedroom. Actually when Juliette steps into the house, she's surrounded by memories of her and Nick so I guess she sleeps with Kenneth because she wants Nick to feel how she felt when he slept with Adalind. Hell hath no fury like a Hexenbeist scorned. After that, she calls Kelly with an excuse and finds also Diana, who seems older than a baby child now. As Juliette takes her, Kelly gets brutally killed - offscreen, we couldn't see Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, too bad. While we can rejoyce because Trubel is back with the Grimm Team, we can't say we're happy with the end of the episode, when the Royals leave a 'surprise' box for Nick. Inside, there's his mother's head.

SHORT PLOT: In the season finale called Cry Havoc, on the heels of a shocking discovery, Nick is hellbent on getting revenge and taking the fight to the Royals with help from Trubel. Meanwhile, Juliette’s alliance continues to lead her down a dark path.

After the discovery of Nick’s mother’s head in a box, the Grimm is still screaming desperately. How can we blame him? It was a shock to me either. Anyway, he hasn't the time to mourn that Trouble and Hank reminds him this might be a trap. Quickly, she tells Nick about the Wesen she previously slayed in the alley. They needed Truble right now. Her bad ass attitude, and now her self-control is what they need if they want to win the battle against the Royals. As Nick realize Juliette called her mom and got her into a trap, he is ready to get revenge for what his former fiancée did: he wants her dead.

Meanwhile, Kenneth has Diana with Juliette by his side - or at least, that's what they believe. I think Juliette may start having second thoughts on what she did, but anyway it's too late to come back to normal. Also, it's time for the little girl to meet her grandfather aka the King.

Then finally we have some action when Kenneth and Nick confront each other and fight. Nick's dark side comes to surface; it's impossible to describe in words what he's been throught, but we can only imagine the pain in his face when he saw her mother's head, brutally assassinated. Eventually, Nick gets his revenge and kills Kenneth by stabbing him in the neck.
Did we forget about Captain Renard? With Jack the Ripper gone, he needs someone to be accused for murdering all those prostitutes. So he decides to blame Kenneth's death body, and that's how the Portland justice saves the day.
Back to Nick, he is a fury: he is determined to kill the Royals once and for all - I was expecting him to turn into a zombie-Nick for a second - but he's stopped by Hank, Wu, Truble and Monroe: they have a plan. They manage to sneak into the house where the Royals lay and they entertain an epic showdown.

While the gang is busy with the Royals, Rosalee and Bud take care of a very pregnant Adalind. They even chatt about Nick and Adalind's child - I mean, the writers have been teased their relationship this season, and this was just another clue to add. Don't you agree?

Meanwhile, the King and Juliette are headed for the helicopter with Diana, taking off before Nick can even reach them.

Nick looks defeated. He couldn't save Diana. As he comes back home, he finds Juliette. She didn't get on the helicopter. She realizes she made some mistakes and apologizes in her own way. Again, it's too late: the confrontation is inevitable. Juliette is obviously more powerful than him, and he can't killer her until Trubel enters and shoots her with two arrows to the upper torso. She dies in Nick's arms. There's no time to rest: someone outside is ready to "Get her" (get Juliette maybe?).

The twists still don't end: we see someone on the helicopter throw the King out while Diana looks on with a giggle. When the man shows his face, we realize that it’s a man that was present when Adalind gave birth to her.

Season 4 was a blast. Did Juliette really die? Are the writers really going to explore Nick and Adalind's relationship? Also what about Diana now? Too many questions need to be answered and sadly we have to wait till season 5.
Thanks for reading my reviews and stick with me till the season finale.
