Gasmii, that should catch you up to the very latest episode, Happily Ever Aftermath. I’ll be giving that a full recap so keep an eye out for it this week. In the meantime, let’s discuss a few things that have been lingering in my mind. Is Juliette naive or just really dumb because she hasn’t caught on that Nick is obviously doing something behind her back. What about Hank? He’s a detective for goodness sake and he hasn’t questioned how Nick always knows what is going on? What exactly is Renard and how does he play into the whole Wesen community? Obviously he’s very well connected and knows much more than Nick. Is Nick the only one who can see the creatures transform and do they only realize that Nick is a Grimm after they have transformed in front of him?
BONUS Minicap for Episode 20 – Happily Ever Aftermath
Happily Ever Aftermath is a retelling of the story of Cinderella so of course you have a step-sister who is gorgeous, an evil step-mother, a fairy godmother sworn to protect the daughter and two bitchy step-sister of lesser quality. Oh and don’t forget a charming prince! But within the world of Grimm there has to be more than the average fairytale so thrown in some Murcielagos whose vocal chords can shatter glass…and eyeballs. The story starts with a couple living the life that unexpectedly loses all their money in a Ponzi scheme. In an attempt to keep Cinderella happy, Prince Charming, under the advice of her godfather, attempts to ask his wicked step-mother-in-law for money. When that plan fails a bunch of people lose their lives and it is up to Nick to figure out who the real culprit is. Thankfully he has Monroe and a huge ass weapons cache to aide him.

So glad these are getting recapped again! Thanks, SG!
Love love love this show. Love the backstory they are finally starting to develop. My only complaint is that Nick reveals himself way too often. He’s not only a Grimm and needs to protect himself and Juliette, but he’s also a cop and NO cop goes around revealing such personal stuff. Especially the episode with the Reapers – it’s like he’s in an AA meeting: “Hi, I’m Det. Nick and I’m a Grimm”. I know I’m nitpicking, and it’s a minor irritation. I’m worried for them – he needs to move from his very well known residence.
Also, when Juliette cooked dinner for Monroe, did she really cook “vegan salmon” cuz that sounded gross.
Otherwise, looking forward to season 2!
I’ve been wondering the same thing about Juliette, Nick is obviously hiding ‘something’ from her. She’s either stupid or maybe knows his secret? I don’t know, but keeping a secret that big is just him being a douche. If he can’t trust her enough to tell her what he is, he shouldn’t be marrying her.
I don’t think the Wesen reveal themselves to Nick as much as him being a Grimm forces them to reveal themselves to him. It’s something only he and the Wesen are aware of at the time which is why they usually both get so squirrelly after it happens. What I don’t understand is how Renard can camouflage what he is from Nick and also how long has he known what Nick is. Because even before Aunt Marie came to town and told him about their family legacy Nick saw Adalind for a Hexenbiest.
As for Juliette and Hank, I see their not knowing or picking up on Nick as being more willful ignorance than naivete. They’ve both commented on how he’s been acting differently, and Juliette turned down his proposal because of it, but as long as they don’t know the truth it doesn’t exist to them.
I think this would be a much better show, and less cluttered, if they got rid of the Hank and Juliette characters, revealed to Nick that Reynard is a wessen and made Eddie more of a partner to Nick. They can keep Rosalee because her character contributes energy to the show and advances the plot.
Yay! I’ve missed being able to read about and discuss this! Flippit listens.
I have thought from the beginning of the season that Juliette will die before we get to Season Two. When the hot witch stayed alive and dewitched, my suspicion was strenghened. Having Nick tied down to a sweet but kind of plain girlfriend was a great way to establish his character as a good guy, but shows like this thrive on romantic spice and there just isn’t any in that relationship.
Not, by the way that I actually think Blondey Witch is hot. She totally annoys me. But I’m sure I’m in the minority on this.
Yippeeeee!. Happy this recap is back
Thanks so much for recapping this clever show. The Wikipedia page on the Creatures of Grimm adds a lot of fun because I think the backstory created for all the creatures is so great. The jägerbär disenbowels victims; they tend to be mortage lenders, lawyers, and politicians., etc. The schakale are jackal-like thieves; Hitler was one. We know that Captain Renard is royalty, as he was addressed as “your highness”. And I adore Monroe in all his quirkiness and his relationship with Nick.
Maryedith, you’re not alone. Blondey drives me nuts, too. I hope she’s gone, but considering she was even in the pilot, I doubt she’ll ever truly leave us. Maybe she can pull a Mystique and help Nick bring Renard down. That “you’re just a pretty girl” totally brought me back to Magneto’s looking at a now human Mystique and sighing “and she was so beautiful” before leaving.
@Vallegirl, I think the Wessen show themselves to other Wessen and Grimms when they are feeling extreme emotions. That’s why Nick can’t see if a dead body is a person or a Wessen. I also think the captain is so super icy and in control that is why he never reveals himself to Nick or to any of the other Wessen. Does that make any sense?
