Yeah,, well we don’t want any.
Nick gets to their house and there is no Juliette and no Adalind. (Sweet justice!) Nick hears footsteps in the house though so he pulls him gun and aims it at……. Monroe. Okay, I’m calling bullsht here because when Nick walked in he was screaming “Juliette! Juliette!” And with all those wood floors you can’t tell me that Monroe didn’t hear it. Anyway, Monroe went over because he was worried about Juliette too after Nick told him about Adalind being back. They worry that they are too late. (Woo-hoo!)
So raise your hands in the air…
and wave ‘em like you just don’t care.
Nick keeps trying to call Juliette, but we find her with Adalind… having coffee. Ugh. I was hoping for duct tape and a syringe full of something. Juliette is telling Adalind about her and Nick’s problems and how they started about the time that she was scratched by Adalind’s cat. Juliette asks where Adalind has been and Adalind says that after her “break-up” with Hank (read, foiled murder plot) that she went to Europe and is now working with a great company in Vienna. (I hope it’s a a sausage factory.) They blab on a little more and Adalind is prying for information on Nick and if there is “someone else” and Juliette dishes.
So, you’re saying you can give me a personality…
And it’s gonna be this big?
You want the truth?
Meh, you can’t handle the truth.
Wu has kind of found Adalind. Well, he found her on a flight manifest but the buck stopped there. Nick tells him to triangulate Juliette’s phone because he thinks they might be together. Wu is on it. Renard calls Nick into his office to talk about Nick’s problems with Juliette, because he’s the Captain who cares. (I’m just all “who cares”?) Nick confesses that there’s someone else but that he doesn’t know who it is. Renard advises him to not let it get to him.
Wu-hoo… yes, we remember and love you.
Wu pops in and says that he found the phone and that it’s at a coffee shop. Back at the coffee shop, Juliette and Adalind are still talking. Juliette tells Adalind about Nick’s weird aunt and her mysterious trailer full of odd things. Adalind is drooling over this tidbit when Nick calls back and Juliette answers. She gets all pissy that Nick is asking who she is with, but he asks if she’s with Adalind. He tells her he’s been looking for Adalind and she hands over the phone and Nick and Adalind speak for a minute and agree to meet up at the coffee shop. (Okay, so there’s hope. Maybe Juliette could get killed in some friendly cross-fire. I’m willing to be flexible.) While they are waiting for Nick, Adalind tries to get more info on the trailer.
If you like it, spread it!:

They KEEP leaving us with a lot to work with, a lot to be revealed. I’m sorry, but there is more wrong with this show than just Juliette, who I actually kind of liked in this episode. The devices they come up with to keep certain characters in the dark about things, and us in the dark about other things, are just too creaky.
Can I just say that I am OVER Juliette-Renard can have her. Why he’d want her-I don’t know. I LOVE Monroe and his girlfriend discussing clocks. I’m glad buff cop and his friend now can share the secret-I’m mad that he moved out of his own house. WHYWHYWHY isn’t the trailor locked up in his garage?? and Gee-I’d have moved that girl out to the couch and then off to where ever the hell she came from.
Did I say I loved Monroe?
I totes agree with you, Madelyne27, with what you called the showrunners under the “to be continued…sorry” card at the end of the show. Sorry, my fat behind! Not only was that apology B.S., it was insulting in its falseness.
I must be easy to please, but the “sorry” at the end made me chuckle. Sorry my patootie! A good recap, as always!
I’m with Pikey, I thought it was funny. Overall I thought the episode was pretty good; the story is advancing, slowly as it should. Love that Monroe was in the thick of things again. I don’t mind Juliette, and Nick not showing emotions is typical for 1. men and 2. cops so I didn’t mind that either. Love to hate Adalind!
But I’m mad that there won’t be any new episodes for awhile.
I thought Nick’s Mom took the key when she left town. Did I imagine this?
@wanda… i thought so too… or that she even had more than one… i’ll watch an old episode on Hulu and report back… but i’m glad you mentioned it, bc i wasn’t sure.
I thought Grimm-Mom took the coins and not the key when she supposedly left town.
Yeah, it was the coins that Grimm-Mom took, not the key. Wondering when she’ll pop up again.
I loved the episode. I don’t know what you all are bitchin’ about. We had plenty of Monroe and we had some monster whacking, plenty of Nick looking perplexed, some of the old world intrigue to keep us wondering for awhile longer and I like Adalind. This thing with Juliette still hanging in the balance….did you want that ended, is that it? I didn’t see her fired or “let go” in the gossip columns, so I think we’re stuck with her for awhile……
P.S. Your recaps are the BEST!
I think this may be a jumbo compliment to you, Madelyne27, but your recaps are so funny I don’t even care if I watch the show. In fact, I’ve never watched it. So there you go! But I’m thinking I just might do that, so I can totes understand what all the fuss is about. Plus, from your captions, Juliette seems pretty easy to hate on, and I def need more peeps like that in my life. Thanks for being so hilarious.
@chooch850, not loving this episode was just my opinion… and it could have had more to do with me being in a grumpy mood… i guess i just wanted ONE of the stories to have a little bit more drama… not just nick staring at the TV… and as far as Juliette… it’s not her character that makes me insane… it’s the woman behind the actress… i think she’s borderline uncomfortable to watch… like the scene where Nick come homes from Monroe’s, knowing she kissed someone and she tries to explain, and she using her hands to make us see that she’s nervous and she walks over to a chair, starts to sick and then stands up again really fast, so again, we know she’s nervous… it’s like a high school production with tons of overacting… and i didn’t like her Season 1, Episode 1 and i don’t like her now… but it’s not the storyline i despise… it’s just me being v picky about what i like and don’t like. phew…
that being said, i’m still so thankful that any of y’all read my recaps and make comments… i love knowing what other people think… and that people see and remember stuff that i don’t… (Like, yes… it was the coins, not the key…)
*starts to sit, not starts to sick… (Freudian slip)
About you said “here let’s just make out and creep the world out”-people call it “lust”. Welcome to adalt’s people world, girl.
Oh good, I’m not alone in disliking the actress playing Juliette and how she plays her. There’s something skeletal and too skinny about her face while the rest of her doesn’t look overly thin. But that sounds hateful on my part. D’oh! This storyline with Renard Is the only time I’ve liked Juliette. I really enjoy this obsession between the two. I questioned Nick’s detective skills when he didn’t notice Juliette’s very obvious reaction to Renard earlier and again at the award ceremony. Then I reminded myself that Nick is still a guy and largely unobservant.
I must be under the same spell because I am completely in love with Renard now. He is so big too. Swoon.
I really liked this episode. And I am crushed that there won’t be more for weeks. But I also pretty much just watched all 12 episodes within a few days. I love this show, but it’s not at the top of the must watch now list. I don’t know why.
Your recaps are awesome. I have questions about the cat scratch episode. On Demand doesn’t have last season anymore, so I’ll have to go back and reread. I need to go back further too because I don’t remember what Angelina and Monroe were to each other and why she left.
I didn’t love Adelind this much when she was there before, but I adore her now. Your description of how the actress was playing her was perfect.
I can help a little – Angelina and Monroe were old flames, back in his brutal blutblot days. Basically he needed to be away from her to stop his viciousness and become a vegetarian, a concept I find hilarious. So whenever she showed up, it was trouble and temptation for him.
It’s pathetic that I can help with details like this, but can’t find my car keys LOL.
@pite… the only thing i know about lust is when i pass a billboard with a picture of a Big Mac on it… as for the ‘adult’ world… i can live without it. i blush during love scenes, i couldn’t stand when charlie sheen used to always be in bed with girls on 2 and 1/2 men, and i even fast forward through make-out scenes during a Lifetime movie… WHEN I’M ALONE… i’m a repressed preacher’s kid… Little House on the Prairie is more my speed. when i used to watch True Blood it only took about ten minutes an episode bc i fast forwarded through all the sex.
@mrsjoecool… it’s not my fav drama-ish show either… but it’s good and keeps me interested… and i love the homes and woods and costuming/make-up… v impressive.
@zerocool… never forget, your keys are where you left them last… unless you take Ambian… then they might be in your car ignition. (true story).
@zerocool — Thank you! I remembered that they were involved, but nothing else. Now there must be a simple way to get to all the Grimmcaps that I’m overlooking. My old convoluted way won’t work now. =(
@Madelyn27 — You are too funny.
Much appreciated!!! You rock Madelyn!!! I’m late to comment, so I just want to gush over you!!!
I feel, if they had made Borliette more of a bad ass cheater and deceiver, it may have been more fun and delicious (and perhaps more shirtless) That said, as much as I like me some scantily clad hot mens, I too, cannot stand love scenes. Queer as Folk just killed it for me, and the L word didn’t help either . . . even when I listen to audio books, I just can’t stand the cloying, supposed to be sexy scenes . . . UGH!!! I think the shades of grey books would be the death of me!!!
But, if I have to watch Love Scenes, for whatever reason, I do prefer forbidden love affairs and things, esp with good chemistry.
Do you think Bitsie is depressed, or maybe on pills for depression . . . she reeks of it!
Have an awesome holiday season! Good to see some comments on up in here!!!
