“The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;”

Bring back a Grimm quote… Unless this means that Juliette dies.

We see a boat in the North Atlantic, it’s raining, and it is 10 days ago. Inside the boat we hear lots of banging and yelling from one of the shipping containers. I’d assume it’s human trafficking, but this is Grimm, not Law and Order (or is it).

Cut to 9 days later, in Portland Harbor, a lonely security guard hears something and then sees blood leaking from the shipping container. He calls for backup… three men go in and see a carnage. There is blood on walls, words written in French and then some unsettling hear growling… then a toothy little bastard jumps from above and kills them.

 

It’s Portland, “put a bird on it”.

A lady from Law and Order, Criminal Intent, cloaked in black gets to Nick’s house just in time to watch Akira Kimura beat the bejesus out of Nick for the mysterious coins. She lurks around the house for a while, and when she comes in she first beats the crap out of Nick, and then stabs Kimura in the chest.

 

I can’t believe Captain Callas stabbed me. Is this Law & Order?

“Nick, Nicky… it’s me”

“Mom?” (What’s left unsaid, “why did you just beat me up?”)

The beast in container turns back to human form and looks at what he’s done. He seems fine with it. No guilt for the wicked. (Ask my old boss.)

Nick and Scarface (Mom) both agree Kimura (the stabbed guy) was sent by the Dragon’s Tongue. They don’t have much time to discuss it because we hear police sirens so Scarface vanishes. Sgt. Wu is on the scene… yippee. I heart Sgt Wu, but in a much different way than I heart Captain Renard. Yum. Captain Renard looks shaken up on seeing Kimura lying on the floor. Renard tells Nick to go be with Juliette in her coma state at the hospital. Nick doesn’t want to (I wouldn’t either, she’s boring awake or in a coma). Monroe and Rosalee are working on potions to try to wake Juliette up… (Don’t bother, she’s fine just the way she is.)

 

Wu-hoo…  

Scarface provides Nick with a little back story as to why she’s not dead, (she was busy on Law and Order). Apparently she wasn’t in the car that crashed and the killer took the head of the woman he thought was Scarface, so there were no teeth to compare to dental records. So it was actually Nick’s dad and her mom’s friend that died. Nick clenches his jaw so we think he’s crying over missing all those years with his mom. It would have been a little more touching if either of them showed an ounce of emotion.

    I appreciate that someone is recapping Grimm, but I truly miss the recapper ( SG ) from season one. It just seems as if this recapper really doesn’t care for the show and not really interested in anything that involves any sort of continuation. The coins of Zaynthos must be destroyed on the island on which they were forged. They figured in several episodes of season one. The Mauvais Dentes ( sabre tooth wesen ) is the “cat” in the cat and mouse game. Mama Grimm mentioned that they were cruel and enjoyed toying with their prey. I do appreciate the delicious side bar and appreciation ( on very different levels ) of both Renard and Wu. I would hope that a little more effort in glancing at a rerun or maybe going to NBC.com and looking at the recaps for wesen names and the mythological geography. I don’t want to appear unappreciative of ANYONE that puts in the effort to recap for TVGASM. Grimm is one of my all time favorite shows and I love it for the camp factor that lends itself to such exquisite snarkiness that I do so love.

    You’re absolutely correct in that I didn’t do enough homework. But it is not for any dislike of the show, but limited time. When I watched season 1, I never thought I’d be recapping the show, so I didn’t pay as much attention, and when I was assigned this show last week, I didn’t have time to rewatch all the episodes or read past recaps.

    But hopefully you’ll stick with me, help me out when I get names wrong, and maybe even have a couple of laughs. I’ve been doing alot of reading today and hopefully will be more caught up with the storylines next week.

    I am new to the show, but officially addicted. Enjoyed the recap, M, love the gory details, appreciate the sarcasm.

    I loved when Monroe was like Dude your mom is kind of a bitch! I’m not sure if I like Nick’s mom or not, but I cannot stand Juliet.

    –Madelyne– I am in for the long haul. Looking forward to reading more and will do what I can to help a little. The fact that you are ACTUALLY recapping and I am just living vicariously through your words, humbles me. It is always fun to see if other find the same things as funny as I do when they slip in the throw away lines…

    I don’t know if Renard is supposed to be the villian of the story or not, but I absolutely love him. He’s just so………yum. I have a hard time following what’s going on with the story, too, because if Renard or Monroe aren’t on the screen, I tend to get distracted. Hopefully, this season will have more of a mytharc than last season’s Wesen-of-the-Week, and I’ll HAVE to pay attention. I’m looking forward to it!!

    Hi M, I’ll take “Batsht crazy” for $500 please!

    I love this show, have watched from first episode but this one? Ummmm…. Did we go to college together because my brain cells seem to have gone the same way as yours. I got lost. I got confused.

    Now, I agree with your assessment of mom – seems like a lying bitch to me – and will keep watching. Plus… I plan to hang with you on the recaps! I laughed a few times and began to wonder if all us moms pull that face from time to time? ; ) Thanks for doing this!

    Here I thought you were calling her “Scarface” because she played Tony Montana’s sister.

    Because I totally forgot about the actual scar on her face. Derr.

    I don’t think the WRITERS have decided if Renard is truly good or evil yet. But he is aptly named: Renard is French for fox.

    As for Julilet, now that she is losing her memory, it would be fun if when she wakes up, she gravitates toward evil. Then maybe Nick will have to kill her and we’ll be rid of her albatross of a character.

    Oh…and that isn’t a “sceptor” on the wall. It’s a scythe…and represents the reapers who appeared in multiple season one episodes.

    Yes. A scythe, thank you. Do I get points for knowing it was an “S” Word? (which reminds me of an old SNL/Sean Connery/Jeopardy skit.)

    I’ve been studying all things Grimm all night. Next week that show will be my btch. (maybe)

    Lol Yes…points for knowing it was an “s” word.

    Since we all seem to be in agreement on our dislike of Juliette, let’s speculate on how they can A.) improve her and/or B.) get rid of her.

    Seems to me that having Juliette go over to the “dark side” could be VERY interesting. I mean, she’s a vet, right? Most of these characters have probably required the services of a medical professional on occasion. It could get interesting if Nick hurts ‘em and Juliette patches ‘em back up! Just a thought along the ‘make her more interesting’ lines!

    The most interesting thing she could do, in my opinion, is wake up, come home, cook a dinner, and half-way through, when Nick gets a phone call that he has a case, she would flip the table over like Theresa on RHONJ and scream “I’m outta here.” And just leave. But that’s just me… and probably what I would do…. except not “cooking dinner”, more “ordering dinner”.

    But Juliette and mom might be fun to watch. As long as it goes badly.
