The best way to take Xanax is by the handful.
Back at Nick’s house, Mom is making up for the lost years with burnt toast and pancakes. (High carb diet… that’s my fav too). Nick gets a call. He has an investigation, no time for pancakes. Oh wow, I totally forgot about the dead folks on the boat.
Monroe and Nick meet up with Sgt. Wu at the boat and we get to see, up close and personal the working of this week’s beast unknown. There’s a scepter drawn on the wall in blood. Using my keen sense of deduction, I bet there’s a picture of that in a book in a trailer in an abandoned lot. But I’m just guessing here.
Hey Nick, your partner might be a little fuzzy this morning.
The cargo was from France and Renard tells the detectives that the FBI are taking over case. Nick isn’t happy because he knows the image on the wall means something, but FBI doesn’t want their help.
IMDB: FBI Agent 1 & 2, Grimm (1 episode). Just my guess.
Renard visits Kimura in jail and tells him he knows who he’s working for, but that Kimura didn’t know he was going up against a Grimm. Renard alludes to the fact that we don’t know what he is. (Hot?) Kimura tells Renard that he knew about one Grimm, just not two… dun, dun, DDUUUNNNNNNN….
Nick and Scarface take a field trip to the aluminum Grimm headquarters. She tells Nick more about his past and how it all came to be. She told heartwarming stories of hunting people down with her grandpa… like Heidi, but minus the sweet blind old man… but both stories probably had goats.
Just remember, Scar killed Mufasa.
Okay, truth time, I don’t like Scarface at all. I think she’s a bad guy.
Nick pulls out the three coins and Scarface explains they need to be taken to Island of Afjdiaflh, it’s the only way to destroy them. (I can’t figure out what she said, but I did find out that you can’t ‘listen’ in slow motion.) Nick cries that he hated growing up without her. Scarface comes in for the hug, but then does the three back pat… Like, “please stop slobbering on me, I’m probably not your real mom”.
“God, my son is such a needy wimp.”
He shows her the picture drawn on the wall, and she knows exactly who could have done that… she pulls out the book that knows all, flips to the page… voila… the animal with the teeth.
If you like it, spread it!:

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.
