“If a man of pure heart were to fall in love with her,
that would bring her back to life.”
The episode starts where we left off last week, with Nick being attacked in the warehouse by the Mauvais Dentes. Scarface uses her Spiderman powers and scales the building so she can sneak in and help out her long, lost son. Before Scarface finishes the Mauvais Dentes off with a knife to the neck, she asks who sent him, but he won’t answer her.
Dead body hanging from rafters, meh.
Love that Scarface isn’t above robbing the dead.
At the hospital, Monrosalee have the potion that will stop Juliette’s memory loss, but they are waiting for Nick to arrive to give it to her. The potion has a shelf life of 20 more minutes, so they are getting antsy. Monroe thinks Nick is spending some much needed time with his mom, but then his stomach starts hurting because time is running out.
Explosive diarrhea isn’t a joke, Rosalee.
Nick and Scarface get to the hospital just in time to put 6 drops of the potion in each of her dead eyes. Hospital security is extremely lax, because fiancé or not, if I’m in a coma and my husband rushes in with a magic potion, I REALLY hope someone stops him. I don’t care if Monroe goes all Blutbad on the doctor’s ass… I don’t want anything not FDA-approved added to my current state.
SECURITY!!!
As the foursome leave the hospital, Nick gets a call from Hank. Hank is at the warehouse crime scene and needs Nick to work the scene with him. (The method of the Portland PD crime scene investigation deployment is v confusing. Sgt. Wu is there. Captain Renard is there. Hank is there. But Nick isn’t called until later?)
Whoop-de-Wu, thanks for showing up, Nick.
Since Nick has to take his car, this leaves Monrosalee having to drive Scarface home. Monroe and Scarface share equal excitement, as Monroe says to Nick, “Okay, I guess we’re okay to go then. You go take care of the dead, and we three will just… all go on *glances at Scarface* living.”
I can’t believe I’m in a VW, with a Blutbat. Kill me now!
Scarface clearly didn’t call “shotgun” as she riding btchseat while she and Monroe discuss how they met Nick. When they get to Nick’s house, they awkwardly stand on the walkway and pretend that they don’t all completely mistrust each other. Rosalee leans in for a hug, and feels the warmth of a week old corpse.
If loving you is wrong, why does this feel so right?
If you like it, spread it!:

xanax? nap? yes, please.
I am loving the new intro: “There once was a man…. This — is the life of a Grimm!” Not since BtvS has there been such a dramatic, tension filled, voiceover show intro.
Birds have sex in the pretty standard way most animals do, with the male somewhat on top/behind.
Goose sex is overly complicated because, to prevent the crazy amounts of rape amongst geese (it’s seriously high), the females have developed complex, tunneling vaginal entries while the males have, in competitive adaptation, developed corkscrew penises.
As far as reproduction, the eggs are fertilized internally, then the female lays and incubates the fertilized eggs.
There, I answered your bird sex questions. Got any more pics of Renard shirtless?
Holy cow, Whedonite… You’re my hero. But is goose rape considered “legitimate rape”? Can Grimm fans be political?
I promise to always include at least one shirtless Renard pic. Regardless of relevance to the recap.
Now I have to take a Xanax so I don’t dream about corkscrew penises.
Goose rape. Haha. I can’t stop laughing.
Isn’t “legitimate rape” an oxymoron?
Ok!! This is officially the most informative recap EVER!! I, too, was unaware of the issue of “goose rape” – what is the world coming to?
Actually, this is the second bit of info I’ve picked up this morning. Apparently, there are roving bands of penis thieves in China. Seriously! A guy named Fei Lin had his penis stolen while he slept. I repeat, what is the world coming to!!!
Not only do I love the recaps, I always look forward to the comments. You guys are awesome!!
If this potion caused Renard to Hulk out of his shirt, why couldn’t it do the same where his pants are concerned?
@WICD, i looked up the story of poor Fei Lin, but found it odd that in the pic of him, the only thing blurred out was (were?) his eyes… and not to stereotype, but don’t most Asian eyes look alike? (and all you with sick minds, it was a pic from the waist up.)
@cosmonala, exactly… plus his two little butterfly stitches remained in place during his Hexenbiest morph.
Madelyn27, I’m loving the recap,. I’m a Grimm fan who also enjoys a little sarcasm & wit with my shows. The pics & comments are genius. Can’t wait to read more..thanks for the laugh this morning.. And the goose rape was an added bonus
Renard is hot. #thatisall
..wait not quite. If Juliette falls in love with Renard..I QUIT!!
Thanks for the recap and since I was so quick to be critical over last week’s recap, I have to be equally willing to bestow the kudos on a very well written, wonderfully observant and deliciously snarky rehash. EXACTLY what I come to TVGasm to peruse. Thanks.
yeah, I agree a great recap! You guys can have Renard, I prefer Nick. Although Renard is sexy when he speaks French.
Juliette doesn’t bother me, I understand why her character is needed, it brings a sense of normalcy to the story. It’s Hank that I don’t like. I’m interested in seeing how they handle the revealing to him. I’m liking Scarface’s character and in particular the actress is excellent so kudos to them for hiring her. I like that she’s a badass, goofy magazine and all.
@suebreaz: I think the goose rape was an added bonus for us all.
@chacha: Yes, I was making a Todd Akin goose joke.
@Tonya: She can fall, as long as he rejects.
@Grimoire: Again, thank you for your advice last week, I got me in line, bc y”all deserve the best.
@zerocool: Hank reminds me of Meshach Taylor from Designing Women, so I have a hard time liking him too, but I don’t want to dislike too many people. And Nick is too young/short for me, but his mom, Scarface, is the perfect pick for a mysterious good/badass. I like Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. And Juliette, I’ve just never been a fan of the weakly plotted side-stories. Like I don’t need to know about Stabler’s kids at home on Law & Order: SVU, just give me the case.
Thanks so much for your comments, I’m so thankful for your input and laughs, and make sure you invite your friends to read too… (even if it means admitting that you read recaps… The first step is admitting it… the other 11 phases are for wimps.)
Great recap this week, lots of laughs, going to turn my friends on to this!
Great recap! I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed Nick threw his gun about 8 feet from shore. HAHAHA. Wuss.
@bluzgirl – i just have to tell you that when you called nick a wuss last week, it just made me laugh and then in this week’s recap, i ended up using wuss two or three times bc the word was stuck in my brain… 8 ft… wuss… it’s up there with “douche”…
