Back at the Halls of Justice, Hank shows Nick that the Mauvais Dentes was a world class killer, and even though they don’t know his identity, he has killed a lot of people all over the world. In his office, Renard is reading up on Nick’s “parents” accident.
In my favorite house in the show, we find Catherine stirring up her witches brew as she calls Renard to come over to pick it up. As he is leaving the station, he walks up on the FBI arresting Nick for the murder of the two FBI agents. They take him away and Hank is thinking about damn time he got some camera time that he needs to help get his friend out of custody immediately. Captain Renard throws some weight around, but lets it drop because he has an errand to run.
All by my-se-e-elf… don’t want be… all by my-self, anymore.
So, now as you may guess, we are to my favorite scene. There is a mason jar filled with a thick, milky, and apparently lumpy substance. Catherine hands it to Renard and explains to him that he must drink it as a “purification process”. Because he is so evil inside, he has to become pure before he kisses Juliette, which will then allow her to waken from her coma. (A few things come to mind… One is a banned episode of Fear Factor that included a glass of a similar looking substance. Second, how did they not burst out laughing when they were filming this scene? It’s repulsive and I can’t imagine anyone thinking of anything non-gross about it. And finally, how dare she suggest that my dear Renard is full of evil.)
I should do WHAT with my specimen? I think not.
After giving the glass a swirl, Renard bids her farewell and she wishes him luck and tells him it shouldn’t be “too bad”. As he is walking to his car, Scarface is lurking across the street. Put your damn cape down, lady. We get it, you’re dark.
Back in Catherine’s kitchen, Scarface pops in for a mom-to-mom chat. Catherine does her token scary face and then realizes that Scarface is Nick’s mother. Scarface immediately goes in to strangle Catherine and Catherine folds like a wet taco and tells her that there is a Prince in Portland (handsome, charming, and a bastard “literally”) and only he can cure Juliette.
Totally love the yellow and grey combo. Just sayin’.
With that little nugget of info, they both go into batsht crazy mode. Catherine is full on Hexenbiest and racks up 14 years of bad luck by being thrown into two mirrors. They go flying through French doors, they kick and toss each other around until Catherine finally has Scarface on her back, holding a knife over her.
I’m about to go all Time Magazine on your ass.
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”…
