Um…I thought she wasn’t a witch anymore.

Um wow…talk about ending the season on a cliffhanger…So Akira Kimura is in Portland on the hunt for those damn coins leaving a trail of broken houses and dead bodies. Nick finally confesses to Juliette that he is a Grimm but before he can present further proof in the form of Monroe transforming, she faints from a cat scratch given to her by Adalind’s poisoned cat. Rosalie and Monroe set off to find a cure to reverse her condition with Adalind’s cat Majique while Nick hunts down Adalind. Hank is losing his damn mind because he can’t shake the weird things he has seen but cannot fully explain and ends up sitting in his house with a rifle after it was broken into by Akira. The final showdown between Akira and Nick happens at his house and is stopped by the mysterious woman in black who has been following Akira and just happens to be Nick’s mother.

Gasmii the full recap will be up soon but last week’s recap is here. So how did Juliette forget last week believing in Bigfoot? Girl really is kinda rainman-ish about things. What did you think of Hank and him losing his damn mind? The biggest surprise of all…Wu getting kicked in the ass by a woman…no really the revelation that Nick’s mom is alive and well. Did you see that coming?

    There are a lot of really likeable things about this show that have kept me watching all season hoping that the writers would come to a decision on what this show is actually about, but this “finale” did not bring the disparate elements together at all. Who the hell IS Juliette? Is she a loveable ditz? A hardheaded Renaissance vet who can do anything? Why exactly is she with Nick if she can believe in Bigfoot more easily than she can believe in him? Are Nick and Hank friends or do they hardly know each other? Is Renard good or bad? Is he powerful, or holding back something more powerful than he is? Why the hell did the writers wait until the season finale to tell us that Nick uses “emotional reading” to uncover the Wesen? Every time some momentum seems to be picking up, the writers seem to start the next episode at ground zero. Then they’ll pick up the thread again about five episodes later, when I hardly remember what they’re talking about, like with these damn coins. So now we have Nick’s mom thrown into the mix. I would prefer to find out who Renard is first.

    I’m just tired of shows undeading dead characters. LET THEM BE DEAD. If she doesn’t have a head, she’s dead dammit.

    Midway through the episode I figured out that the woman in black was probably Nick’s mom, and I hoped against hope that I was wrong. Boo, Grimm. Shame on you. The cat was beautiful, but”Majique” might be one of the most unintentionally hilarious pet names I’ve ever heard.

    Heh. My cat Scout was a stray who took up residence in a co-worker’s backyard. As the co-worker was only renting the house she couldn’t keep the cat but had given her the name…Magic. Allegedly, it was after Magic Johnson (this was a very long time ago) but I was so mortified that anyone would name a cat something so stupid I offered to take her and see if she got along with my other cat, George. (Who was almost named Baskerville…so I saved TWO cats from horrible names. Three if you count my current cat Billie, who was a surrender named Tinkerbell.)

    I get that they wanted a “magical” name, but why not go with the old standby, Pyewacket?

    @Jessi — was it the fact that an Oscar-nominated actress was playing her that tipped you off? That certainly set my mind grapes stewing.

    Julliette was infected by the cat and now she is Adalind?!
    Soon Nick’s dad will show up and he’ll be the tall guy from 3rd rock from the sun!

    Juliette isn’t Adalind – I don’t think. Just a minion like the cat, maybe?

    I thought it was funny that Juliette had the “poop eyes” that started back in X Files and now are used IN EVERYTHING to indicate possession or alien take-over or whatever. Somebody should have patented that…

    @Maryedith, pretty much! @Vallegirl, you are a hero to felines everywhere. Altho, Baskerville has its charm, I suppose. Especially if you want to pretend your cat is a professor of English literature.

    @Sel, I’m sure there’s an entry for that on TV Tropes and Idioms. I’ll go look it up.

    Black Eyes of Evil is a subgenre of Uh Oh Eyes, of which there are many kinds (Prophet Eyes and Mind Control Eyes being two others). Apparently it was Babylon 5 and not X Files that first used it.

    If the woman in black really is Nick’s mom, then I guess I was wrong about Nick not trusting that Hawk-guy. I wonder if he really was Aunt Marie’s lover; my boss at Dish thought that they weren’t lovers and it was just an attack on Nick’s emotions. The suspense is almost unbearable with this show! Although the writing seemed to struggle throughout the season, it seems like the writers finally decided what they were doing with this finale. I’m glad I chose to watch it without commercials with Auto Hop since Grimm is part of my PrimeTime Anytime recordings. I hope that in season 2 the writers focus on who Juliette is, because I can’t help but agree with maryedith, how can she believe in Bigfoot and not the man she wants to marry?
