When you hear baby snatcher, you would think of one of the most important things that...well...takes and eats the,m but not this kind. This one monster of the week has a dt side to him.
I would have to say that I'm pretty excited to get back to the Monster of the Week episode now, and "El Cugele" happens to be a memorable one. Let this be a lesson to new parents who are expecting or have a baby that taking too many photos can be a bad thing.
When a man, known as the "El Cuegle," looks for a baby, he searches the internet, primarily social media websites, hunts them, and takes them away. Nick, Hank, and Wu are brought to investigate, and after tracking him down and taking him to the station, the guy tells them that he's only doing what's good.
See, when the guy is a woman, he has three eyes (one sees the past, the other the future, and the other the purpose). He explains that the reason why he's doing this is that he's trying to prevent those babies from doing someone dangerous in the future (like he tells them that the baby will kill both his parents 18 years from now). Creepy right? What would you do, let him go and do what he's supposed to do, or lock him up and let what the future lays for that baby? A genuine Sophia's choice.
The El Cuegle escapes and rushes to the baby again, but Nick and Hank stop them in a real old-fashioned buddy butt-kicking mode and kill him after falling from the house's second floor. But before dying, he mentions "the bears." Now, unless he's telling us about the Chicago Bears winning the Super Bowl next year, I would think he was just talking crazy. Still, he was talking about the blanket that the baby has been wrapped in, which was also seen in the future when the older version of the baby shoots his parents.
First, I could see why he would want to shoot his parents (mainly his dad for being a total dick to his mother and not believing in her). But this was an interesting case to watch.
In this episode, the scene with Nick, Hank, and Wu talking with Renard is golden. One of the funniest moments in the episode (wait, it's the most comic). The second would be Monroe telling Diana how Nick looked like Renard. The other funniest scene was Renard and Meisner at the station continuing their conversation from the previous night.
Another thing: Diana telling Rosalee and Monroe that there's more than one baby or something she couldn't tell. But there are more babies, which leads to what I think is the most remembered moment of this episode (besides Nadalind): the Monrosalee scene. Rosealee and Monroe are discussing trying to step back from what they've been doing. What Monroe tells her is simply beautiful and heartwarming, too. We want nothing but happiness with their soon-to-be big family.
Third thing: I don't know about all of the Nadalind fans out there, but I loved that scene when they returned to the loft (I prefer Fome). We got a nice scene with Adalind and Nick together in their Fome Sweet Fome! Yes, I'm going to say it.
Final thing: Even Eve eavesdrops on Nick and Adalind in their conversation in the underground. She seems to be feeling increasingly, and I think Juliette is popping in and out. She seems to lose her wedging powers like when Adalind lost hers in Season 4. But while under the tunnel, she seems to get the urge to grab that stick and gets burned on her hand a symbol and soon draws on the wall. We might see her art in the next episode.
This episode was excellent, with a lot of good, some creepy, and funny moments. The writing was fantastic, and the actors, even those playing El Cuegle, were excellent and believable. I didn't lose interest throughout the story, and it left a creepy ending. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch The Final Chapter of Grimm on Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.
