The Strengthen of Family: Grimm "The End" Series Finale

Everything comes down to this: will Nick defeat his greatest enemy?

Let me start by saying that this was a roller coaster ride that gave birth to so many ups and downs that my heart felt the need to sink to the ground (once again). Beware, there are spoilers here!

The episode picks up right after the last episode. Nick wakes up and finds both Hank and Wu dead and tries to use the stick to bring them back, but nothing seems to work. Trubel comes and agrees to use their old weapons against the Zerstorer. After talking with Adalind and Renard on the phone, Nick tells Trubel to head over to where Adalind and Renard are while he goes to the Spice Shop.

As Nick gets to the Spice Shop, Rosalee, Monroe, and Eve might have the option to end the beast, and that has to do with the blood of a Wesen, Hexenbiest, and a Grimm. After Nick hears about it, Rosalee and Monroe head over to the cabin, but when Nick and Eve are about to head out and talk about no regrets, the beast shows up. Eve tries to attack the beast but fails and is forced to stab herself. Nick rushes to her aid but dies just before saying, "No Regrets." And as soon as he places her on the bed at the spice shop, he goes mad and uses the ax to trash the spice shop.

As Rosalee and Monroe get to the Cabin, they tell Adalind what they have planned, and they set everything up. Nick gets there, and they start the process of potion. As the potion is ready, Diana wakes up and tells Renard she isn't tired and scared because the Zerstorer is coming. After all, it followed Nick because of that stick.

As the beast walks away with Diana, Renard goes out and tries to stop him; after a couple of hits and punches, Renard gets stabbed by the beast's stick and dies. Nick, Adalind, Rosalee, and Monroe try to battle him together, even splashing the potion onto its face. It looked like it was working til it stopped Nick from slicing his head with the ax. Adalind yells to Trubel to get out of here with Kelly, but it's too late, as they are locked in for good.

This is where things get very intense as they battle the beast; nothing is stopping him. And not even within a two-minute mark, it killed Adalind, Monroe, and Rosalee. Emotions run very high; as Nick hears noises in the cabin, he rushes in and sees that the beast has also killed Trubel. Nick tells the beast that he will not let him have his son, and the beast tells him that it doesn't have to come to that, and the one thing he wants is the stick. For the stick, the beast can make everything back to average friends/family alive and brings Trubel to prove it. After looking at Kelly, he offers to give the stick, but Trubel stops him and asks why he wants him to hand it and why he can't take it.

As Nick is about to hand over the stick, Trubel fights him and runs with it through the woods. Soon, they both fight for it and as Nick stops, he walks back but is controlled by his mother and Aunt Marie, who tells him he needs to find his strength within. After learning about the meaning of the stick, they both walk toward the beast and battle him along with Trubel. After stabbing and slicing his arm, Nick finishes the beast off by stabbing him with his stick to the heart, killing it.

Nick and Trubel look around, and he runs to Adalind's side and takes off the ring. After Diana shows up and Nick is about to use the stick on Adalind, the beast suddenly turns to dust and transforms into a portal where it is pulling Nick and the stick. As he can't stop it, Nick is pulled through, and we see that it hurts him back to where he and Eve make it back. He is still in the wrong place after all, and when Nick realizes that he sees everyone alive. Diana tells him that the Zerstorer didn't come through the portal. Nick gets emotional and very much like Dorothy and George Bailey's type and tells everyone how he thought he lost everyone he loved. Everyone comes in for a big Grimm family hug, but Monroe spots the giant stick and asks Nick why and how this got here.

That's where we hear a voiceover and move ahead 20 years later to a trailer in the woods and Kelly writing about how his father, Nick, got the strength from his family's blood of Aunt Marie, Mother, and second cousin Trubel battling the beast. Soon Diana comes in and tells him to come that their parents are taking down a Wesen and also the twins are going to come along. As soon as Kelly is done, he takes the stick and leaves, but Diana turns and uses her powers to close the Grimm book, and the screen goes black with the caption "The End" in all different languages.

This was hands down one of the best series finales I've seen in recent years. This played with so many emotions: watching everyone dying put a lot of heartache and stress in my heart. But the twist was that Nick was still in that different world. I agree that it had that Wizard of Oz montage, but it also had that It's a Wonderful Life, with Nick telling Trubel that he wants everyone to live again. I thought that when Nick and his mother and aunt came back was unique and uplifting as they tried to give him the strength and battle the Zerstorer and the scene where they slowly walked was so kick-ass, and so was the battle.

When Nick got back to the real world, it was just heartwarming and tearful. It's incredible that after six seasons, this show still has kept its actors and hasn't left the show. I'm delighted with the ending, glad Nick and Adalind are together and have a family known to battle the weapons with their little family, the Grimm detective agency. The writing was so so damn good. The cast was outstanding and played so well to each other and their strengths. Overall, I give this final episode a 10/10. Also, I give this season a 9.5/10.

The Heart to the Floor: Grimm "Zerstorer Shrugged"

Okay. Okay. After waiting more than a few hours and eating the remainder of my birthday cake (2/3) to process last night's second-to-last episode of Grimm. All I have to say is that my emotional meter went haywire.

Picking up from where we left off, Nick and Eve tried to battle the Zerstorer, but nothing affected him. On the other side, Monroe, Adalind, and Renard try to figure out who will go in and get them out, and one option is using Diana to open it.

Meanwhile, at the spice shop, Hank, Wu, and Rosalee search for anything they can find in the books. Hank found a page where the skull creator image shows two different circles, by which it says that to come through the mirror, it needs Nick so it can go through. Rosalee tries calling Monroe about it, but it is too late as Diana opens the portal using the stick. Nick and Eve got out, and the Zerstorer, too, didn't come along with them as it landed in a gas station bathroom.

After Nick and Eve return, Eve isn't a hero anymore. Her powers or spirit is left back on the other side, as Diana tells her. Diana senses that the Zerstorer is coming, and so Nick has the idea to use the cabin where he caught his first Wesen criminal and hide both Renard, Adalind, and the kids there til everything blows over or the beast is dead.  But they place a potion to protect Diana from the beast, so he has no clue where she is.

As Nick, Adalind, and Renard get to the cabin, some flashbacks from memory lane come as not only was it the place that Nick caught his first Wesen but also where he and Renard battled it out, and he gives Nick the first key. After settling in and hugging Adalind, she rushes out to Nick and tells him to be careful, and from that moment, he kisses her for a perfect couple of seconds and tells her that he loves her and that she, too, loves him. It's one of those heartwarming moments I need a tissue for.

Nick meets with Hank and Wu at a crime scene where two dead bodies are found at a gas station, the same gas station that the beast came out from in the bathroom. They see what the beast looks like, and he looks like a steroid-buff Bobby Flay. Soon, they get another of a homeless guy who was attacked by the same guy but with a snake.

As they arrived, Nick received a call from Eve telling him he needed to get to the spice shop. As he comes, he sees that Trubel has returned and tells him that Black Claw is all gone. We learn that the stick that he and Monroe found is apart from the beast's stick, so this turns into a keep away from him, not only Diana Kelly but also the stick (Kelly too because Diana had a bad dream of the beast coming to get her and him).

As Nick meets Hank and Wu at the precinct, Trubel tells him that the beast is heading towards them as they get ready with machine guns. Quickly, the beast is in the building and takes out everyone and almost the entire place, but Nick and the guys come in with guns blazing but don't hurt it and wipe them back with its stick power.

Wu wages and attacks it but suddenly gets killed by the stick as it stabs him in the stomach, shocking Nick and Hank. Hank goes all Scarface and goes after him, but he too gets killed by the stick to the throat, and right then and there, my heart sinks to the floor and probably through the earth to China, I assume. But also the moment comes when Nick is very pissed and goes after the Zerstorer with all he has, but it uses its stick and pushes Nick to the wall as it's unlike he has ever seen or battled before, and after there, we wait to next week.

This was the episode no one should have missed. This was a very, very good episode, as it felt so much like a feature movie. As I said before, I emotionally meter going bonkers from Nick and Adalind's "I love you" moment to the return of Trubel and even the last scene of Wu/Hank's death, not to mention watching Nick fly through the air like that, really sank my heart. Everyone played so well in this episode, but give much credit to Hannah R. Loyd, who gave an excellent and chilling performance. It seems Nick will have to provide his all in the final hour. The promo very much scares me trying to guess what will happen. The writing was outstanding and so memorable (but for me, it'll take some time til I rewatch this again, but I will rewatch it again). Overall, I give this episode 9.5/10.

Two Worlds Apart: Grimm "Where The Wild Things Are"

Let the games begin!

"Where the Wild Things Are" picks up minutes after the previous episode where Monroe and Rosalee finds the mirror uncover and a hexinbeist book opening figuring out that Eve has gone through and calling Nick and Adalind to figure something out how to get Eve out. With Nick not allowing Adalind to go in there, he goes using the stick, but when he goes through it stays with Adalind and Monroe.

When Nick goes though he awakens to a different world of Wesen and humans seeing blutbads attacking other wesen and humans. Eve finds Nick and the two tries to find their way around looking for the black skull that they learn is called Zerstorer.

Meanwhile, with no other solution on getting Nick and Eve out, Adalind and the gang calls on Renard to tell them what he knows about these signs, but also give him the rundown of what has been happening. After he calls on his friend that he's asked about the symbols  and soon get word that this has to do with a Shaphat, or devil and is looking for it's bride.....Diana. After telling Adalind and the gang what his friend said, they go out to get everything they need to figure out what to do.

Meanwhile, Nick and Eve meets a group of humans after being chased by blutbads and after killing a couple of them in front of them they were accepted. Nick asked the leader of the group about what they're looking for and draws the face of it on a rock. After eating a piece of cooked blutbad, don't tell Monroe about this, the leader takes them to it, but gets freak out when Eve starts woging slowly.

There's a moment when Nick and Eve are at the rock that she tells Nick and Juliette is gone and that being happy only gets in the way of things. I feel that watching that scene really made me change the way Eve/Juliette has been over the years. But also gives a bit of closure as well. The two faces with the Zerstorer and for which left us with a on the edge cliffhanger.

This episode felt like a beginning of a feature film. The settings were amazing, mostly the circle rock. I loved how everyone played a great role in this episode. Bistie Tulloch was at her best in this episode with such great dialogue with David Giuntoli. There were many humorist moments from the gang meeting with Renard to even Wu making a joke about how this feels like how Alice falling through the looking glass. The writing was so good. Overall I give this episode a 9/10.

Just Let Go: Grimm "Blood Magic"

When a wesen attacks two people, Nick and the gang gets an unexpected turn when they find out who and why these attacks have happened. Plus Eve has become the bookworm this week.


There have been a couple of attacks happening around Portland and when Nick, Hank and Wu get the call they try their best to capture the wesen. But with only little footage from a couple of places doesn't quite help until word of a home care aide murdering a home care patient.

When Nick and Hank meet up with the suspect, he tells them that the patient, a 91 year old lady, turned into a monster and attacked him. He said he was trying to defend himself until she turned back and his boss came in seeing him choking her.

But the autopsy comes in and there was bug saliva inside the 91 year old woman. Nick and Hank talked to Monroe and Rosalee about it and they know what it is that killed her but they suggest that Nick leaves it well alone. They tell Nick that she was killed by "The Godfather of Death" who comes to wesen that suffers from severe Alzheimer's and dementia and puts them out to that goodnight sleep.

Nick wants to meet with this Godfather and they do, as he's the doctor at the home care. After another freak out of him being a Grimm (I do love it), they talk about how he put her to sleep and that he was too late by the time she was woge.

Soon he gets a call from a lady that her husband, who has attacked her and suffers from Alzheimer's, it out of the house and is scared. It turns out that this was the lady that was at the Spice Shop buying a lot of sleeping meds. Rosalee comes to find out that it was for her husband and by all willing the attacks turns out to be coming from that lady's husband.

And by the time Nick, Hank and Monroe finds and brings the husband back to the house, you could just sense that things were going to get pretty emotional. After Nick compares the canes from the video and his, he let the doctor do his thing and put the man into that long goodnight.

Meanwhile, Eve has been the very definition of being hyper on finding a way into that world through the mirrors. She asked for Adalind's help and gets her mother's books for Eve to search around. Nick tells her to wait and let them do it together, but you know she wan't gonna listen to him. As soon as she found the chapter on "Blood Magic" she tries looking for Rosalee but no one was home and she pulls off of smearing blood in the mirror, which opened up and of course she goes in.

"Blood Magic" could only be described heartbreaking with a 75 percent chance of going for the tissues after the episode. For me as a home care aide, who hasn't taken care of someone who's suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia but has seen and heard through others about it, this really got me emotionally sad. That second to last scene when they brought the husband and watching him and his wife have one last moment and Nick allowing the doctor to do his thing was simply overwhelming.

There were some non emotional moments, like when Rosalee gets the call from the Godfather of Death and telling him that her husband is in a serve stage of dementia because they were trying to get him to meet with Nick.

Also the interaction with Adalind and Eve was pretty good as well that last phone call was like something out of high school or college. And not to mention the Nick and Adalind moment for all those #Nadalind fans out there.

Oh and I can't forget Renard and Nick moment that as I kept saying to the television set, "Your move Sean. It's all on you. Nick doesn't have to do anything."

The writing was outstanding. It was literally I thought a good ensemble performance all around. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Love is in the Air: Grimm "Blind Love"

Love is sick, love is kind, and put it together in this week's episode of Grimm, and you have a memorable episode.

"Blind Love" stands out on its own as not just a montage of the six seasons this show has been on but just that it's one hour of can't stop laughing to OMG moments. This might have to be one of my favorite all-time episodes.

It's Monroe's birthday, and Rosealee plans a getaway trip with the gang to celebrate, but when they get there, someone who recognizes Nick seeks revenge for what he did to his daddy seven years ago (before Nick knew he was a Grimm).

Randy sets out to put a spell on Nick and others by putting it in their champagne, except for Rosealee. The next day, Cupid's magic strikes Monroe to fall in love with Eve, Nick with Rosealee, Adalind with Monroe, Wu with the waitress Holly (who I think should be together), and probably the best couple's match-up would have to go to Hank for loving Hank.

The best scenes came when Russell Hornsby goes at it with so much feeling, along with Marvin Gay playing in the background; it's hilarious.

As everyone's about to kill each other, Rosalee knows what is happening and finds Randy. The two talk and then have to chase til he grabs Holly as a hostage, but Wu, who is about to jump off a cliff for his love for Holly, sees her in trouble and wages and pushes Randy off the cliff, killing off the spell.

After going at it, the rest of the gang seemed to be back to normal and learned what had happened to each other. Later that night, the cake is lit up, and everyone sings Happy Birthday to Monroe. And after, the waitress brings out champagne to the house. Yeah, I think I'll stick with Diet Coke.

Also, Lt. Grossante kidnaps Diana from Renard's place because of their broken deal. At first, Renard is worried, but what the hell, it's Diana; he'll figure her out soon. And he did painfully, as those two had so much fun playing together, mainly Diana.

I loved this episode, as it's by far one of the best that can stand out. We saw just a little of that magic cloth business with a visit from a black skull in the bathroom mirror at Nick's loft (fome) that both Eve and Nick saw. And Renard has seen Diana's drawings but hasn't told him what they were.

Other than that, I thought the writing was excellent. The cast was good, but Hornsby stole this episode by far. I loved the flashback of when Nick and Monroe first met or Monroe and Rosalee's first love at first sight and their first kiss. Maybe, god, Monroe hasn't aged a bit in the six years. Yes, some Nadalind moments probably scored a lot of points. There are even some Eve/Juliette/Nick moments, too. It's an

 episode I would rewatch over and over again.  Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Sleepless in Portland: Grimm "Bed and Breakfast"

This week's episode of Grimm had that Bates Motel feel to it with a good amount of fear and some memorable hilarious moments.

"Bed and Breakfast" may not be to anyone's like but it sure did play to mine. It served a really good monster of the week of an Alpe, a wesen who can't sleep goes around a hotel and sucks the melatonin off of their victims so they can sleep.

For Nick and Hank to capture this Alpe, they're going to need bate and who wouldn't be perfect for that, Monroe! Bring in Monroe was the highlight of the episode that just brought that Nick and Monroe bromance that we all love through the past five seasons.

As Monroe gets set, he goes to be and as Nick and Hank watch from outside with a camera in the room, they see the camera moving, Nick and Hank get in there just in time before that Alpe sucked Monroe's head but didn't get there in time when it paralyzed him with it's breathe.

As Hank and Nick get in there, it was gone but found a hidden passage way and followed it, leaving Monroe still paralyzed and him yelling for Nick to help him. Hank and Nick chase it to another room and ran after who apparently was the manager, who happen to be a wesen but the wrong one they're looking for. When Monroe was finally fit to walk and talk he meets them and then went back into another tunnel and chased it to another room a different room.

With suspects going from the manager to the old man who probably lives in that hallway, it really kept me guessing until it was finally....the hotel owner.

After a nice chat of options to give her, she tries to attack Nick but stumbles and falls on the edge of the table dead from head injury.

Meanwhile, Nick takes a closer look into those symbols that Eve drew in the tunnel. With Rosalee and Monroe looking up what they all mean, they went with what they knew of the seven circle figures. With Monroe and Nick gone to do their thing, Rosalee and Eve went on and figure out what this calendar could mean with a program that Rosalee had.

Trying to line the planets up with the calendar, there seemed to be nothing in the past that matched it but when it went into the future say March 24, 2016, all planets lined up. Mark your calendars Grimmsters!

Other note: Sean gets a visit from Black Claw demanding to still go with the plan, but he refused and ordered him out. Sean meets with Meisner again but this time, Meisner warned him about Black Claw attacking him. With a little help, Renard kills both that guy he met and the officer that was with him. The one thing we heard from Meisner after that was that was on the right side and then left.

This was a very good monster of the week episode. I'd enjoyed it like it. Like I said, it had fear and plenty of humor to go around. I couldn't get enough of the scenes with Monroe where he's in his room, where he meets with the Alpe, when Nick tells the paralyzed Monroe that he has to go after it. I literally couldn't stop laughing. And I'm pretty happy that we finally got to learn what those symbols mean now and it finally played off knowing the date of it too. Didn't have much Renard/Meisner time or Nick/Adalind time either, which happens to upset Nadalind fans. I might have been disappointed but it would have been too much. And besides, next week's episode will be something to tune in for anyway.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Bugged-Eye Grimm: Grimm "The Seven Year Itch"

Well, this episode will probably make you bug out one way or another.

"The Seven Year Itch" may not have enough story development for one thing but it was entertaining anyway.

The monster of the week happens to be one mother of a bug, that calls itself that party monster. This wesen happens to come out every seven years and goes out to hunt for an plus size female to take with him to feed while underground, nothing wrong there, right?

It just so happens to be one of the founders of the park over 150 years ago. The story plot was fine for this, it develop well until the end, when Hank, Nick and Wu were battling it in the park and all of the sudden the victim that the Wesen was taken happen to be a Wesen that look like a Rhino. I find it too quick but yet one of the most WTF moments of the episode.

Other moments during the episode: One we all waited for Monrosalee baby, what are they gonna have? Well, it turns out that they're going to have triplets. I think I called that in the preview (just because triplets are a hit on NBC (This Is Us)). I enjoyed that moment the most.

Adalind and Eve: That would probably be the nerve wracking moment. Just seeing those two together after all of this mess. Diana tells Adalind that Eve was in the wall and is sick, Adalind helps her up and tries to nurse her but Diana goes in the tunnel and sees Eve's art work of what she saw. Adalind tells Eve she apologizes  and just as she does Nick comes and talks to Eve. Nothing else happens after that, even though Eve thinks she doesn't belong there, you think?!

Probably the one thing that could probably develop more was Renard's story line wit Meisner. After a long night, Renard goes to a pawnshop for help to get rid of the evil spirit from his body. Doing so with a giant toy box shape, Renard gets in (and once again gets naked) and the spirit comes out but does so attacks the shop owner and changes to Meisner.

Meisner then turns the machine on high and it seemed to burn Renard til we see him fully clothed and in shop with everything all gone. I really couldn't tell if Renard was in another world or Meisner was back in the real world. I would love to see more in this episode.

I enjoyed this episode with the writing to be good, but not as it was in the previous episodes. I think the one thing I'll remember from this episode would happen to be the bug Wesen, Monroe and Rosalee and even the Adalind/Eve moment. But I will say this that Renard and Meisner does have another humorist moment during the first scene together. Plus Nick, Wu and Hank at the park investigating the crime scene of a dead body at the park that happens to be naked. Overall, I give it a 7.5/10.

A Wesen Twist: Grimm "El Cuegle "

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.

"Oh My God...."Grimm "Oh Captain, My Captain"

HOLY CRAP!!!! I think that's probably what I could describe in this week's explosion of Grimm.

"Oh, Captain My Captain" had everything we probably wanted and then some. I think when it's all said and done, this episode would have to be in my top ten list of favorite episodes.

With Nick still on the run, he plans to get back at Renard, being Renard himself. By that, he'll have to use the same trick that Adalind and Eve had pulled off, or as I love to call it, the hat trick.

But for it to work, they'll need some of Renard's hair, which left it up to Adalind and Monroe. The scene when Adalind gives Monroe Renard's hair and clothes and soon Renard shows up to change his shirt. Adalind puts him in the closet to get Renard out of the room. That scene was one of many humorist moments of the episode

When Monroe brings in a hair sample, Nick breathes in from the hat. He does nothing for a few seconds, but he soon works and transforms into a creepy, weird, and sweaty Renard. Nick freaks out because he's still in woge mode, but Rosalee calms him down. Another funny scene comes when Hank gets to the shop, and as he comes in, Nick yells at him about his resignation papers and gets Hank pissed off until Eve asks him if that is good. Hank's looks were just too funny.

Nick planned to go on live TV and announce that Renard would be stepping down as the new Mayor. Of course, the real Renard hears about it as Adalind tries to keep him in the house til the live announcement. Renard leaves with frustration and heads over to the station.

Nick and Hank get into the Captain's office and clean the place, taking the laptop and papers. Until Renard's new replacement captain comes in and wants to talk to Renard about the news, pissed off because Renard gave him a deal, kill Rachel Wood's partner, and he'll get the job. But Nick tells him that he won't get it due to blood on the shirt, and the guy woge and soon leaves.

Nick starts to feel something painful but moves on and tries to get out of there, but the press comes in asking questions. As he leaves them, he bumps into Renard at the parking lot, and he and Nick face off, but only for a bit until the press gets there.

Hank, Nick, and Wu return with what they've earned, but a sight problem comes: Nick can't change back. Well, his body was tired when he was in Renard's office. So when Renard called, they agreed to meet at Nick's loft on the rooftop.

As the two meet up, they exchange a couple of funny lines; one of them, if Nick shoots Renard, would that be considered suicide? The two finally battle it out until they can't take either down. But they made truths to go back to the showings and that Nick would raise his son and Adalind would come with him, but Diana would have to be shared with Adalind and Renard.

Nick gets back to the shop as Renard; no one can't find a way to help change back. But then Monroe wonders if Nick is Nick; that could be just the real Renard. But Eve figures they should ask Nick a question that only Nick knows. Adalind asks the first question about where they had their first kiss; he replies that it was at the table in their loft or in the woods that took her powers (yes, I still consider that a kiss). Adalind relaxes and tells everyone that it's Nick and that the kiss that took her powers wasn't a kiss. (yes, it was!!).

Without knowing how to change Nick, Diana soon wakes up and greets her daddy. Nick turns around, and she asks him what had happened, but he tells her that things are okay. She put her hand on his chest, and her eyes changed. And she told him he wasn't her daddy and pushed him with full force across the shop. But that helped Nick change back to himself, and Adalind rushed to his side and hugged each other, but as he looked at Diana and she looked at him, I'm not sure things were good.

As Renard gets to his home, he hears someone in the dark across the room. The guy says that he's still on the wrong side, and who pops up, Meisner!

This was hands down one of the best episodes so far. It had thrills, laughs, and excitement! Since it aired, I've watched it more times than the previous episodes. The writing was excellent. I thought that Claire and Silas did a fine job in that scene of picking clothes and hiding from Renard. Russell and Sasha had a heated exchange after Nick turned into Renard.

Give props to Sasha, too, for doing double duty along with the stunt doubles. It's probably one of his best works so far. As a Nadalind fan, I loved that scene when Adalind and Nick hugged each other after Nick turned back. I think we could all use a #NadalindHug after this episode.

And what can I say about David Giuntoil's television directorial debut? It was amazing!! I loved the camera work during the fight scene and when Nick was breathing in the smoke from the hat. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Grimm "Trust Me Knot"

Trying to escape, making a bloody deal and a fun way of babysitting, this week's episode of Grimm might has been addicting just like Nick and his stick.

"Trust Me Knot" picks off where we left in the previous episode, Renard has his squad (cops) moving towards Bud's shop, while Nick sees them coming he pushes everyone back to the shop. And just before that all happens with a nervous Monroe, he tells everyone Rosealee's pregnant.

Just as that happens, Hank and Wu arrested Renard for the murder of Rachel Wood. Of course, he had no choice and it just seem so good to watch him being take down, even if it was for that minute.

Moments later the squad breaks in and grabs Nick. As they search him, one officer finds the stick and with a second later the stick just so happens to blow the squad out, out cold. Something really tells me that this isn't just a healing stick after all. That gave Nick time to dress up and divert the others out as they think that Nick got away. That gave them enough time to take the SWAT truck and drive off to some place safe, this time the underground where Monroe tells Nick there's another way in.

I don't know about you, but when Hank and Wu walked Renard in the station to the interrogation room, I just got the chills from that scene. I think watching them interview him about the murder and given his alibi, for which he tells them Bonaparte (but they didn't know that he's dead til Nick told them later).

Renard calls for a layer, Adalind, for help. She asked Rosealee and Monroe to look after the kids. Monroe worried about Diana and who wouldn't, right? But I think that babysitting Diana would be a pretty cool time, consider what she has done while Uncle Monroe was watching her. She levitated a lot jars at the spice shop making a really pretty scene.

Meanwhile, Adalind gets meeting with Renard and he asked her to help get him out. But she doesn't want to lie and get in trouble too so she turned him down (thinking of her children first). But when Nick calls her he asked for a favor about making a deal with someone who hates him. He tells her to meet him at the place where she told him she loved him (the loft or from).

As Hank and Wu bring Renard to the loft, there Nick tells him that he know where he was the night of Rachel's murder. There he tells him in order to keep that from leaking, he'll make a deal for his release and not come after him and that would be Adalind testifies where he was. With this deal there has to be common ground agreement and nothing says that like a Trust Me Knot, which is a blood oath that both keep their side of the deal: Adalind testifies for Renard and Nick can be free.

The scene with Adalind spilling blood on the rope for the trust me knot to work was amazing!!!

While back at the shop, nothing seems to work on that cloth. But when Diana comes down, she can see everything on it and draws it on paper. To them it's something that none of them: Rosealee, Monroe and Adalind has ever seen. Seems like we got ourselves a mystery here.  But while figuring that out, Trubel gets a call from H.W. and requested her to come. She has to leave but she wants Nick to come too as they're calling for Grimms. Nick tells her that he can't (after looking at Adalind).

But moments later when Hank called that Renard's trial was happening now, but that deal that they made turn out different when the Judge called for a mistrial and Renard went free, which means that the deal has been broken like it never happened. That means that Nick is back on the hiding and Adalind (even though she doesn't like it) has to go back living with Renard (for which I wouldn't agree because of Renard's meeting with the Judge and ADA about killing Nick and his friends). Renard calls one of his officers and told them to get Nick and walks out smiling.

This was a really good episode, from beginning to the end. There were some intense moments like from the beginning. There were humorist moments like Uncle Monroe babysitting Diana and Bud calling Renard "a dick." There was a lot that filled up and satisfied and also worried towards the next installment. I thought that Sarah Roz was amazing along with David Giuntoli, mostly during the can't resist holding the stick. And not to mention, Hannah Loyd as Diana. She's really stealing some great scenes. The writing was excellent. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Grimm "Fugitive" Season Premiere

I know it's been a week since the season premiere of Grimm, but I wanted to take my time by re-watching it over and over to get a feel of it and let me say: I still got the same feelings when I watched it the first time.

"Fugitive" is a real roller coaster ride of an episode as it starts from where they left off when Nick and Renard are at a standstill after Renard killed Bonaparte. From then on, he goes off to the races with the team Grimm underneath the loft, trying to find a way out. When he returns to check on Nick, he almost gets his neck cut by Trubel.

When he returns to his place, he tells her that Bonaparte is dead and that he did it but doesn't remember how. But it gives him a good guess that Diana was the one that did it. As soon as he gets his stuff h, he tells her that she should fall in love with him and that she'll pay the hard way.

Renard puts an APB out on Nck, dead or alive, for the acts that he has caused. Wu and Hank return to the station to check things out, while Monroe and Rosalee decide not to tell anyone about the pregnancy (because who knows what will happen next, right?). Nick calls Adalind to see if he's okay and asks him to come over. He gets there, and it's one of those calm moments of the episode that we'll call (for Nadalind fans) the best scene when they kiss and agree with Kelly.

When Rosealee, Monroe, Ee, and Trubel get to the spice shop, Eve and Monroepickupp pick up the dead bodies, and the hand of the dead body grabs on. Eve is in a trans and sees the guy pulling her. Rosealee calls this a death grip aandsto,p and she stops chopping. Itshabitatt seems that the stick is more powerful than we all think, and maybe not keep it for a while, but for Nick, I don't think he'll let it go.

Nick gets word about the APB out on him and hides at Bud's shop. He gets the gang back to see what he can do next. The best part would be to leave as you soon Renard gets Bud's place on surveillance,

Meanwhile, when Hank and Wu return, they get test results on Rachel Wood's Wood findings that Renard's fingerprints were over. It seems they have a hand to stop Renard.  It leaves on a nice cliffhanger that probably wanted us to wish this a two-hour premiere.

This was a great kick-off to the season premiere; in a way, it rained at 1,000 miles per hour!!! I loved it, I IIownedt, and as it ended, I w I a, need more of it. I loved the Nick/Adalind and Monroe/Rosealee scenes as they provided calmness before the intense rush came through. The writing was good, and even the actors were terrific. Overall, I give it a 9/10.

Shows Coming to an End:
Bones (FOX): After 11 seasons the on air the hit FOX drama closes it's case for one last season. I've been a fan since the beginning, when I saw the first trailer for the show. Then when it came to the premiere I fell in love with these characters, mostly Temperance Brennan, because she was different than I've seen on television for a female lead. Plus it was on before FOX's other hit show, House, M.D. which during that time I called them the sister-brother combo of Tuesday night Fox ( I know it sounds weird but to me these two felt like they were siblings in a way). As much as I hate to see a series end, I'm glad that the network has given them a final run for us (the fans) to have a last go around. I'm sure these last 12 episodes will be their best ones yet.

Grimm (NBC): After five seasons, the book will come to a close on the hit NBC supernatural-cop drama.  Just like Bones, I fell in love these characters, a lot and if I'm not mistaken, it's probably the only show that hasn't really let go of it's actors. I enjoy watching Nick, Hank, Wu, Adalind, Rosealee and Monroe every week. And yes, even though some aren't into it, I'm on the bandwagon of #Nadalind. The series was so different that I loved tuning in on Fridays (and other nights it was one at the beginning). For it to end I hope there's a happy ending with 13 episodes get ready for the best of all.

Grimm: Tease into the Final Season

I think we've all been getting that emotional thrill that the season premiere of the final season of Grimm is near. Also I know everyone wasn't too happy with the shorten final season too, but the showrunners of the series sure wasn't.

"There was a chance that we would have gotten 22 (episodes), and we were going, 'Oh my God," James Kouf says, laughing telling TVLine and other visiting reporters along with David Greenwalt, another showrunner.

"That's a long trek," Greenwalt added. "We did that for five years."

"You know," Kouf added, "123 times through the fairy-tale world, and you start getting a little slim."

Even David Giuntoli, who took questions too and will make his directorial debut in the third episode points out how grateful with the cast that it's ending with plenty of notice.

"First of all, it was very lovely to be able to get a final anything in lifw here you know it's the final anything. It doesn't just get pulled out form under you, so that was nice," said Giuntoli as he chuckles. "I like to call it the Oregon, death-with-dignity, kind-of-our-hospice run."

With humor aside, Kouf and Greenwalt said that they had just enough "energy and the clarity and the creativity to push us through 12 great episodes" and the tease that the final three are "one giant movie."

Even Silas Weir Mitchell says that longtime viewers will be happy with the farewell tour, saying " I think (the writers are) trying to answer questions for the poeple that have stuck with us, man. The fans have stuck with us from this night to the night and this time to that time. Theyy deserve answers. They deserve the satisfaction of an ending."

Here are some teases:

1. The final season will be full of the show's hallmark nightitme scenes in the great outdoors. "It's lot of that feeling of the great, black forest/Portland look that we always loved and the fairy tale aspect of that," Greenwalt says.

2. With the season's call-backs to previous episodes: I'll say this: There will be a Hummel figurine," Greenwalt teases.

3. Bree Turner addresses out curiosity about Rosealee's pregnancy by saying: "There's been a few incidences where, yeah some fake bellies have come out. But also, but we've been real time, you know, fro the finale of last season. So in these 13 episodes, it's only technically 6 weeks. But they have done a couple of creative choices, through storytelling, that are really fun."

4. Greenwalt previews: "There's a very interesting time jump at the very end. There is some playing we time."

5. Nick has shown an unnatural attachment to the magic stick at the beginning of the season and his feelings may be mutual. "Not enterly so much as you might think begin to suspect from the beginning, but yeah, because this is too powerful for human hands to hold," Greenwalt says. The EP's also promises that "the stick definitely figures through the whole thing" and that any questions raised "will be answered."

6. And finally a tease about the series finale: "We're leaving it in a good place," Greenwalt says. "Great sorrow and great hope, you know?" Claire Coffee adds, "Everything's tied up. There are great reminders of why everybody liked the show to begin with and what really endeared the show to people. All of that comes back, tenfold."

Oh man, what could that be? In a good place. As much as I loved for Adalind and Nick to be together (because I really think they are the perfect couple in the series along with Monore and Rosealee), I'll be happy what the writers gives us no matter what. Ever since the promos have been released my mind has been in hyper drive. But also it's not the only show leaving in my life (Bones).

As much as I love ad enjoy watching a full 22-25 episode season, there are times where it gets tiresome. I love having a show doing it's final season with 13 episodes. If you look back at other shows like 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation, they did their best seasons with strong, character based and storytelling ending.


What are you thoughts going into the final season of Grimm? Have any theories of what will happen? What do you want the ending to be?


The final season of Grim premieres Friday, Jan. 6th at 8/7c on NBC.
