What if Zuri is one of the crazy wesen that’s part of black claw and is trying to get back in with Hank to lure him away from Nick?…i mean she did refer to Nick as “the Grimm”…

I (Mod Siobhan) think you’re right! A sudden change of heart, being in Hank’s local food shop* when it’s waay across town from where she lives, her previous very rigid stance on Human/Wesen relationships. Her brother is away at college, so not in harm’s way, and she did grill him a bit about Nick…

And since we’ve not seen Black Claw specifically go after Nick, only attack him when he was with HW, this must be their plan, since there is no way they think they can hold Portland with Nick still alive…

(*Grocery store? Siobhan can’t American very well)

I’d like to add that Zuri asked Hank to go to her house, instead of going out in public. Her house, which is the other side of town, where she would feel comfortable and would not be seen with Hank.

Also, notice the way Hank has been acting around her? He’s been dealing with Wesen for quite a while now, and should not be so nervous/anxious/tense(?) around her. Admittedly, I did try to rationalise it with the idea that he hadn’t quite thought through a relationship with a Wesen when he originally asked her out, and now is having second thoughts about it. However it makes much more sense for Hank to be tense because his instincts are telling him something is wrong.

I meant to say about the house thing, but then I wondered if that was an Americanism, because you do not go round to someone’s house on a first date in Britain unless they’re like, already your friend or like neighbours or something.

Looks like it’s not, and it is very suspicious, especially since she didn’t even think about going out – Hank barely finished his sentence before she was ready with that one, she’d clearly planned it out to be like that rather than a spur of the moment decision, or just an option.

I do think Hank is anxious and his instincts are pinging, ‘cause mine are. Even if you were desperate for a second chance with someone, there’s ‘I’MREALLYSORRYGOONADATEWITHME’ and Zuri’s literal ‘I’m not leaving until I get a date with you’.

Which is not only creepy, but not like Zuri at all, especially since she obviously felt Hank came on way too strong before and reacted that way. She was nice and chatty, but to me seemed very introverted, and not like this new Zuri who practically threw herself at Hank? I know people change, but it’s just not like the Zuri I remember who like, ate a dude. I think she’s not the Zuri Hank remembers, and that’s also why he feels weird about it.  Didn’t he also take a few moments to put a name to her face as well, whereas she knew him straight away, almost like she was waiting for him…
