Top 5 Grimm Moments by Season

Season 2, #5: Catherine Schade vs. Kelly Burkhardt in 2×02, “The Kiss”

Catherine and Kelly actually had a lot in common. They were both fierce, talented women who found a way to survive in a harsh, cutthroat world. They were both mothers who weren’t always there for their children (although arguably for very different reasons).

I love every second of this scene. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Jessica Tuck acted the hell out of it; you can feel the tension between these two and the unspoken threat in the air from the moment Kelly enters the room. And once they start fighting, it is on.

We finally get to see Kelly’s fighting skills showcased in a scene that isn’t super brief or darkly-lit, and against an opponent that might actually be her match to boot. In fact, as Kelly herself later acknowledged, if it hadn’t been for Catherine’s unlucky fall into that shard of broken mirror, the outcome of this confrontation might have been quite different.

And the idea of Adalind just doing everything she can to please her mother and make her proud just hurts.

This line:

“A bit of it [the white powder] smudged against her skin, but she refused to wipe it off, enjoying the gritty feel of it; it helped her keep Catherine’s touch in her memory longer.”

KILLS ME. Because now I’m picturing this sweet, innocent little girl who just wants her mother to be proud of her, who’s positively starved for affection and attention, doing everything she can to get any semblance of either from Catherine.

It would certainly explain a lot to me about how adamant Adalind is about being there for her children.

This is incredibly sad, but I can totally see this being canon. What little we know about Adalind’s childhood and her relationship with her mother suggests she was treated more like a tool than a daughter for most of her life. I mean, her mother basically disowned her the second she lost her powers, so it just doesn’t seem that far-fetched.
