I love how the second Monroe decides he’s all in on this Grimm thing, he also immediately decides he and Nick should try to be normal pals every once in a while. xD

Which leads to the scene that gave us this fantastic reaction gift:

What on EARTH was she giving someone prednisone for that they needed to take it EVERY DAY? When my doctor prescribed it to me she told me to take as small a dose as possible, as seldom as I could and still manage my symptoms. Because that shit can have serious side effects.

AAAAAAAAAGH IT’S SO FRUSTRATING. Nick wanted to tell Juliette as far back as EPISODE TEN. And he should have!

Like Monroe, I love you. But Juliette is not THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMANS. She could absolutely have handled it.

I mean, I get it. At this point Monroe is basically a loner hermit who’s half-afraid of his own nature and still getting used to having A Single Friend (of COURSE his first friend in years would be a freaking Grimm too), so he’s extra wary of telling anyone anything.

(And Nick still should have made the decision anyway, but his One Mentor in this new life of his is saying no so I get that too.)

BUT STILL. IT’S SO FRUSTRATING TO WATCH AGAIN.

I just…I feel bad for Marty. His dad was such an abusive jerk, and then he’s finally free of him but he literally starts hallucinating every bully in his life as having his father’s face.

That doesn’t at all excuse his treatment of Natalie toward the end, poor girl (which I think he understood on some level, given he started hallucinating himself with his father’s face). But he definitely needed therapy and help and I doubt he’ll get it in prison.
