Top 5 Grimm Moments by Season
Season 1, #1: Sweet Dreams in 1×01, “Pilot”
No other moment from season one could possibly rank higher than this one. It’s so creepy, and game-changing, and an epic use of music. It contains so much: the true introduction of Adalind as a character, and of Renard’s duality as a shady villain, not just Nick’s captain.
I’ll be honest: this scene is solely responsible for me deciding to keep watching. Before this, Grimm’s pilot was a little uneven. It was mildly interesting, but not something I was ready to invest a lot of time in. But these final moments? They changed everything. They set the tone, and they promised more. In less than a minute, this scene did what the rest of the episode alone couldn’t do: it hooked me. Five years later? Still hooked.

Season 1, #2: Next Time Send Your Best in 1×19, “Leave It To Beavers”
For this countdown I gave myself one rule: only one moment per episode. That was partly this episode’s fault, because I love every single moment in it, and could easily have chosen five just from this alone.
But as much as I love moments like Nick and Monroe rolling around the forest floor and Nick’s impassioned plea to the Eisbibers, this episode’s ending just takes the cake for me. It’s such an iconic moment, and it’s also a pretty big line crossed for Nick in terms of the cop/Grimm dichotomy.
Also, just…what a fucking statement.

Season 1, #3: Juliette saves Nick from the Siegbarste in 1×08, “Game Ogre”
The thing that was so cool about this scene for me is that it’s one of the first times we really get to see Juliette’s strength, and what kind of person she is. In fact, this short scene spells out their characters and their entire relationship in a violent nutshell:
Nick’s first instinct is to protect Juliette, to try to handle the problem himself even when it’s clear he’s out of his depth. Meanwhile, Juliette assesses the situation and acts independently, disregarding Nick’s attempts to protect her in favor of protecting him. It’s such a great scene and marked the first time Juliette really made me sit up and pay attention, because damn, girl.

Season 1, #4: Unexpected Family Reunion in 1×22, “Woman In Black”
This was the season finale that set the tone for the rest of Grimm’s season finales, and their tradition of truly unexpected twists. The sheer level of WTF contained in Nick’s flabbergasted last word of the season…I was screaming for weeks, just dying for another episode.

Season 1, #5: Roddy Geiger’s Rat Trap in 1×05, “Danse Macabre”
I can’t say enough about how much I love this entire episode, but this scene really takes the cake. It’s a great use of music and lighting and just creates such a sinister atmosphere. It’s also masterful character writing; in less than 20 minutes of screen time, they managed to make me care about this one-off character that I’d never met before and so far have never seen again.
As audience members, we sympathize with Roddy. We even, on some level, want him to succeed in his attempt at revenge on his tormentors. And this scene is a such a peak point for him: it’s the perfect marriage of everything that makes him special and everything that makes him an outcast, pulled together into one dark, twisted, beautifully rendered scene.
Four years later, I still occasionally wonder what happened to Roddy Geiger. Where is he right now? Is he okay? I still hope the Grimm Writers will bring him back someday and answer these questions.
