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.

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.

Oh god…Nick at his mother’s grave. Well that’s fucking painful.
At least somone got to be buried.
True…but Kelly Burkhardt deserved so much better than an unmarked grave in the woods. I wish he could have buried her beside her sister.
You remember your Aunt Marie came to pick you up? Yeah. I remember everything from that night. Well Gina was staying with us. I sent her away with your father thinking they’d get away from whoever was after me. But they didn’t. Why didn’t the police identify the body with dental records?
Thanks! I’m sure the other mods are pleased too.
Me, personally, I think she must be. You don’t tend to come back from a head in a box, and if the show starts to go down the miraculous resurrection every season route, it would be a poor move. Sometimes death is death and has to stay that way – much as I love Kelly, I think she is dead.
For all those who think Nick would never have forgiven Juliette, I’d like to refer you to the absolute heartbreak on his face as the woman he loved for years–whatever she’d done in the last couple of weeks–died in his arms while choking out his name one last time.
He would have forgiven her. It would have been hard, maybe, it would have taken time. But he would have forgiven her.
This. Absolutely this.
GodDAMN. First his mother, now his long-term girlfriend. Just watch Adalind miscarry their baby, too.
QUIET. THE WRITERS MIGHT HEAR YOU. SHUSH.
