Awwwwww when she finds the ring! The look on her face. I can’t with this okay? It hurts. This is the episode where we learn Nick and Juliette have been together for three years. Three years and they were happy and it was good, and they get maybe one more year of really good, happy life together before it all goes to hell.

Okay, that’s enough rewatching for me for now! Thanks for everyone who liked or replied to the Grimm Stats question I posted recently. I’ve decided to go ahead and keep going with Grimm Stats posts as text only (using the images I do have until they run out, that is). If I have a better laptop at some point in the future, I can go back and update them then.
I’ll be posting them on Wednesdays as I did before, so look out for the first one then!
Okay, so you have the Bauerschwine striking at the Blutbaden (twice, actually, seasons apart). You have Marty the Maushertz attacking bullies, including one of his natural predators (the Lausenschlange). The Mellifers fighting back against the Hexenbiests. Arguably Roddy the Reinigen falls under this category of timid Wesen fighting back, even though he wasn’t necessarily targeting a Wesen that was targeting him, per se. And you have the sheep Wesen later on in the series as well.
I think fandom often focuses on all “the bad ones” i.e. the natural predator-type Wesen who have worked hard to put that heritage of destruction and violence behind them as examples of how Wesen are not defined and shouldn’t be stereotyped by the animal side of their nature. It’s easy to forget how often the show goes the other way to touch on Wesen that are used to being stepped on who finally have enough and start to fight back.
And it’s…worth asking where a Grimm fits into this schematic. I mean clearly, Grimms haven’t historically just stuck to killing “the bad ones,” i.e. Wesen that were violent toward humans. Otherwise, Wesen like Eisbibers would seemingly have no reason to fear them. And yet.
I’m just gonnaaaa…skip the rapey goatman episode on this rewatch.
You know what I really wanted from the epilogue?
Nick Burkhardt in his mid-50s. Just as he’s beginning to come into his full Silver Fox potential.
Just. Imagine it.
Question for the followers! I’ve been wanting to finish the Grimm Stats for a long time now, but haven’t had a laptop that could hack any image editing program for over a year.
Would anyone be interested in seeing me finish the Grimm Stats for each episode, season, and the show as a whole as text posts without any graphics? With the understanding that I might go back and add graphics later if I have time and a better laptop, but also might not.
Feel free to reply with what you think!
It’s easy to forget, because that scene is confusing, but Nick actually didn’t shoot Melissa Winthrop until she had already let go of Adalind and was going for Hank.
That’s his second shooting on the job, too. Jesus Nick.
