Hi, I want to find Nick’s jacket from the 14th episode of the 5th season aka lykanthropia

Okay, so this was extremely challenging because that episode aired like a year and a half ago, and they likely bought the coat the fall before that if not before, soooo we’re looking at an item that was most likely available two years ago.

But Admin D was more than up to the challenge! After some digging, she came up with the following two sources:

Nau Clothing: If you’re looking for the most likely candidate for the company that made Nick’s jacket, look no further than Nau. Nau is a Portland-based clothing company that specializes in high-quality clothing made from sustainable materials. Their selection of men’s jackets for Fall 2017 may not have the exact item Nick wore in the episode, but I’m sure you’ll find the styling familiar. I can easily imagine Nick, Hank, and even Monroe bundled up for cooler weather in some of their recent items.

Old Navy: If what you want is a more affordable option for cosplaying Nick Burkhardt, Old Navy’s sweater-fleece shirt jacket for men is available in light gray or hunter green for $55. The pockets and the color aren’t quite the same as the one he wore in the episode, but the collar is just as pop-able, and the overall design of the jacket still fits that “Portland Grimm” aesthetic quite nicely.

So at the end of last week’s episode, it looked like maybe Wu was in for a bout of lycanthropy. Pretty sure this storyline won’t be resolved/revealed fully until “The Taming of the Wu,” but do you think Wu will realize something weird is going on? If he does, do you think he’ll feel comfortable telling anyone on Team Grimm? And if so, who would he tell first?

DONT U DARE HURT WU, GRIMM. NOT AGAIN. LEAVE OUR WU ALONE. 

And now it looks like he might be a Lycanthrope if that is possible.

Initially after watching this, I thought it seemed weird that it would suddenly be possible for Wu to end up a lycanthrope, considering Monroe said earlier in the episode that the disease that causes lycanthropes is specific to blutbaden. It actually bothered me a lot…it just didn’t seem to fit with what information we’d been given, and I was annoyed at the thought of the writers creating drama that didn’t fit within their own stated facts about their universe.

But then I talked to Admin D ( @irreverentcatalyst ), and as always she shed some light on the possibilities.

Consider what we know about lycanthropes: they’re incredibly violent and completely out of control, to the point that blutbaden who are even suspected of suffering from the condition are usually killed before they even reach adulthood. Which would make them incredibly rare and unlikely to be encountered by anyone, much less a human.

Now also remember that Nick and his friends aren’t just rare, they’re unheard of. Some humans might know about the Wesen world, sure, but humans, Wesen, and Grimms fighting alongside one another? That just does not happen. Ever. They’ve broken like a thousand different written and unwritten rules of their world, and a lot of times in order to solve these cases they’re breaking entirely new ground in one way or another. Which means a team of skilled and capable humans, Wesen, and a Grimm working together have never faced off against a lycanthrope the way Team Grimm did.

So it’s incredibly likely that no one has ever had the opportunity to observe what a lycanthrope’s scratch or bite would actually do to a survivor of their attacks, because it’s very unlikely that anyone, much less an ordinary human, has ever survived such an encounter.

Or, if it has happened, it was so long ago that it’s morphed into the stories we now have of werewolves, which of course Wesen would write off as sensationalism in the same way that Monroe has previously scoffed at some fairy tales depicting blutbaden as “the big bad wolf.”
