Top 5 Grimm Moments by Season
Season 3, #1: Trubel learns the truth in 3×19, “Nobody Knows the Trubel I’ve Seen”
Never have I seen a character introduced so late in the game capture a fandom so completely. Everyone loves Trubel, everyone. I have found no dissenters amongst our ranks. And with the kind of introduction she got in this episode, who could blame us?
Trubel is a–well, troubled young woman who’s had a difficult life, and somehow Jacqueline Toboni manages to portray her as both fragile and tough as nails, all at once. You don’t want to piss Trubel off in a dark alley, but you also do want to wrap her in blankets and feed her bacon. She exudes a perpetual 50/50 mix of “fight me” and “protect her” that is on display in this scene like in no other.
Just imagine: she thought she was alone, all her life. Alone with the monsters and the fear. And then she just happens to bump into someone who tells her that she’s not alone, that not all scary things are monsters, and that she doesn’t have to be afraid anymore. The look on her face says it all: this was the moment a girl who’d been drowning her entire life finally felt her head break the water’s surface.
And it was such a turning point for Nick, as well. Prior to this, he’s had friends and family surrounding and supporting him, but no one who really knew what it was like. Marie and Kelly were raised in it. Monroe and Rosalee grew up in the Wesen world, and their perspective on what it means to be a Grimm is vastly different from his own. Juliette and Hank are (at this point, anyway) both human, and they don’t see the world the way he does, even if they do know what’s out there.
Then suddenly, there’s this girl who gets it. She wasn’t brought up in this. No one explained. No one warned her. She just…woke up one day and saw things no one else could see, things she couldn’t explain. And unlike Nick, she had no Monroe to guide her through it all or have her back when things got rough at the very beginning.
It’s no surprise that Nick is so drawn to help her, or that they bond so quickly and so permanently. The chemistry between them–not even romantic chemistry, just that raw indefinable something that makes certain performances spark off one another–is always incredible, and the roots of that are all here, in this masterful scene.
