Grimm, especially the early seasons, is unique in its ability to make you care SO MUCH about the one-off characters. I’ve never seen another show do this so well or so consistently. So many characters feel sooo big and important even though they only show up one time, to the point that we were waiting YEARS later to hear from them again. Speculating about whether an upcoming episode would have them in it somehow. It’s wild.

Friend called Roddy as the pied piper IMMEDIATELY. Said “retchid kat” sounded too much like rat catcher.
You gotta wonder if Nick grew up a little like Roddy: always on the outside, always feeling different. In Nick’s case, never really knowing why.
I will never stop wishing we got to see more of Roddy Geiger.

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.
