Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense. Kinda.
Yeah, the deal with Juliette and the captain is basically neither one of them wants the affair. The captain because he knows its artificial origins and the disaster it would be, and Juliette because she doesn’t know and is completely confused and afraid of her unfounded emotions. Yet they’re both frustrated by their overwhelming desire, and fighting the unnatural attraction brings out violence. My own take is the violent reactions are the only thing that can hold the effects of the spell at bay until properly treated by the antidote they are currently experiencing with Monroe and Rosalee. Hence Monroe’s dire warning.
By the way, loved Reynaud’s reaction when Nick took the drink and nothing happened for a few seconds, Julette says “That’s it?” and Nick then collapses. Reynaud: “That’s it.” 
Well, there’s also the Captain, who showed his true face again while putting a baby in Adalind. ![]()
(and Monroe and Rosalee are Wesen, too).
Must be a Comcast thing in general. Happened to me, too.
Grumble related to the spoiler info:
Unless more time has elapsed between scenes with Adalind than we think, how can that test be detecting anything if it’s the result of her trip to Portland and evening with Renard?
It’s on HULU.
It’s a good thing I checked in with this thread. My DVR did such a freaking hatchet job on the ending that I didn’t even realize the action had shifted to Austria. It sure does give some context to what, on reflection, was a weirdly random sexual encounter.
We could suppose that more time has passed, since Adalind got back to Vienna somehow, but that doesn’t really work with Nick lying on the floor and presumably picking the next episode up right where they left off.
I just go with ‘vessen’ powers here and witchy baby making - I’m not going to sweat that detail in the Grimm world.
Didn’t happen to me on Comcast.
What is the gestational time for a half ex-hexenbiest half whatever Renard is (half royal(whatverthatis) half hexenbeist?) baby? Please include cites. ![]()
My neighbor (the beaver John Oblinger) says he’ll be in this week’s episode.
The show keeps getting better and better. I loved that the captain gave the key back to Nick; he’s great as an ambiguous character.
Last year, Once Upon a Time was clearly the better show, but this season Grimm is leaving it in its dust.
Cool! I love those guys.
I spotted John in the preview for next week. Also one of the sheep guys from “The Good Shepherd” and Leroy the dizzy mauzhertz. It’s fun that they’re reusing some characters.
I liked this episode, although it would have been even better if there really HAD been an enormous pit in the house for Juliette to fall into. (I’m starting to get a sinking feeling that she’s in this for the long haul.) My damned DVR chopped off the last little bit of the show again. I’ve never really had to investigate the setting for manually adjusting the recording times, but I think I might have to look into it here. I’m a little irked.
The very end has
[SPOILER]
Juliette waking up in bed to a phone call from “unknown” - its a heavily disguised voice and the little black screen with electric snaps - as the scene progresses we find the pit of despair is under the bed and as the voice clears up (she has tossed the phone aside in fear) we hear that its the memory of Nick ‘wanting her to know (understand?) everything’ .
So, IMHO, the pit, etc are all an indication of her fractured memory - and only interaction with Nick can heal it - which was indicated at the earlier call where she was able to walk across and answer the phone and it was nick and she felt ‘better’ for a while.[/SPOILER]
I added 5 minutes to the end time of our recorder - I’m not missing any more endings. Next weeks looks killer too!
Interesting episode. Lots of Monroe and Rosalee, which is good, though Monroe’s undercover detective skills could use some work. And I like Juliette and hope she is around for the long haul, but I’m ready for this particular story line to be resolved.
The Wesen Council is something new, and a nice addition because I can see them being either an aide (as in this episode) or an adversary to Nick.
I didn’t notice the beaver guy in this episode. Was he in Rosalee’s shop with the crowd?
He was the one who said “We’ll be chased from our homes.”
Yanno, I like that. He’s a clockmaker, not a detective, and I think showing him utterly botching that is much more realistic (hee!) than a smoother approach would have been.
So what’s the deal with the big hole in the house? All in Juliette’s imagination or something real? I almost thought I was watching Buffy again.
