> [@VunderBob](#): > > This past episode was a ā€œmehā€ for me, and usually I like the eps. Besides being a weak story in both the soap opera and Monster Of The Week departments, the producers must have given the A list makeup people a gang vacation. Both the youth vampire and the doctor both had makeups that actually looked like shit was glued to the actorā€™s faces instead of the usual quality of looking like the makeups actually belonged there. > > ETA: I think just about everyone mailed it in this past week, all down the line. Yeah, decent enough concept but the ā€˜planā€™ of the wesen du jour was shit. Here, take my highly addictive gloop that is also the king of youth treatments, but go easy with it! ---

To be honest, I have not watched the last two episodes because the descriptions didnā€™t thrill me and as far as Iā€™m concerned, the show has jumped the shark, finned it, hunted three pods of dolphins and sailed straight past any shred of plausibility with itā€™s complete lack of common sense and real life consequences for anything that happens. ---

Yanno, clearly they figured the actress playing Juliette canā€™t act, so they made her into a robotic figure ā€“ and it turns out she does robotic badly, also. ---

> [@simster](#): > > however - the ā€˜sex sceneā€™ was hilarious. It was great. The best part of the episode. I like how theyā€™re handling the stick. Itā€™s show to heal, but then the writing on the cloth indicates that it might be dangerous. The writers are good at suspense. And as for Wu. Uhm, shouldnā€™t he only be exhibiting signs on a full moon? Unless they maybe they reveal that heā€™s becoming a Blutbad, or that he always was one, but it was suppressed until now. Nah, Iā€™m jus thinking too hard about it. ---

I liked this episode, but I am worried about how many plot lines there are. The tunnel Renard working with Black Claw The return of his and Adalindā€™s daughter Whatā€™s happening to Wu Adalind being a Hexenbiest again Juliette/Eve apparently not completely over Nick The healing stick Fingers crossed the handle them all satisfactorily. ---

Did I miss it? Did we see directly that Reynard is working with Black Claw? Iā€™m pretty sure he did NOT know about the murder. What we saw of Reynardā€™s mom it seems to me that hexenbiests are evil, or at least they can control their impulses. Brian ---

No, he didnā€™t know that whats-his-face was going to be killed, but afterwards he figured out that the campaign manager is working for Black Claw and was in on it. Even after that Renard seems to be going along with the plan to be the next mayor. > [@](#): > > What we saw of Reynardā€™s mom it seems to me that hexenbiests are evil, or at least they can control their impulses. > > Brian As [Henrietta](http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Henrietta) showed, they donā€™t all appear to be evil.

And even though Adalind is a hexenbiest again she seems to be OK. Well, the law firm job might be shady. My guess is that he is going along with it to get Diana back, since they promised him they could. If Iā€™m right he will stop playing along now that Diana is back, or at least let the good guys know why heā€™s doing what heā€™s doing. How the heck did Black Claw find her anyway? ---

A few episodes ago when he brought up finding Diana with Adalind on the phone, I wonder if itā€™s because a Black Claw member brought it up with him. > [@](#): > > How the heck did Black Claw find her anyway?

If Renard suspects Meisner of being part of Black Claw it could be the reason he hasnā€™t talked to anybody from [Hadrianā€™s Wall](http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Hadrian's_Wall) about running for Mayor. ---

Why the heck do they keep aging Diana? Having been born towards the end of season three she should only be three at most. Okay, I get that they wanted her to be old enough to talk so they cast a 3 or 4 year old instead of a toddler last season, but why didnā€™t they stick with _that_ kid, who did a passable job? Or at least an actress the same age? Kellyā€™s only a few months old, so very little time has passed since we last saw Diana, and this kid looks at least twice as old as the last Diana. I hope they decide to tell us Hexenbeast age faster than normal or somethingā€¦ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grimm-season-5/736187.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grimm-season-5/736187.md?page=10)
