Grimm Season 6 Episode 4
It was a challenge not viewing “El Cuegle” through the current political lens of human rights, boundaries and expectations. If one had the ability to leapfrog several years in advance, would more people consent to sacrificing newborns and toddlers? Most parents love their children, even those who grow up to disappoint, become sociopaths, serial killers, and politicians. Viewers remain in the dark about the meaning and consequences of the stick, the cloth, and an increasing number of symbols. Are they signs and portents of evil to come? We accept that Nick, Rosalee, and Monroe represent Portland’s past. Eve and her updated hexenbiest abilities, before the accident, pushed the clock into the present. No doubt that Diana stands for the unknown future. We’re not done with Meisner, who continues to haunt Renard for double-crossing and shooting him. The visions are brought on by his guilty conscience, and Meisner’s unresolved business. Black Claw’s upset that Renard’s political career has ended. If only someone within their organization could’ve seen that happening! Diana’s fortune-telling ability is growing, yet not as accurate. There’s only so much magic that can impact the human world with competing agendas of good versus evil. Fate reared its head in a familiar Greek tragedian fashion by episode’s end. Will Rosalee and Monroe continue living in Portland with everything around them constantly changing as expectant parents? Who and what will their children grow up to become?
