Grimm Season 6 Episode 5
Over the course of six seasons, the cast of Grimm has had its share of itches that needed to be scratched. The majority of the action has taken place in tony Portland, with temporary European jaunts to hunt for treasures and rescue a hexenbiest from a foreboding castle. Who and what has been buried demands to be unearthed and reborn in the secular and magical worlds on the show. Nick didn’t choose to be a Grimm, no more than Rosalee and Monroe chose life as a Wesen. They’ve all had to bury dreams of a normal, human existence in exchange for a steep learning curve as supernatural crime fighters. Human and supernatural beings alike, always want something different or more than what’s readily available. The desires change and are colored by any number of hopeful outcomes and emotions. Juliette lost her way and gave up hope for the picket fence she wanted once. Weighed down by Nick’s integral role in combating shady or evil Wesen that happened through town, she began making irreversible, ill-formed decisions. One such misjudgment led to Nick’s mother’s head being delivered in a box. The plus-size Wesen we’re later introduced to in the episode has had a series of bad dates. She’s burrowed inside herself, insecure, waiting not for a knight to rescue her, but to be seen and appreciated. It’s not her fault that transmitting her itch was received by a carnivorous insect. Eve apologized to Adeline and Nick, knowing full well that their time together ended not just because of her previous betrayal, but with Nick’s happiness as a father. He’s moved on with Adeline, and now it’s her turn to put her house in order. Renard doesn’t know what to believe as Meisner continues haunting him for his gracious favor of putting him out of his misery with a bullet to the head. He didn’t think about the consequences of his actions, and can’t control when and where he has to battle a ghost. Rosalee and Monroe received confirmation of their having more than one child as Diana predicted. She’s pregnant with triplets, and will have to act accordingly to ensure their save births. How much control will they have as fellow team members moving forward? How and why are Diana and Eve telepathically linked, but not Diana and Adeline? Eve in her former more powerful incarnation probably took parts of Diana’s mother we’re yet to know. Conventional wisdom would have us believe the bonds are mismatched. In a surprising turn of events, the chubby woman from the bar wasn’t a pushover after all. After a sneak attack, it was revealed that she’s Wesen, and able to fend for herself. No one in Argentina need to cry for her anytime soon!
