Grimm: Three Coins in a Fuchsbau
Another great episode. Grimm is on a roll. There was so much in this episode that was so good. Instead of recapping, I'm just going to mention observations and things that stood out to me.
The show has gotten away from each episode being base on a fairy tale, and just introducing us to a new Wesen each week. But this week wasn't even centered on the Wesen, it was about three rare coins that have a long history in the Wesen world. These coins have an effect on the possessor that makes them very charismatic, and makes them feel very powerful.
We haven't seen many International Wesen, and in this episode we meet an Irishman, an Austrian, a Spaniard, and a Frenchman. So, not all Wesen are in Portland, and not all are from German ancestry.
When Wesen show their true "Wesenness" it looks like the have a crick in their neck.
Nick found out that the automobile accident that killed his parents wasn't an accident. His mother, who was a Grimm, had the coins, and the killer caused the accident so he could get the coins.
Last week we found out that Renard understands Latin. Now we know he also speaks French.
Has it really only been four months since Nick found out he was a Grimm? Time certainly flies when you're fighting Wesen.
Nick's Aunt Marie was engaged to a Wesen! A Grimm and a Wesen - interesting combination.
Nick finds an old film of Hitler from 1930's Germany. Hitler is wearing the coins on the collar of his uniform. And he was a Wesen!
This episode had too little Monroe.
Question:
Don't the coins affect Grimms like they affect everyone else?
