Grimm: Natural Born Wesen

This episode starts off right where "Face Off" ended, with Nick unconscious after taking the "blood-red/rice pudding" potion. Juliette, of course doesn't have any idea what's going on. And then, when Nick comes to, Juliette and Renard have to drink a disgusting potion of their own (luckily, neither of them know what the main ingredient is). And then Juliette has to deal with the side-effects.

But that's not all. We get another Wesen crime that Nick, Hank, and Monroe have to deal with. And the Wesen community is up-in-arms with all of the events. Ah, I love Grimm. I'm so glad it's back.

Observations:

I love how Monroe tries to explain why they had to give Nick a potion that knocks him out and turns his face all red, just to try to make the obsession between Juliette and Renard go away.* He's very eloquent.

I knew there had to be some side-effects to the potion for Juliette, but I didn't expect that her floor would disappear. And the fun of detox begins.

Wesen started the great witch hunts of the 17th century.

There is no love lost between Nick and Renard.

Renard doesn't seem to have any floors missing. *wink* What are his side-effects?

The question still remains - what is Renard's agenda. He has kept Nick safe, he wants to work with Nick, but is it because he's a good guy, or because he wants to beat his royal family's proverbial "rear-end"? Renard says he trusts Nick more than he trusts his family.

I love how not subtle Monroe is in the Wesen bar. He went in looking for information, and instead he ended up starting a lot of action.

The Wesen criminals think they have committed the perfect crime because no one can ID them, but they don't know that the cop they're dealing with is a Grimm. They're goin' down. But not for 20 more minutes. *wink*

Monroe makes quinoa blueberry pancakes and spinach, basil and walnut puree maple syrup. Where does he get these recipes?

Are Rosalee and Renard reporting the crime to the same organization?

When you have three criminals working together, and two of them are a couple, the third one usually starts having second thoughts about the whole thing, with tragic results for the third wheel. I've seen the plot in so many other shows.

Those flashlights are a dead give-away that someone's there. Don't they know that?

Renard didn't look surprised at the attack on the criminals. Hmm.

Quotes:

Renard: How can I explain something I don't fully understand?

*Monroe: There are a lot of things in the human body, hormonal and chemical, that can trigger these inexplicable emotional nuclear meltdowns. And what we're dealing with is sort of a "pheromone gone wild" fiasco. All we're attempting to do is to reverse the pheromonical behavior before something even worse happens.

Juliettte: What is that?
Rosalee: Just a flavoring to cut the bitterness.

Monroe: I think the "alone" was a step in the right direction.

Monroe: When this gets out, it's gonna spread fast. And a lot of Wesen are gonna freak. And when you get the Wesen community freaked, somebody is going to know somebody who knows somebody who knows something. So, I'm gonna start askin'.

Sergeant Wu: That is one heck of a mask.

Nick: Still having feelings for Juliette?
Renard: You wanna go there first?
Nick: I do.

Renard: I've protected you in situations you're not even aware of.
Nick: Do you want a bouquet?

Renard: If you and I can overcome our differences, we can make history.
Nick: And if we can't?
Renard: Well, then history will bury us.

Monroe: This is a Wesen bar. You gotta "woge" your ID at the door.

Monroe: Nick, you know, this is a pretty serious situation. If you can't get the hard evidence you need, you might just have to put your badge aside and deal with this as a Grimm.

Monroe: Taste is a small price to pay for health.
(I say health is a small price to pay for taste. *wink*)

Sergeant Wu: Deja vu all over again.

Renard: Nick tells me you know what's going on.
Hank: Let's just say I've been initiated.
Renard: Welcome to the club.

Disembodied voice: I just want you to know the truth.
