For me, this ep probably highlights one of Grimm's most apparent flaws, and that is the plot's speed and tightness. This season had a much more "aimless" quality than Season 3 did so the story seemed to take a very long time to fold out. Ultimately, this was a lukewarm episode for me.
I agree that the second season felt less focused but I think it was so much tied to the meandering and lacklustre Renard/Juliette plot line that tended to splash onto everything else, so anything with potential ended up being tarnished and weighed down by the miasma that, that particular storyline brought to the episodes .
Doctor: You betrayed me … betrayed my trust. You betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything that I’ve ever stood for. You let me down!
Clara: Then why are you helping me?
Doctor: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?
