Agreed. I've don't recall him speaking like that to Nick before either; usually it's Nick who has an aggressive tone in his voice when they talk. Maybe this cold-hearted Captain has a bit of a conscience after all and is feeling the same kind of guilt he senses in Nick about ordering the murder of his cousin, Eric. Conscience over having to do violence is the distinction between being willing to do what it one feels is necessary and being a monster with no regret over taking a life, so I hope so.
That was one of my favorite scenes Maybe Renard got a little irritated because Nick kept complaining about killing that guy? But Renard is right, Nick just feels guilty because the guy wasn't wesen... He did kill some wesen but the captain maked it sound like he's some evil grimm who kills every wesen he sees (because of the ''that's what grimms do, isn't it''). But is was the hard truth..
Loved this scene too, and the episode in general. Sometimes I prefer the simple wesen of the week formula, and I did feel the first two episodes of this season were very linear (however necessary that was).
In terms of the scene with Nick and the Captain, I think it served a couple of purposes. Firstly, it kind of reaffirmed the Captain as a character who's true intentions toward Nick are somewhat murky. Over the last couple of episodes he has shown lots of concern for Nick - sometimes bordering on the fatherly. This redresses that to an extent.
Secondly, I think the writers felt a timely reminder that Nick is perfectly prepared to kill wesen if it is unavoidable would make his later 'shooting' of Monroe more believable.
Also, I thought the Raven & Rose looked like a wonderful place - the building itself was beautiful. Has anybody here eaten there in the past?
