I just disliked this episode entirely. I've watched it three times now because I never fully dislike a Grimm episode. There's ALWAYS something I like, and the best parts of this episode were just meh to me. I don't know why it didn't resonate with me on ANY level. My thoughts are:
1. Dear Juliette, so is twenty-four hours enough time for Nick to come to terms with your H'biest status? Really? You screamed your head off in such a dramatic moment when you saw yourself woged, they made a GIF out of it. Let's face it, Nick didn't physically change when he became a Grimm. In fact, his physicality (and endurance) improved, especially after zombification. Apples and oranges, m'dear. You have no face; even when Sean and Adalind were getting it on while he woged, there was no snogging. Give the poor guy some time. You took plenty of time yourself AND Nick stuck it out with you even though you didn't remember him for months and months.
2. Henrietta is a creep...and the fact that she is an equal opportunity helpmate to ANYONE who asks her means I will never trust her. Also, now that Sean is tempted by Adalind again really ensures that he and Nick are going to go head-to-head.
3. Adalind's baby scenario....so over-the-top ridiculous. Thank you, Grimm writers for going to the "Bold and the Hairy" because as "The Wesen Turns" the "Young and the Senseless" only prove these are "The Days of the Life of a Grimm." Nail head hit--soap opera. Also, another potential reason Nick and Sean will go head-to-head.
4. WoW wasn't horrible, just not fully-formed. I've thought many times this season that, to do justice to all the balls in the air, the WoW should go to a two-episode format to fully form the story. This allows all story arcs to be well-written and to advance. There could have been so much more done with all the rabbit literature references and character formation.
5. Nice hook by Rosalee! Chica CAN fight. She and Monroe...my heroes of this episode and, somehow, they ended up being the sane, quiet port in the storm.
Does anyone get the feeling that the writers are almost forsaking season 4 just to figure out how to end the series in season 5? This was in the back of my mind more than once during my (multi) viewing of this episode.
Just sigh.
