But did you notice that the hunter spoke with a vaguely Scots or Irish accent? Who was Peter Rabbit's nemesis in the story? Mr. MacGregor.
Good connection there. Also, I noticed a BP connection in using the name Beatrice for the mother. All that was lacking was a sister named Flopsy or Mopsy.
I liked all the rabbit references of this episode. Kinda took a little of the edge off viewing the horror of the bloody person-sized rabbit foot standing under the bed of the couple wanting to conceive - definitely not a turn-on. Peter did resemble the sheep-like wesen to me when he woged, but the mom had more prominent rabbit ears, haha, guess it's an age thing. Sis was awesome and showed she could think as quick as a bunny. Went there.
I'm am now in official mourning for the Juliette we once knew. Got a sinking feeling she won't be coming back. In her place is a happy, shiny hexenbiest, of a most impressive configuration. The universe no longer makes sense to me; next thing you know, they'll be telling us a Grimm and a Wesen can have a child together!
Although I'd like to see Nick and Juliette stay together, I predict they won't. And if J stays this way, I hope they don't, because I wouldn't enjoy the new basis for their relationship, comprised of a potentially dangerous, touchy, vengeful hexenever, trying to live under the same roof with what I regard as her constitutional, psychological and biological opposite. I'll live, though, and will probably get used to the idea.
