I'm glad you brought up the completely fake and totally unbelievable treasure hunt starring crusaders Nick and Monroe. My husand and I watched that episode last night and I had to cringe once again at the ruination of archaeological finds by the featured bozos. Not to mention how convenient it was that these two managed to even find this artifact in the first place and steal it without attracting attention.
I enjoy Nick/Monroe scenes as as much as anyone but them finding the treasure as easily as they did was farfetched. I couldn't even get past the part where they fell into the ancient church. I would think some random tourist would have fallen in there long before Nick and Monroe. Archaeologists would have been all over that site. Were they really the first two people to disturb that land?
I also felt it should have been much more dangerous for a Grimm and a Blutbad to be travelling around the Black Forest. I got the impression that they aren't used to seeing Grimms out there so wouldn't they wonder why one suddenly showed up. The myth of the keys leading to a priceless treasure is probably known to some of them due to being passed down through generations. I would think they would get suspicious after seeing Nick even if they thought it was just a myth. I was getting nervous thinking Nick would lead them right to it. This plot needed more room to breathe.
