Summarize an episode in a haiku.

What, no limericks?! Cultural chauvinist!

Summarizing in limerick is a worthy challenge, but it is a [i]different[i] challenge. Don't move the goalposts.

Good one, wfmyer1207
No good at limericks and can't offer anything about a specific episode, but here's a fractured haiku called "Some Blutbaden": (had to fix the plural spelling, sorry about that.)
Stars wheeling across
the sky - night reaching
for day.
Underneath whose paleness
he runs, seeking
the haven of shadow.
He hurls a last howl
at the waning moon,
in release.
An obeisance to all
that is sweet and wild
in him.
Before surrendering to the day.

Thanks @Elkhound for the idea!
I had to google what a Haiku is.@speakeasy I like your Blutbad. Very blutbadish!
OK, trying to make an episode-haiku:
Golden feathers
trembling fingers
"What's your emergency?"

Very nice. Thinks it's a fine summary of:

This is fun!

"La Llorona"
Mother is weeping
She longs, but they are still gone
She takes what is lost
Children are reaching
They are innocent for now
Innocence is gone
She sacrifices
Her lost shall never return
Weeping endlessly
Heroes come for them
From the darkness, they are redeemed
The lost are still gone
(In my defense. This is my very first attempt at haiku.
)

"Pilot"
Will love not redeem him
They are hidden but soon seen near
Is this not madness
From past time love comes
On this path, his feet she set
Love is rekindled
Evil follows, struggle on
No peace for her, even dying
Hollow victory
Evil falls, as does she
Her heart's son, she caresses
With life's last breath

Very fine examples, I enjoyed reading them.
Let's have some more, everyone.Think we're on to something here - a Grimm-based Live Poets Society!
