Sort of a breather episode, eh? Back to the ol' catch the monster of the week. But not so fast! There was more weirdness with Nick's condition -- has it made him more powerful? Or will that endurance come at a price?. Then there was the continuing plot with Renard & his buddy (can't remember his name). But (surprise) Renard knows that Adalind is pregnant, apparently. Well. Didn't see that coming. Also, going by her blood tears, she must be back to full Hexenbiest status. Finally, her work with Frau Pech is complete. (That stuff was getting hilariously gruesome.)
We also have the joke of wolves versus pigs revealed to be a serious, all out blood feud between Wesen. The Bauerschwein creeped me out. Those woge faces.
More importantly, Monroe and Rosalee are moving in together. I unabashedly love these two characters. It's very rare to see a TV relationship without artificial drama or fights injected into it to make it "real". Surprisingly, it's the show with monsters that manages to nail what actual adult human interaction looks like via Monroe and Rosalee.
As an aside that has little to do with the episode and everything to do with the writing, I have to note that this is probably the only time I can recall seeing a vegan on television that isn't a complete joke character. Which is sort of amazing. The jokes about Monroe tend to be more that he rambles about food rather than what food he eats, which is something I always appreciate.
