Monroe takes a look at the mirror that
Eve saw the creature in. Adalind thinks that the thing may be after
Eve since no one else has seen it. Nick saw it too, and in a dream.
Diana tells them that it wasn't a dream, its not real yet. Its
something that will happen in the hole in the mirror she tells them.
Monroe insists on a buddy system.
Two hunters find a lone doe, and think
she's easy prey. They take a shot at the deer, and the shooter thinks
he got her. Ralph goes for back for beer, trailing behind, but when
the hunter finds his doe, something slithers through the grass. Tree
roots grab him by the ankles, and pierce through the middle before
dragging him away in front of Ralph. Ralph sees the treeman, and
tries to make a run for it, but he plows his truck into another tree.
Nick gets his buddy Adalind before he
goes in for a shave. Adalind and Nick both have their worries about
the mirror. Adalind worries that the thing isn't afraid of Grimms,
and decides that she likes him with stubble. He happily skips the
shave. Wu calls with the latest crime scene.
Nick and Hank arrive to the hunter's
truck. Ralph isn't the sedate witness. Nick and Hank calm him for a
second as he rambles on about a monster killing his friend. He's
relieved to hear that someone believes him, and he's more than happy
to show them where he last saw his friend. Hunting at night may be a
no-no, but that's not the issue. He recalls the spine piercing his
friends chest, and watching him die, how the plant man picked up his
friend, and him running afterwards. Hank isn't sure if he's telling
the truth, or if he killed his friend, but they plan to investigate.
Eve heads to the Spice Shoppe. She
wants to see the mirror. Rosalee is sure that the mirror isn't magic,
it was her mother's. Monroe doesn't trust the mirror. Eve takes it in
hand anyways, she smashed it shes sure, and yet its whole, even
though its covered in a blood red. Turning the mirror over, it drips
blood, and Monroe has had enough. He takes the mirror. Eve knows
there is only one way to figure out whats with this other mirror
world, to go there.
Nick looks into the hunting friends'
records. Hank finds that each hunter fired one bullet. Nick wonders
if Dev was wesen, and warged, scaring him. Wu tells the pair that the
woods have a history of missing people, usually hikers. Nick and Hank
head back into the interrogation room to press Ralph. Ralph sticks to
his crazy story, no matter how much Nick and Hank lean on him. They
found not just blood on Ralph, but lots of Chlorofil.
Captain Renard gets some help with
Diana's drawing. Some of the symbols are ancient, some are unknown.
The woman wonders why the child would draw such things. She suggests
that Renard find out where the drawings come from, since she doesn't
think that they're made up.
Nick and Hank pick at Monroe and
Rosalee's brain about possible wesen. They suspect a forest wesen who
don't take kindly to people messing with their territory. Hank finds
the Kinoshimobe matches the description, a Japanese tree wesen. Its
possible that the thing never wargs, and doesn't have a human form.
Nick gets a call, and goes to check out a new lead.
A woman with G & K Waste Solutions
unloads in the woods. Lots of red goo.
Wu shows that all of the victims were
poachers or worst. Ralph didn't shoot the deer, hence why he was
spared. Nick and Hank make plans to go back in the morning.
Kinoshimobe strikes again, taking out
the Waste Solutions dumper. Roots reach out for the body as the thing
makes an offering to the trees, and then the body is gone.
Nick, Hank and Wu head into the woods.
Even if they find the Kinoshimobe, they don't know what to do with
it. They spread out to look for it. Nick comes face to face with a
dark tree in the middle of the woods. Wu finds the waste truck, and
an oozy mess. It looks like toxic waste that was being dumped, and a
bloody chair left behind. Everyone heads into the new crime scene.
The dumper, Patricia, has had quite a
few run-ins with the law about dumping, but never more than a slap on
the wrist. Nick, Hank and Wu begin to map out where the Kinoshimobe
is likely holed up. Back into the woods they head, and Nick goes
straight back to the dark tree that gave him a weird feeling. Wu is
concerned about the weird vibe, as Nick's weird feelings aren't
normal. It's damp all around the tree, as in bloody damp. Hank finds
a face in the tree, Nick finds one as well. There are several faces,
like a lot in the tree.
Rosalee recognizes the type of tree it
is. It's not wesen at all. Its a Chuboco, and it survives on human
blood. They reason that the Kinoshimobe is working with the Chuboco.
Rosalee thinks that they may need to pretend to cause harm to the
environment to get the Kinoshimobe's attention. Rosalee thinks she
has something safe that will get its attention. While she cooks up
her brew, Nick and the menfolk gear up.
Monroe and the others go to the
Chuboco. He tries to add logic about why there might be faces in it,
other than the whole absorption theory, but after a moment the creep
factor gets to him. The tree really eats people. They four pour their
gunk around the tree, and nothing comes out. The Kinoshimobe is a no
show. Nick wants a more toxic brew, but Monroe is worried. Rosalee
has an idea, and she heads towards them. Monroe questions them taking
out something that is just protecting its home.
Rosalee is close, when something
punctures her car, causing it to leak. She should be there, and when
she doesn't arrive Monroe calls her. She sees that her car is leaking
oil, and she's not the only one that sees the oil. The Kinoshimobe
closes in. Monroe runs towards Rosalee's calls, with Nick, Hank and
Wu close behind. They find Rosalee unharmed and take her back to
their car, which is parked near the Chubuco. As she takes in its
strange beauty, the Chubuco tries to take Rosalee. They manage to cut
her free as the Kinoshimobe arrives. Nick tries to talk to it, but
he's not much of the talking type. The Chubuco grabs at everyone,
except Nick. Nick kills the Kinoshimobe, and the Chubuco takes the
Kinoshimobe inside of it. They call it a day, but the Kinoshimobe may
not be completely dead, as it opens it eye as they leave.
Nick adds his account to the Grimm
book.
Monroe nixes anymore adventures while
Rosalee is pregnant. As they lay in bed, they can't help but notice
“faces” in their ceiling. Maybe a paint job is in order.
