Grimm S04E03 Recap: Last Call
Nick admits that he didn't know where
he was, but he does now. He tells Juliette and Wu about the room he
saw. Juliette assists Nick to walk, and Wu insists on driving him to
the hospital.
Adalind tries to get a look at the
mysterious laugher, but her blocks her peep hole.
Chavez woogs in front of Trubel and
confirms that she's the Grimm. She asks Trubel if Nick knows that
she's the Grimm. Chavez works for someone high, who would be very
interested in her working for them. She tells Chavez that her skills
would be very valuable to someone looking to take out dangerous
Wesen, that she could have a home among people who knew what she was,
and do a lot of good. Chavez apologizes for the tactics she used to
obtain Trubel, but she needed to be sure she who she thought she was.
Chavez releases Trubel, advising she tell no one for her sake, and
theirs.
Nick sees his doctor, but the doctor
sees nothing that would have caused the blindness and symptoms that
he experienced. The doctor suggests that he see an opthamalogist.
It's fight night in Portland, the main
event is getting ready to begin. A man watches the door as three
rough looking men approach. He advises Bobby to not hold back. A
fighter gets ready, his coach knows he'll be great. The coach leaves
the room as the men enter. Clay asks them not to do what they plan,
but they remove their bats, and begin hitting the fighter. He wargs,
and beats the crap out of all of them. It's fight time. Clay heads to
the ring, as the warm up guys are paid off. Bobby has a broken jaw
and he wants more money, he gets it, but the guy paying isn't happy
about it. In the ring Clay knocks his opponent out as his momma
cheers him on in the crowd.
Nick sketches the room that he saw.
Juliette thinks its some sort of prison or dungeon, she asks why he
would sketch something like that and he's not sure. It's something
that they're sure that's connected to Adalind. Nick wishes things
were back to normal, but he's not sure what that is anymore. Juliette
asks about the picture of Trebel Wu brought over. He's putting the
pieces together, and they need to tell him, but Nick's not a Grimm
anymore, and he doesn't want to bring him into the Scooby Gang that's
now slayerless. Trebel arrives back home, but she doesn't tell them
about her weird day, running off to bed.
Clay's manager booked him another
fight, another kid got hurt, and he wants to throw Clay back in.
Coach Abe thinks its too soon, but its only three more fights till
they hit the big leagues. Bobby calls, he wants more money or he's
going to the commission to get their license yanked.
Nick goes through another round of
tests. The symptoms he described would have resulted from some sort
of trauma to his nerves, but the doctor sees none. His nerves are
healthy. The only things she found was an odd level of activity in
his Macula. Most people have three cones, some women have four which
allows them to see colors invisible to everyone else, Nick has a
fourth and possible fifth cone. Nick is a genuine freak. There is
some swelling in the area, possibly preventing light from penetrating
the cones, but nothing that should be causing pain.
Monroe and Rosalee sit down with Hank
about Juliette and her desire for him to remain Grimmless. There are
many bad Wesen, but few good Grimms. They also worry about the long
term effects Adalind's spell will have on Nick. They figure that at
the least they should talk to Renard to see where he got the potion.
They get a visit from Bud he's babbling as normal. He tells them the
talk about the Grimm at the wedding. Hank assures Bud that she's a
friend of Nick, and that he has nothing to worry about. Bud thinks
that maybe its good having two Grimms, but Rosalee breaks it to him
that Nick can't see them anymore. Maybe telling Bud was a bad idea,
especially if they want to keep it a secret.
Bobby waits in his car for his money,
but it doesn't look like he's getting it any time soon. Nick and Hank
are on Bobby's murder case. Wu was worried about Nick, but the
doctor's said everything was good. Bobby's body was pulled from the
river, and the holes in his chest don't look like they came from any
bullets.
Nick and Hank go to see Bobby's sister.
She doesn't know where her brother was, but she tells them that he
was pretty banged up the night before. She isn't sure what he was
doing there, but he wasn't gambling. He couldn't stay away from
boxing, and he was really good at one time, but he took too many
hits.
Renard tells his mother that he had no
choice but to give the baby over to Victor, otherwise she, him,
everyone would have been in danger. Elizabeth knows him better than
that, and that giving her to the Resistance wouldn't have guaranteed
her safety either. His mother asks him if he is going to tell her
where the baby really is, having already figured out that she isn't
with the Resistance either. He tells her that she is with someone who
owes none of the allegiance, and that's all he knows. Monroe and
Rosalee arrive, but don't want to interrupt. Renard insists that they
talk, and introduces them to his mother. Renard prepares to show them
where the potion was made, but Elizabeth insists that he's not well
enough. Nick gambled everything to make sure his daughter got to
safety, and Renard needs him. Elizabeth offers to go with them.
Monroe doesn't want to take her away from her son, but she insists.
To beat a hexenbeist like Adalind, they're going to need her.
Adalind isn't taking confinement well,
and when she goes all bestial, it back fires. Victor had warned her
that the dungeon was created for her kind.
Nick and Hank arrive to question the
manager, Abe and Clay about Bobby Moore. The Manager tells them that
Bobby was great, but he was in the game too long. He let Bobby watch
the door, and threw some money at him here and there to help him when
he could, but nothing more. Bobby worked his shift and left after the
fight, and that was the last he saw of him. Nick and Hank leave
calling cards. Clay wonders if he hit Bobby too hard, but his manager
insist that he didn't do anything Bobby didn't get paid well for.
Neither Nick nor Hank really believe the fight promoter. They spot
Clay punching a dumpster and both agree that its not normal, even
though neither can see him warg.
Hank finds the manager Stan has a long
laundry list of former charges. Nick doesn't find much about the kid,
only that he's been fighting for less than a year. Hank thinks its an
unfair advantage being a Wesen in boxing. He wants to bring Trebel in
on the case. Nick is hesitant, she almost died the last time, and no
one mentions that it was her own stupidity that almost got her
killed. Nick doesn't think its fair to drag her in, but really she
doesn't have anything better to do, and Hank thinks it'll help her
too,
Monroe, Rosalee and Elizabeth arrive at
Adalind's storage unit. Elizabeth can immediately smell the spell,
but Monroe isn't picking up anything. Elizabeth can pick up traces of
Adalind's entire life and her mother's too. Rosalee finds the
cauldron, but Elizabeth stops her from touching the hardened
contents. Elizabeth cracks the potion, and tastes some of it, turning
into Juliette from a moment. She tells them to look for a book that
won't open. It's not a riddle, but an actual thing.
Nick and Hank pick up Trebel and tell
her about the case. They want her to go to the gym, hang up, and work
out. Trebel likes boxing gyms she use to sleep in one. Nick gives her
a new phone, and makes it clear that she is to merely observe. The
boys head to Clay's home to speak to his mother.
Clay's mother gushes over her son and
his accomplishments. Clay was in all night. Stan has been his manager
the entire time, he saw the potential in her son. Abe has been with
them the whole time too. Clay's father has not been in the picture,
but she knows as Clay gets closer to the big time, the likelyhood of
him coming out of the woodwork rises. Wu has located Bobby's car. Can
someone give Wu an award for hardest working member on the police
force, and reward him with the secret he's desperate to know? Bobby's
phone was in the seat, and he called Stan the previous day.
Trebel is working out at the gym. She
asks Clay for a little help with her gloves. He asks her name, and
she tells him Trebel. He wasn't asking her nickname, and she asks
his. He doesn't have one, nor does he have a favorite fighter. In
truth, Clay doesn't even like boxing, he's in it for the money. Stan
spots Trebel chatting up Clay, and he's not happy about it. He sends
Clay off to get ready for his fight, and tells Trebel to get lost,
but she's not leaving. She paid her money, and she wants to fight.
Stan calls over a behemoth of a girl fighter, and gives Trebel the
choice to either fight or leave. Abe gloves up Trebel, and Clay
notices her getting into the ring as Nick and Hank arrive. Nick
specifically told her not to get into any fights, but Trebel never
listens. The fight begins, and her opponent is a Wesen. Trebel goes
toee to toe with the girl, but she's an amazon and Trebel goes down.
Nick wants to stop the fight, but Hank urges him to give her a
chance. All eyes are on the ring, and Trebel comes up swinging. She
knocks the girl out. She fights dirty, and Stan likes dirty. He plans
to have Abe begin training her. Stan jokes with Nick and Hank that if
they keep showing up at the gym then they'll have to start paying
membership fees. They asks about the call Bobby made, and his alibi
for the night. Bobby called about more work, and Stan tells them that
he had dinner with Clay after the fight.
Clay worries that Nick and Hank suspect
him, and that he did kill Bobby. He hit Bobby too many times. Abe is
sure that it wasn't is fault. Bobby doesn't want to fight anymore. He
begs Abe to tell Stan no more fights. Stan interrupts, scarring Clay.
He tells him that as long as they're a team, he'll continue covering
for him, otherwise, he'll tell the cops the truth. Stan sends Clay to
prepare for the fight, while giving Abe orders to get more guys,
better ones, but Abe doesn't want to. Its too much pressure on Clay,
but all Stan sees is Clay's rising star, refusing to allow it a
slower ascent. Both men warg at eachother and Trebel sees the whole
thing as she passes by. She tells Nick, and they head to the trailer
to see what they're up against.
The voice asks Adalind if she would be
happy if he showed her the way out. He claims to know a way. He tells
her six stones in, three stones high. Adalind finds the place he
speaks of, and pushes the passage open. She crawls into the wall and
finds herself in his cell. The wall closes on its own. He lights a
candle, and Hoffman introduces himself. He knows that she wants to
find her baby. He warns that its a treacherous journey, and that
she'll need her strength. He gives her a bite to eat, and then
they're off in another of his passages.
Rosalee finds a book that cannot be
opened, and Monroe gives it a try, marveling over it. Elizabeth is
ready to get down to business though. She stabs her palm, bleeding on
the book to open it. Elizabeth has found the spell, but she needs a
place uncontaminated by a hexenbeist to reverse it. Rosalee offers
her the use of the spice shop.
Abe gets a visitor, likely his last.
Nick, Trebel and Hank look for the
beasts from the gym. Trebel points out Stan's beast in Nick's book,
it seems to match Bobby's. Hank finds Abe's Wesen. They have a great
fighting skill when provoked, but they don't like to fight. Trebel
thinks that Clay may be the same with his dislike of the sport. Nick
gets a call from Wu that Abe's body has been found. They head to the
scene.
The cops on the scene conclude that
Abe's death was a suicide, but Nick points out that the body has more
holes than rebar in it. Hank finds a short suicide note in Abe's
pocket, taking the blame for Bobby's death. Nick and Hank plan to pay
Stan a visit.
Stan's new bully crew get ready to do
their job, but Nick and Hank arrive and they run off. Stan accuses
them of harassment, but Nick charges him with the death of Bobby and
Abe. He tells Stan that he knows that he's Wesen, which he claims to
not know what that is, and even what type. Stan wargs but doesn't see
any Grimm signs in them, and thinks he's in the clear. Trebel appears
behind him, showing that she's a Grimm. He charges her, and Trebel
kicks him in the face, but it doesn't keep him down. Nick and Hank go
on the offense, but Stan is a lot stronger than he looks.
Clay isn't at ringside, and his fight
is about to be called for his no show, his mother goes to check on
him.
Stan is inches from goring Nick and
Trebel jumps in. She accidentally on purpose snaps his neck. Nick
tells her that their official story is that Stan attacked him, and he
did it, she wasn't there. He sends her to tell Clay he doesn't have
to fight, as Hank calls in the incident.
Clay's mother goes to see her son. He
tells her that Stan and Abe are both not there. Clay doesn't want to
go and fight, but there' s full house, so many people out there
waiting for him. Clay thinks that fighting is killing him. His mother
did what she had to, she found him the best people to do what she
told them to do. She begins beating at her son, trying to throw him
into a rage. Trebel runs in to stop her, telling them that Stan and
Abe are dead. Clay's mother sees that Trebel is a Grimm, and she
tells her son to kill her before Trebel kills them. Before she can
charge Trebel, Nick and Hank arrive, and force her to drop her
weapon. Clay doesn't drop his, instead he puts a permanent end to his
career, breaking his own arm.
Elizabeth translates the spell. She
wonders if Adalind understood the risk she made when she cast the
spell. She tied herself and Nick together in unknown ways. Monroe and
Rosalee begin gathering the ingredients for them to recreate the
spell. Outside two men watch the spice shop with some pretty bitchin
masks.
