Episode Reviewed: Grimm 3 Coins in a Fuschbau

Warning: Spoilers, and yes, i am aware i probably spelled Fuschbau wrong. This was one of the major testaments to why i love this show. So, we have three Vessin robbing a jewelry store in Portland. What do they want? Three rare coins that ignite whoever possesses them with charisma, rage, and power. They go back to ancient times, empowering, corrupting, and destroying leaders up until Adolf Hitler. The Grimm family has been protecting the coins since the fall of the Third Reich. Until 1994, when the last Grimm protecting them was murdered and the coins went back into circulation. And the Grimm who was protecting them was Nick's mom. A Vessin with an unspellable (yes it's a word) classification is looking for the coins, a Vessin who claims to have been engaged to Nick's aunt Marie, but she left him to raise Nick. He also claims that one of the robbers was involved in the murder of Nick's parents, going against what we were told about them dying in a car crash. Who has the coins now? The captain, a character who both intrigues and creeps out fans. I won't speak of the ending, because it was awesome and i'd rather not ruin it. Great episode, giving us some great answers and tantalizing hints. The show still has nine episodes left this season, so David Greenwalt still has plenty of time for the season's story arc, but i'm glad they're starting to get around to it, because some the implications in this episode nearly made my head explode. Great writing, good performances all around, and the ending actually gave me some chills. I didn't think it could be done, but this may have been better then Organ Grinder. Final Rating: 93%
