Episode Reviewed: Grimm: Love Sick

And the plot thickens. This episode gave us answers and questions. Answers: Hexenbeasts are in fact witches of sorts, Wu's coin/couch/paperclip/insert weird object here-eating was a result of taking the love potion meant for Hank and they managed to cure him, Renard's first name is Jean and his family is really pulling the strings, and there's something very interesting that happens to Vessin when they get a dose of Grimm-blood. So, Adalin's love spell begins to take full affect on Hank, making him obsessed, which Nick realizes after he and Juliette have dinner with the witch and her boy. He, Monroe, and the newest piece on the board Rosalie have to take action or Hank is literally going to die for love. Naturally, Adalin and the Captain have been planning for this and we finally find out what it is they hoped to get from nick through Hank: the key Marie gave Nick in the pilot episode. And it does quite a bit more then open doors, something the writers are clearly going to be using further down the road, most likely in the season finale. At the same time, Renard's cousin visits and apparently the royal family back in Europe is growing impatient with his progress, or lack thereof, and things do not end well. Good episode for sure, and I feel like we're seeing more and more of where the show is going and what it's capable of each week, which I'm obviously pleased by. I also think Rosalie was a good addition to the show, and I'm happy with the more frequent use of twist/ambiguous endings. And it was nice to see Wu not be useless. Final Rating: 90%
