Grimm – Episode 4.05 – Cry Luison – Review

Who could have ever imagined that the most awkward way to get his Grimm powers back would have been to turn Juliette into Adalind and sleep with Nick like the Hexenbeist did? I guess the very first minutes of this fifth episode of Grimm were a little funny to me. Mostly because Trubel’s face when she’s listening to Elizabeth’s plan. While Rosalee and Monroe try to make Nick and Juliette comfortable about this, Trubel only points out her sarcastic comment - by speaking the truth: the spell needs to be done.

Meanwhile, poor Trubel girl. She must be stressed about being the only Grimm in town, and it must be hard for her to handle all the supernatural crimes in Portland. When Bud introduces himself to Trubel, he tells her Nick is in trouble because a guy named Shaw, who has had some past issues with Nick, wants payback, now that he knows he’s not a Grimm anymore.

Also, poor Wu. When Nick and Hank are being called on the crime scene, he talks about a ‘wolf’ who scared a woman, Ava. At this point he says he’s ready to believe to everything. What his friends don't know, Wu is closer to know the truth, and I'd say finally.

Nick and Hank investigate on Ava Diaz, a rich heir woman being driven to madness by her Luison, a kind of Sud-American Wesen. Everybody says she’s mental instable, but Nick, Hank and Renard think it’s her husband, Gabriel, to be the real Luison. Renard wants Theresa on the case too, but Nick declines since he doesn’t want her to her more involved.

But our former Grimm has some other troubles to handle: Josh calls him telling some guys are looking for him; he wants to get rid of the rest of his Grimm’s father, then he mentions a key. It turns out, the Luison case is more stranger than it seems, when Gabriel and his twin brothers are involved. Three identical twins! In the end, Ava finds out her husband did all this for the money. Her sentences about "monsters" matches with Nick's reply "Some hide very well."

Meanwhile, Adalind is still trying to find her daughter, stuck in Viktor’s castle. It’s just me or Adalind’s journey there reminds me of Alice in Wonderland? And the strange guy who’s helping her may be compared to the Cheshire Cat? I really hope the writers won’t keep this too long till the winter finale, because it’s getting bored. Adalind is a great character and I’m still hoping they would give her more space. Also, just give her Diana! At the very end, I was surprised when Adalind finds herself in her cell again, and then Viktor shows up claiming he wants the same thing: get Diana back.

"I like being a Grimm." Well, finally Nick admitted it. Otherwise, let’s say, the show won’t be called Grimm. I think at some point, Nick misses his life fighting supernatural crime. Also, having another Grimm in town is better than let Trubel handle all those stuff. Juliette gets the confirmation when a Wolfsangel appears outside Burkhart's house.
"I'm ready."
"For what?"
"You need to be a Grimm again."
Beyond helping Nick to get his powers back, I wonder what's the purpose of having Juliette in the show? I keep asking season 4 started. Also, I really want Adalind to be the old strong Hexenbeist we saw in the first seasons. Give her more space, playing badass scene, I miss this. What do you think?

What do you miss most in Grimm? What do you think about Juliette's decision to hel Nick? Share your comments below.
