Grimm Recap: Wesen Nacht

Season: 5 / Episode 6 / NBC Whenever you see a bunch of people dressed all in black, smoking cigarettes, and talking ’bout the action starting at midnight you are either 1) witness to some criminal activity or 2) in line at a poetry slam. Since this is Portland, home of the Wesen Uprising, I think you know which one opened the show this week: in an (abandoned?) warehouse. With yelling. And Woging. And very specific directions about what and where to attack.

Cut to Trubel at Nick and Adalind’s place having nightmares – and other awkward interactions that happen when you pass out for 25 hours at your Grimm mentor’s house, which is really just a one-bedroom hideout that he’s sharing with his totally-nuh-uh-not-girlfriend and their newborn son. But it must be midnight because elsewhere in Portland, mayhem is happening. The group of angry poet Wesens dressed in black are breaking glass and literally wrecking shops. They chase one shop owner into the street where the leader woges and rips his throat out. A few shops down, they kidnap the owner. #luckyiguess When Nick and Trubel finally get to talk, she tells him that “they” know he’s a Grimm – Chavez found out. And they, AKA H.W., have been watching Nick. They got Trubel when she left to take Josh (the scared non-Grimm son of a Grimm) home. And it seems like she’s been converted to their side. She’s been fighting the revolution all over the world. With other Grimms. Nick asks about Meisner and things got a little quiet and awkward…
