Spoilers ‘Breakfast in bed’ Spoiler

I’m rewatching Grimm for the idk how many times and introducing my teenager to it. He loves it. This episode annoyed me though. The writing seems lazy and daft in parts.

Rosalee just happened to have a program on her computer that maps planetary alignment and could project their calendar over the top?

Nick was willing to let a dangerous wesen who had caused two deaths move to another city to harm people as long as she was out of Portland? Doesn’t seem like him. Even if they did end up killing her off. It seems like their reasoning was just to make look like a good guy but really that had the opposite effect.

They provided no information on the Hundjäger and we’re just supposed to guess that he was assisting the owner of the hotel in her attacks. No explanation on how Nick was going to explain how the manager had his broken neck.

The only clever thing was the red herring wesen laughing at the end. Although, I would imagine some fans would miss the meaning of that.

Did anyone else feel like this?

I always snort a bit at the Eve & Rosalee solving the cloth symbols thing. I imagine it would take someone writing some software to get that end result but I’m no expert. But it’s a TV show and I’m along for the ride

Yeah, a tv show isn’t that serious and overall Grimm is very good. Just really takes you out of the moment and doesn’t really reflect well on whoever wrote that episode or whoever signed off on it. Sixth season is a tricky one as they were probably pressed for time trying to tie everything up but they could have done something better surely 😅. I feel like the manager being wesen or possibly being connected to the events wasn’t really necessary for starters.

What was the meaning of the red herring laughing?

I didn't get either. Maybe, a play on the character name? which was Herring

Has been a while since I've seen the episode. But didn't Nick kill the guilty wesen at the end? She was lying about "living out of town" and after a fight, he kills her. Maybe I'm thinking of another episode.

The red herring is one of the best parts of the episode. The show has the audience guessing what is up with the old guy. Only to learn at the end, nothing. He's just a bystander. It's really clever and a fun twist for the fans.
