Finally this week we got to see David Giuntoli kiss someone. Granted it was Adelind Schade on the other side of the lip action and Nick Burkhardt was smooching a Hexebeist in the line of duty, but I’m betting I’m not the only lady in the Grimm audience who took a close interest in the screen at that point in the show.

Nick wasn’t the only character getting some action this episode. Captain Renard has already resisted the advances of Adelind, who flung herself at him last week, pretty fangs bared. This time he had a tougher test when Adelind’s mother, also a Hexenbeist but one we imagine must have special attractions given that she has a magic mirror to tell her how beautiful she is, ran her hand up his superbly tailored thigh. But Renard managed to keep his passions in check, much to my disappointment. I’m not sure exactly who the special girl is that will eventually catch Renard’s eye, although the writers could make the story very interesting by making that person Juliette for example, or even Monroe’s love interest Rosalee. When Renard falls, it will be hard and hopefully in full close up.

You’ll remember that last week I complained about having yet another new set of Wesens as the focus of the story. Well the writers must have been listening (because they do listen to every word I say of course) because this time the story finally shifted from ‘Wesen of the Week’ to concentrating on Renard’s plan to force Nick to hand over a precious key. The plan involved Adelind placing an enchantment on Nick’s partner Hank, so he would fall in love with her, although as sex happened to be the end game in this particular spell, you did have to wonder why Adelind bothered with the enchantment in the first place. Despite his scruples about taking advantage of a witness, Hank, as played by Russell Hornsby, wouldn’t have needed much encouragement to jump in the sack with Adelind. Couple of drinks, jazz on the stereo – I’m guessing Hank would have put his morals on hold if Adelind had run her leg up his thigh.

But the spell was a necessary plot device. It allowed Sergeant Wu to develop a raging case of pica, through eating one of Adelind’s enchanted cookies which led to some amusing scenes of Wu chomping down on his shag pile carpet. And Wu’s predicament not only gave Nick the clue he needed to work out what Adelind was up to, but also meant he had to involve Monroe and Rosalee in finding a cure. Team Grimm is now up and running – a situation which saves Nick from visiting his Aunt’s trailer every show and also from getting Monroe up in the middle of the night with questions like exactly what kind of Wesen enjoys eating live frogs. And as the show ended with Hank waking up in Adelind’s (suspiciously unruffled) bed to find Monroe and Rosalee watching over him, it can’t be long before Nick has to explain what’s going on to his partner. But next week, with the finale now just around the corner, I reckon we’ll be back to Wesen of the Week for a few shows more, with a revelation like that being saved for the season end.
