So I really enjoyed the latest episode of “Grimm,” mainly because we started to advance the stories.

It was Dave and Juliette’s 3rd anniversary (of being together). She was planning a romantic dinner, which he assured her he would not be late for . . . that of course meant he would be. Oh and he was, but because she happened to find a little black box with a ring in it hidden in his drawer, it didn’t seem like she was too heartbroken. She was sad, but I think she forgave him knowing what he was planning? We can only assume she was expecting him to propose that night . . . good thing he was late! He’s had that since the beginning of the show, and his Aunt Marie warned him not to marry her as he’d only bring her danger and grief. I don’t think he was going to pop the question, then she would have been pissed!

The main monster story dealt with a group of monsters (Lowen) who liked to round up people and make them fight in gladiator games. They fed the losers to the winers, which seamed to make them insane and strong. What we learned was that the Captain was in cahoots with the Lowen and letting it happen . . to an extent. He provided them with criminals who seemed to escape or evade the law, but the Lowen wanted bigger fun and were gathering up monsters. The Captain later went to see a priest in a church, talking all this strange talk about “people falling out of the order” and how they needed his help to unleash “God’s wrath” on one of these fallen, who would not be abe to find his way back. In the end the Captain set a monster upon the Lowen leader. All we could hear is what sounded like a panther or cat-like creature, and we assume this was the priest?

I am assuming this “order” is what the strange guy at the beginning of the series was a part of, the one who came after Marie? That was also the first hint the Captain was possibly bad, as he had a connection to them. I am guessing the Captain then is also a monster, and I don’t think we’ve ever seen him shift? Dave obviously hasn’t either. However the previews for next week seem to indicate he won’t be able to keep his secret for long. It looks like the Captain’s dark side finally comes out.

Spoilers for the next two shows below!
