Renard attempts to threaten Hank and Wu, but Hank is ready for it. Nick is also rather lucky that Hank and Wu are working in the precinct, because they can tell him when things go awry. And, eventually, the Portland PD learns that Nick is hiding out at Bud’s shop. I personally enjoy any excuse to see Bud in an episode, even though I know, given his nervous nature, he isn’t the best person to hide a fugitive. We’ll figure it out later, Adalind–I know it’s a symbol of an “engagement” you don’t want, but it’s not like Nick is particularly upset about it.Īfter learning about Renard’s plans, Nick, not officially on the run, goes to one location he believes he’s sure to stay safe–Wurstner’s Refrigerator Repair. Nadalind shippers everywhere are rejoicing.Īdalind mentions the cursed ring and how its magic can survive even though Bonaparte is dead–and I sat on the couch wondering why, of all the things happening in Portland right now, she’s concerned about that ring. Nick holds baby Kelly, if only for a moment. Adalind is truly frightened and wants to keep her family safe and together. There is a genuine, tender Nadalind moment as they practically leap into each other’s arms and kiss. So where does this leave Nick? After a call from a stressed Adalind calls him and says she needs him, he runs to her–literally, stopping by the house she and Renard share. “I don’t want to have anything to do with taking out one of our own,” he says, suggesting his support for Nick. But he warns Hank and Wu about Renard’s plans, and encourages them to keep Nick safe. Officer Franco, who’s been in many episodes over the years, has always played a small role. Unbeknownst to Renard, his decision to scope out Nick’s whereabouts is met with some resistance by his department. But whose blood, even though it is not actual blood, is on his hands? Is it that of Nick’s or Bonaparte’s? Does he regret his attempts to frame Nick for Bonaparte’s death or does he regret putting a damper in Black Claw’s plans in Portland? Until he perceives blood on his hands–a straightforward motif that may suggest a bit of morality exists within him.
He has always acted in his own best interests, but now he is pure evil, driven almost blindly by the will of Black Claw.
We fell in love with Renard for his complexity to blur the distinctions between good and evil. He orders the Portland PD to search for Nick. So, when Renard leaves, what does he do? Immediately frame Nick for Bonaparte’s death, of course, and for the deaths in the precinct (which were actually Wu’s doing). He suspects Diana’s involvement almost immediately…but how can you discipline a child who has complete control over you? Renard returns home, still dazed by the night’s events, but with a keen awareness of what happened to him.
There’s an extremely tense scene between Adalind and Renard. Monroe finds out, but Nick quickly joins them, but not before Trubel almost beheads him accidentally. Meanwhile, the rest of the Scooby gang, unaware that Nick is alive, looks for a way out of the tunnels. Instead of a standoff between the two men, Renard leaves in a daze. Nick and Renard, now enemies, stare at each other for a moment, Renard wondering how Nick is alive and Nick wondering why Renard killed Bonaparte. “Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”Īs is customary in the world of Grimm, we picked up right where we left off–Nick is miraculously alive, thanks to the magic stick in his pocket, and Renard, under his daughter’s spell, kills Bonaparte. So let’s hop right into “Fugitive,” shall we? Last May’s finale left us off with some interesting developments: Renard was named mayor, Nick came back form the dead (thanks, magic stick!), Black Claw leader Bonaparte was killed by Renard (who was being controlled by Diana), and Eve was saved with the magic stick (and she may be Juliette again).
