'Teen Wolf' 4x1 'The Dark Moon' Gif-Tweet-Cap: Werecreatures Everywhere!

The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post. "The Dark Moon" kicks off the Season 4 premiere of Teen Wolf, yay!
The episode starts with Lydia and Stiles together... in Mexico? They both seem to feel that they are in over their heads, but continue on anyway. They show some sort of card to gain access into a creepy guarded building, where they find... a dance club!
They are actually there to meet with the Calaveras boss-lady, Araya Calavera. In the Season 3 finale, she had sent her men to shoot Derek and force him to tell them where Kate is. Of course, Derek didn't even know Kate was alive until she showed up to abduct him a few minutes later.
In a flashback during the premiere, we learn that Scott found the Calaveras-imprinted bullets used to shoot Derek, so the gang took off for Mexico to go find him.

Lydia and Stiles find Araya at the back of the club, and offer her money to tell them where Derek is located. Meanwhile, Malia, Kira and Scott are all hiding out in the club by blending in.
Kira is a little... er... uncoordinated. That is, until Malia pulls her in for a little lesbian-infused dancing. As far as we know, both girls are straight, which means that showing their boobs bouncing together to the music is purely for the purpose of turning on guys and lesbians, since most of the viewership seems to skew straight female.
Araya refuses to accept the money-for-details offer, and orders her people to attack. Kira whips out some girly glow stick pink nunchucks so she can whip some ass. Malia and Scott prefer their fists.
Araya still manages to win the fight by gassing Scott and Kira with a little Wolfsbane. Then she forces Kira to torture Scott with electrocution until he realizes that Kate Argent is the culprit who took Derek. Who knew that pain makes Scott psychic? Turns out Araya already knew, and was just testing Scott to see what kind of werewolf he is... as in, one who has never killed an innocent or turned anyone.
Araya sends the team off with a guide -- Braeden -- to help them find Derek, who appears to be trapped underground in a coffin, molting. While in the jeep, Scott explains how the Calaveras stole Kate's body, then left her with a knife so she could commit suicide rather than turn into a werewolf. Instead, she killed six of Araya's men and escaped. Just as Scott finishes the story, Stiles' jeep breaks down! Scott goes with Braeden on her motorcycle, while Stiles promises to fix his jeep and be along soon.
After Scott leaves, Malia finds a bone knife stuck somewhere under the hood, revealing that the jeep has been sabotaged -- oh, and someone is watching them. Malia bolts to go find out who's watching, and ends up getting badly scratched in the side. Fortunately, Stiles gets the jeep fixed before anymore mayhem can occur, and they take off. Along the way, we learn that Malia has a crush on Stiles (she also kissed him earlier to beef up her powers so she could listen in on Scott's torture), and Lydia seems more than a little jealous.
Scott and Braeden decide to take a stroll under a church where were-jaguars used to (and perhaps still) live. It's filled with cobwebs to make it look creepy, but they're actually proof of disuse. It's a big surprise, then, when they find that a nasty looking creature that looks like a literal butt-faced Predator is sneaking behind them. According to Malia, it smells like death (assuming she came in contact with the same, or a similar, creature). Maybe it just smells like shit.
The thing begins to make a run at them, so Scott does his biggest wolfy-roar, scaring "everything," as Braeden says, and part of the cave collapses on the creature.
Then, they find the seal of the jaguar god on the wall, which somehow means they've found Derek, so Scott punches through it. Derek is hiding out inside, but he's not what you'd expect: he's just a kid. Yep, Kate managed to turn him into a youngster, which is great for all the young teens watching, but not so great for us older folk (20 and up) who prefer the Hoechlin-look. Ah well, let's just hope he grows up quickly!

'Grimm' 3x21 'The Inheritance' Gif-Tweet-Cap: Grimms and Keys and Verrat, Oh My!

The following gifs are available on this Tumblr post. "The Inheritance" continues from the very end of last week's Grimm, where we got a glimpse of some old dying guy holding one of the three precious keys required to open some important and hidden treasure that the royals could use to destroy the world if they ever got their hands on it.

The episode begins with a lovely family dinner, and Monroe-Rosalee wedding talk. Then Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) joins in. And she realllllly likes spaghetti. Nick (David Giuntoli) seems a bit embarrassed.
She also explains how she found out she was a Grimm: someone tried to rape her, he turned into a Wesen, called her a Grimm (which was the first time she had heard the term), and she stabbed him with a screwdriver (without killing him). It's the usual cheery dinner-talk for this show.
The old man, herein known as Grandpa Grimm (Sam Anderson), has a son named Josh (Lucas Near-Verbrugghe). Now, many fans find Josh to be highly annoying, but I personally find him to be one of the most hilarious characters I've ever seen on the show. In fact, my entire family was nearly rolling on the floor with laughter each time he said anything, or merely gave one of his freaked-out facial expressions. I love that guy. I hope he sticks around a little longer, and that when they off him, it's in an appropriate Grimm-ly humorous fashion.

Having said that, Grandpa Grimm wants to pass on all of his possessions to Nick, although they have never met. Josh spies on the dinner, then calls Nick to make sure "he's the guy," but has a really hard time believing in any of this Grimm stuff. His disbelief also makes him careless, and one of former FBI Agent Weston's (C. Thomas Howell) goons follow him, forcing Grandpa Grimm to kill him with a big sword when he attacks them. Here is a classic example of Josh being utterly and hilariously freaked out:
Josh wants to call the cops, believing his dad has just murdered some regular guy who was attacking them for no reason (which is completely irrationally hilarious).
Meanwhile, Adalind continues seducing Renard (Sasha Roiz) in her attempt to take Nick's powers. He even insultingly compliments her by saying he'd be in love with her if he didn't know her so well. He can't be falling for the seduction though, can he? Who cares, he's nekkid:
Weston sees that his goon is dead, and is exceedingly furious about his continued failure as a terrifying villain. Grandpa Grimm and Josh have already taken off, and pull off the road to stay in an old warehouse where they won't be found. Grandpa Grimm refuses to get medical attention until he speaks with Nick, while Josh whines.
He tells his son to show Nick one of his Grimm-diary Wesen drawings to prove that he should come talk to him. Josh is just exasperated with all these things he doesn't understand, but finally agrees to get it over with so that he can finally get some medical attention for his papa.
Over in the perfect world of Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), Rosalee is freaking out, worried that something horrible will happen at their wedding. Unfortunately, that's probably true. Let's just hope that they get to live happily ever after (minus Grimm-interruptions, uninvited houseguests and saving lives) once their wedding problems are over.
Renard siccs some Wu-surveillance on Adalind until she takes a cab. Then he just has Wu (Reggie Lee) call the cab company to find it's destination, and takes over from there.
While Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) speak with Renard about their favorite former-FBI buddy (sarcasm) following around an old man and his son and big trunk of treasure at the hotel (guess who they’re talking about), Josh shows up at Nick's doorstep. Trubel answers, and immediately calls Nick after seeing the drawing. When he doesn't answer, she decides to go with Josh in Nick's place, worried about the fact that Josh seems completely clueless to the danger he's in.
While everyone is out, Adalind breaks into Nick's house, stealing Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) scarf and some of her hair. Renard interrupts the break-in as Adalind is about to leave, and she knocks him out with a magical vase-toss:
Needless to say, Renard is pretty pissed when he wakes up:
Trubel introduces herself to Grandpa Grimm as Nick's friend and resident Grimm #2. He wants her to protect his trunk so that his non-believing son won't destroy it. Then, he finally agrees to go to the hospital, where his son almost immediately gives up their location to fake law enforcement over the phone.
Nick finally answers his phone and shows up, and Hank decides to watch the Volvo containing the trunk while Nick goes inside to speak with Grandpa Grimm. Josh basically tells Nick (in his oblivious fashion) that he told the Verrat where they are. They have to act fast, so Grandpa Grimm tells Nick about the key, then asks his son to grab his cane. Then he passes out before telling them where the key is, and Nick fills in Trubel on the short version of the key-story.
Hank calls Nick out when the Verrat shows up, warning that Trubel should stay inside. Luckily, she doesn't follow orders, because she out-fights both of them. When the fight is over, Trubel takes the Volvo home to keep the trunk safe.
Grandpa Grimm is dead, leaving his son with just one question for Nick: "What kind of cop are you?" At least he finally believes his dad, and more so once he meets even more believers: Rosalee and Monroe. They search all through the trunk for the key, unable to find it. Finally, they remember that Grandpa Grimm had asked for his cane (duh), and it takes Hank to crack the puzzle, leaving Juliette in a state of shock and awe:
Inking up the two keys and stamping them on paper makes a pretty map. They only need one more to be able to find the object that will destroy the universe. Sounds like fun!

Renard asks Wu for additional help in searching for Adalind, but it's too late. She grabs a witch-hat-bong, and smokes the green stuff she concocted out of Juliette's hair, skin cells, and probably a couple of toads and lizards or other appropriately disgusting and old decrepit creatures and bodily fluids. Then, she turns into Evil Juliette. Yay, a reason for Juliette to exist!

'Elementary' 2x23 'Art in the Blood' Gif-Tweet-Cap: Twists Upon Twists and Turns

"Art in the Blood" continues from last week's Elementary, with the revelation that Mycroft (Rhys Ifans) is working for the British government in some capacity. Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) is still in fear of losing Watson (Lucy Liu) to the bad guys.
Sherlock quickly learns that Watson is OK, and that Mycroft is MI6. Sherlock accuses him of lying, but Mycroft quickly shows that he has another side. Watson has had enough and leaves the room.
He suddenly sounds very self-important, waving around a jar of something sitting in the kitchen as he tells Sherlock that his handler (Ralph Brown) wanted Sherlock out of New York so he would not interfere with their investigation, and that it was Sherlock's fault Joan got captured by having her help him... until Sherlock tells him that it's deadly toxic mold he's waving around there. Of course, if Mycroft had told the truth, it would not have happened that way.
All the bad guys from last week's episode are picked up, but now Mycroft's MI6 handler has a job for Sherlock: determining whether there is more to the death of their ex-analyst, Arthur West. They try to convince him by reminding him that they saved Mycroft and Joan, while Mycroft tries to discourage Sherlock from taking the job, for Joan's sake. Sherlock reminds Mycroft that he's not going to be sleeping with Watson while lying to her face, and that she will want to help with the case.
Watson does indeed want to help. Their first stop is the morgue, where they find that someone has stolen the victim's arms. Photos of the arms indicate a dry skin condition, which Sherlock deduces is caused by invisible ink tattoos.
Mycroft tries to talk to Watson, but she says that her answer to anything he asks of her is "no": No apologies, no nothing, when she can't believe a word he says. She says that Sherlock and she both deserve better.
Sherlock reports his findings so far, and indicates that he's "pregnant" with the case now, and wants to continue.

Sherlock tells Watson that he understands what deception is like, after the whole Moriarty debacle. She can talk to him about it, but she only wants to talk about the case. Then Arthur's wife (Emily Bergl), whom Sherlock spoke with earlier, shows up at their doorstep to show them the photos of Arthur in blacklight, revealing his tattoos.
It turns out that Arthur knew Sherlock because he had been asked to spy on him. He liked Sherlock, and wanted his wife to go to Sherlock if anything ever happened to him. He also believed there was an MI6 mole working in New York. The only problem is that the series of numbers from the tattoo have no meaning to Sherlock, other than forming some sort of data set. He just doesn't know to what the data refers.
Later, Watson finally tells Sherlock what she has been trying to tell him for weeks: she's moving out. He refers to the idea as "codswallop," using flailing gestures to indicate his denial, and that she's just upset about the abduction, and everything will be just dandy.
Sherlock asks Mycroft's handler why he never mentioned that Arthur had spied on him, but the handler just shrugs it off, saying that it's because Sherlock is special. Sherlock then reveals the information about the possible mole, and the rest of the info. Then the handler asks whether Sherlock is still prego with the case, and tries to convince him to continue with it... but he says no.
Joan then learns from the wife that Mycroft had left MI6 for awhile, but had to come back for some unknown reason.
Meanwhile, Gregson (Aidan Quinn) shows Sherlock a fingerprint from the gun used to kill Arthur. He suddenly behaves a bit strangely, and leaves the precinct quickly, leaving Gregson wondering what's gotten into him.

Watson goes to Mycroft's place to ask him about why he went back to MI6. It was all for Sherlock. When Sherlock was at the height of drug abuse, he screwed up one of his cases so bad that he almost allowed a terrorist plot to go on right under his nose. Mycroft went back to MI6 to save him and stop the plot. All this truth-telling clearly makes Mycroft irresistible, at least in Joan's eyes.
Then we see why Sherlock seemed so troubled to see the fingerprint. He takes his brother's print from the jar of toxic mold jar and sees that it's a match to the gun that killed Arthur!
Learning that Mycroft is the killer makes the next scene all that more disgusting: Watson is sleeping with the enemy! But things get confusing again when Sherlock barges in on them as they are just beginning to put themselves back together after doing the dirty all night. He believes that Mycroft is being framed for murder and treason, and they have to go into hiding right away!
