'Grimm' 4x21 Gif-Tweet-Cap: Juliette is a 'Headache'

As one tweet states, the Grimm episode "Headache" continues the theme of Juliette being a bi*ch. That, and Renard not knowing "Jack." The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post.

Continuing from last week, Hank saves Monroe from freezing in the face of death by Juliette-controlled bullet in the "nick" of time!
Nick calls Renard to warn him that Juliette is out for blood, but Jack the Ripper (another continuation from last week) answers instead. Nick and Hank go off to save Renard, but learn that Henrietta was the last person he saw. When they find her body, they put a lookout on his home.
As they learn more, they become suspicious. Wu is sent to watch Renard while Nick and Hank go to Bud's to talk to Adalind. As usual, their interchange hilarious, before they even get inside. Bud has been on constant watch, sitting in a chair with a bat all night. He freaks out when Nick calls, and flips enough to woge when he hears a knock at the door. Of course, it's just Nick and Hank.
Adalind informs them that Renard must be possessed by Jack because his mother must have brought him back from death... along with an evil spirit that tagged along. The only solution is to kill him.
Rosalee comes up with another solution: almost kill him using death-faking drugs, but make him (and Jack) believe that he's dead so Jack will leave.
Meanwhile, Juliette helps Kenneth and his people to finish setting the trap for Nick's mom by giving them the info they need to kill a few of her innocent neighbors and set up a watch on Nick's house.
Soon, we see that someone is hanging out at Nick's house, so Kenneth sends a goon to check her out. We don't need to see her face to know it's Trubel. The answer is in the efficient kill.
Renard agrees to come to the spice shop to drink a drug that he believes will return his memory. Monroe protects his wife by taking over the death-juice-handing activity.
Renard begins falling asleep, but Jack catches on, realizing that the drug is not what they said it was. He begins choking Rosalee, receiving a nasty bite and a slew of rubber bullets in return. Unfortunately, Renard is the one who will suffer the pain from all that.
Believing the bullets were real, combined with the sensation of dying from the fake-death juice, Jack leaves Renard's body in a tiny puff of smoke. Rosalee quickly brings him back with a nice shot of adrenaline.
This bonus gif is a bit indulgent, but it surely belongs, seeing how Renard's chest was a major character in this episode. Oh, and the reason he flashes everyone is because he's afraid that the bleeding has returned. Instead, it's the pain of the gunshot injury finally healing. And with that, Normal Renard is back! Hopefully, we can still have more reasons for #ShirtlessRage in the future.
Soon after Renard returns, Trubel comes knocking to warn Nick of all that is going on at his home.

One annoying thing about the episode is that Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio must not have been available to play the part of Nick's mom Kelly any longer, because they never actually show her face. The person playing her backside is clearly not Mastrantonio, and all we get after that is the sounds of her being killed.

Juliette seems only slightly saddened by the sounds of Kelly dying, but does seem a bit more upset when Kenneth gloats about having ownership of Diana. Still, there's no coming back from this, even if she has a remnant of a heart in there somewhere.
Next, Nick returns home only to see his mother's head in a box. Nick's reaction is painful, but at least his character is becoming more interesting by the minute. Plus, we have Trubel back. We can only hope that her blood will fix Juliette (since Nick's won't work), and that she doesn't have to die to donate her blood to the cause.

'Grimm' 4x20 'You Don't Know Jack' Gif-Tweet-Cap: Or Do We?

The Grimm episode "You Don't Know Jack" has a creature of the week, but it's not your typical creature. In fact, it may be one of our main characters, and may not even be Wesen! The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post.

The episode begins with lots of frowny-faces. The gang reminisces at the burned-out trailer, where only a few of the weapons and books have survived.
Then we meet the monster of the week, who seems to actually be Jack the Ripper, out killing Wesen prostitutes.
Soon after, Renard wakes up fully clothed in the middle of a pool.
Nick is finally on a rampage to fix Juliette before she does any more damage. Adalind helps out by exhuming the body of her mother so she can create a potion that will remove Hexenbiest powers. This seems a little too closely related to the potion used to return lost Hexenbiest powers.
Rosalee is the only one who can stomach ripping out organs from the long-dead Hexenbiest, while Monroe can barely stomach being in the same room as the body.
Adalind doesn't much enjoy drinking her mom potion. At least it was filtered through a witch hat rather than smoothie style.
Once she drinks it, she asks everyone to hold her down while her powers bubble up and supposedly leave her, causing the whole room to shake. Luckily, Monroe is able to catch the mom-juice before it falls to the floor.
The gang watches as Adalind tests out her powers as they slowly fade. Adalind can be stupid at times, but she's also sneaky. There's no way she truly believes that Juliette will drink the potion, or that she can be forced to drink it. It's amazing that the others can be so deluded. Is it possible that the potion has actually made Adalind stronger than Juliette so she'll have a fighting chance?
As Juliette creates more havoc, Renard creates a whole different kind of havoc when he goes to Henrietta for help, blowing up with emotion about how he's losing control of his mind, likely because of the way his mother brought him back to life at the beginning of the season. He storms out, but the Ripper (who may also be the captain) returns, killing Henrietta. We'll miss you! You were an awesome Hexenbitch!
Juliette answers Nick's call to come to the spice shop, but of course refuses to drink the potion. Instead, she throws everyone around, and forces Nick to raise his gun, apparently to kill Monroe. A shot rings out, but it's to be continued. The preview for next week contains some spoilers on what happens next, in case you can't stand not knowing.

'Grimm' 4x19 'Iron Hans' Gif-Tweet-Cap: Hexen-Puberty

"Iron Hans" is one of the few Grimm episodes with no monster of the week, although it does have a murderous Wesen of the week. Unfortunately, it's somewhat forgettable in comparison to what is going on with Juliette. The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post.
We start with boys being boys: catching a cute furry bunny for dinner. It's the Wesen Boy Scouts, learning a valuable lesson on hunting and devouring poor innocent creatures.
Later, Adalind shows Renard her baby bump, and his first reaction?
When she explains that the baby is Nick's he's even more shocked. And even more shocking than that? Nick is the only person she has slept with since the pregnancy. Renard calls for Nick, but he seems confused by the idea that he could have fathered her child... since he only slept with "Juliette," after all. Does that mean the baby is genetically Juliette's?
Then, Adalind gets rapey again, forcing Nick's hand onto the belly containing the baby she conceived through raping him.
Despite the rapey stuff, Nick develops the instinct to protect the innocent child just in time: Juliette shows up to rip Adalind's throat out. Nick grabs Juliette's arm to push her away, which proves to be a big mistake, at least from Juliette's insane perspective. She takes that to mean that he is choosing Adalind over her because becoming a Hexenbiest has turned her into a 5-year-old with frequent terrible-2-year-old tantrums.
Adalind has said that they will need to dig up her mother for some not-so-fresh Hexenbiest remains to be mixed into some sort of nasty potion that will probably taste as good as Juliette's new face. Later, Nick brings Adalind to the spice shop so she can help with the cure for Juliette. Rosalee wonders who Adalind's latest "sperm donor" is, but the answer is way to soap opera for her.
Oh yeah, there was a main plot in here somewhere. Whatever. The daughter of the guy who runs the camp killed innocent people because she was left out of the boy's club, and got a taste for human blood. Then she gets stabbed by her final prey and dies in her daddy's and brother's arms. Crazy weird biotch.
Juliette throws the worst two-year-old tantrum of a lifetime, tearing up generations of Grimm books and setting the whole trailer ablaze. To be extra evil, she gives Nick a call to make sure he understands just how happy she is to ruin his life.
