'Grimm' 4x12 'Marechaussee' Gif-Tweet-Cap: The Biest Emerges

"Marechaussee" is the Hexenbiest episode of Grimm. It focuses mainly on Juliette and her new powers, with a little Manticore thrown in for good measure. The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post.
We start out with a fake psychic ripping off a sweet but clueless woman who wants to speak with her dead husband. The "psychic" prepares for his performance by making a show of reaching out for his client's hands. He then turns into a wolf-man to prove... uh... that her husband is a wolf spirit? Or something...
Later, a monkey-faced scorpion (Manticore) breaks in and kills him. After speaking with the clueless woman, the gang believes that the "psychic" may have been violating the rules of the Wesen council.
Meanwhile, Juliette is meeting with Henrietta about her slight problem of biesting out all the time. Then, Biestiette plays a game of Hexen-dominoes with her new BFF (biest friend forever). Henrietta then draws Juliette's blood Biest-style (without a needle), and it begins swirling into a Technicolored nightmare.
Later, Biestiette realizes that she's got pretty good telekinesis skills while cooking, so she practices on a pepper mill. When Nick calls out to her, she ends up hitting herself in the head. We now know how to kill a Hexenbiest! Just sneak up on her when she's "reaching" for a knife, then startle her as it's flying through the air. Voilà!
Adalind has returned, and is in town to search for Diana, her baby. She knows that Nick's mom is caring for her, so Renard gives him a heads-up call, and Nick, in turn, gives Juliette a heads-up call while she's at work as a veterinarian (remember, she has a job!) Biestiette clearly shows her hexen-fury for the woman who turned her into a Hexenbiest, causing all the little pets at her clinic to freak out.
Turns out Juliette is one powerful Biest. Even Henrietta is freaked out when Juliette's blood boils over and digs its own hole to China. When Juliette freaks out about it, Henrietta is forced to slap her silly.
Then there's the matter of the killer Manticore. Monroe and Rosalee call the Wesen Council to ask about him, but they know the couple is friends with a Grimm, and want them to stay out of it. They have also added him to the Manticore's hit list.
When Nick hears that he's a target, he hurries home to protect Juliette, still not knowing what she has become. The Manticore decides to off Juliette, but as he goes in for the kill, Biestiette stops him at the last minute. She then proceeds to stab him with his own stinger. Nick looks dumbfounded when he finally makes it home, but Biestiette explains it with a simple, "He missed," and a sly smirk. Wow, she's hardcore Biest now!

'Grimm' 4x11 'Death Do Us Part' Gif-Tweet-Cap: Shocking!

The Grimm episode "Death Do Us Part" lightens the mood a bit after the last few weeks of intensity. In fact, it's a combo Ghost Hunters spoof, soap opera spoof, reminiscent of the similar spoof on Supernatural. The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post.

We start off with the Ghost Seeker crew in a haunted house, and guaranteeing to keep filming. Ghost Seeker Raymond, who says "literally" literally in every sentence, tells the story of Stetson and Patty Donovan, who were burned alive in their bed. But then some sort of electric-eel man literally turns Raymond into a burned crisp. Maybe eel-man should be called set-too-high-toaster man?
Later, Nick comes home to find that Juliette is gone (she's still showing Renard her woge). She wants to know how to reverse it, but the only thing he can do is put her in contact with Henrietta, his mom's friend.

When she finally returns and they go to bed, she most likely blocks his romantic overtures (as she does later in the episode) and goes to sleep. Therefore, Nick decides to decapitate Juliette, but of course, it's just a nightmare.
When Juliette meets up with Renard to discuss her situation, some jerkface pulls into a spot right in front of her, almost hitting her as shes walking. Juliette is a little too angry at the guy. Sure, he's a douchebag, but that doesn't exactly mean he deserves to die horribly. Well, maybe. It is a TV show, after all. It's always fun to kill off the douchebags on TV.
Hank and Nick learn that the bodies of the couple were too damaged to identify, and the viewers will soon learn the truth. Meanwhile, a homeless man enters the house, goes to bed on the nasty old charred bed, and proceeds to hallucinate about a dancing couple. Then a few sparks literally fly.
So the truth is that it's a Wesen love triangle. Patty was having an affair with a guy named Theo, and Theo's wife Lily works as a waitress.

Back in normal land, Nick and Juliette think it will be fun to videophone with the honeymooners. Monroe and Rosalee nearly cut their honeymoon short at the slightest whiff if trouble back home... for a split second. Monroe is still willing to come home if he's needed, but Rosalee smartly turns off the webcam before anyone can change their minds.
In Wesen World, we soon find that Stetson is the homeless murderer, and he killed his wife and Theo in the bed. Nick's books say that he must pierce his ear and rub frog paste in it if he wants to fight eel-man without turning into toast. Really? That's definitely a new one!
So he does it, and they go find Stetson the homeless eel toaster back in the house. Nick fights him off, then Lily shoots him in the back to put an end to it once and for all. Set-too-high-toaster man then lets out a burst of energy as he dies. Bye weirdo!
At the of the episode, Juliette meets with Henrietta, but we have to wait to see what they talk about. Meanwhile, Regard's gunshot wounds begin bleeding again, but soon close up. He has no idea what's going on. Does this mean his mama is in danger, since she's the one who saved him?

'Elementary' 3x11, 3x12 'The Illustrious Client,' 'The One That Got Away': We Love You Kitty!

This is a two-part recap for a two-parter Elementary, including the episodes "The Illustrious Client" and "The One That Got Away," and they're all about Kitty! The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post, and the Baker Street Podcast I cohost is coming soon. You can also subscribe to it on iTunes.

"The Illustrious Client" begins with a big happy smile from Joan. In fact, it's the happiest we've seen her in awhile, and it's all because of her new ginormous office with a view. Too bad her new job is at an insurance agency. Yawn.
Kitty is happy that she can have more learning time with Sherlock, except that soon changes when she sees that Joan is not at her new job. Nope, it's time to tell her what was found at the end of the last episode: a message to her from the man who hurt her in the form of Melanie, who is now a dead body with the same scars as Kitty.
The detective initially on the case is just plain dumb, and Kitty sets him straight by bravely showing him her back to prove that the murderer is the same man who scarred her, not the guy he's currently chasing.
The first man they question is a douchebag who had a date with Melanie, but he only saw her at the bar. She wasn't "hot enough" for him. The bartender is similarly douchey, surprised that a woman who acted just like she had been roofied could actually have been roofied, what with his high-end clientele. Luckily, the bad guy left behind a phone.
The phone leads them to a house of horrors, containing many women enslaved in sex trafficking. The main suspect, Simon de Merville, is nowhere to be found, but one of his Albanian sex traffickers is found dead. de Merville was injured in the fight and ran off. Also, the poker used to scar Kitty and the other dead victim, Malanie, is found at the house.
The gang finds de Merville's doctor sister, but she is not cooperative. Sherlock works his magic anyway to deduce that de Merville stole a drug used to treat a rare disease known as PNH. He gets Josn to use her new job to find people in the area who have PNH so they can find where de Merville is hiding.

Kitty is fuming with hatred toward the sister for helping her disgusting brother. In fact, she threatens the sister with her single stick.
Meanwhile, Joan "startles" Sherlock as he listens to the hum of bees in an attempt to "crowd out caring" (as Joan puts it) and focus on the case.
But now the sister is willing to help by giving her brother a call, with Kitty standing over her, and Sherlock realizes that de Merville is "micturating" (peeing) on a boat... and he knows this from supposedly spending time on boats getting seasick.
de Merville is not anywhere on the water though. Sherlock soon remembers artificial turf he spotted at the house next door to the brothel however, because it is used in boat storage. This leads them to de Merville's dead body, in a boat parked in the driveway to a house whose owner's son has PNH. de Merville had basically paid him with the drugs to save his son's life for a place to stay.
Unfortunately, Kitty is sure that de Merville is not the man who hurt her because his fingers aren't broken. She had broken the man's fingers during her escape. But she does find the man who hurt her when she visits Joan. Joan is talking to her new boss on speaker, and Kitty recognizes his voice!
In the next episode, "The One That Got Away," we get to see a few flashbacks from eight months ago when Sherlock and Kitty first met. It begins with Kitty trying to convince a snooty detective that a boy has been abducted by a rapist. When he wont listen, she breaks her tablet computer in disgust, and Sherlock happens to be standing there.
Joan doesn't believe that her new boss, Del Gruner, could be the horrible man Kitty and Sherlock believe he is... until Sherlock logically walks her through it, and Del, listening to every word from her spying work phone, instantly calls her to fire her. Oh, and he also acts incredibly guilty when being questioned by Gregson, using his firing of Joan as leverage to make her seem like a disgruntled employee.
Kitty decides that it is best if she leave for London, and not be involved with the case, but she doesn't actually leave. She stays behind to watch Gruner, supposedly without Sherlock's knowledge (we later learn that he knew all along).
Sherlock works hard to find other victims that Gruner tried to hide, but to no avail. Bell finds a possible future victim, Tabitha, but she is nothing like his type. Watson attempts to get a rise out of him by attending a charity event and mentioning three of the possible victims Sherlock had researched. Nothing works until Tabitha walks over, and he learns that they spoke with her. That makes him furious.
They can't figure out the connection until Sherlock realizes that one possible victim he had ruled out met every criteria except for having been kept for a year rather than three weeks. She had been found six years ago, which is exactly how long he has given to Tabitha's charity. Her adopted son is Gruner's son!
In a series of flashbacks, we learn how Sherlock and Kitty ultimately began working together, and her training begins with breaking and entering. She cant figure it out though, ao she comically tries to kick the door in, causing Sherlock to droop his head in frustration.
Back in the present, the cops now have all they need to put Gruner away, except Gruner himself. No, that's because Kitty has him tied up and all ready to be turned into a soup of homemade "nutmeg concoction."
Sherlock, fully aware of where she is via her phone, comes to tell her that she does not need to be a murderer, because they can prove what he did. But, he leaves it up to her, and ensures that she understands that he'll always be her friend, no matter what her decision. So, she decides to permanently remove his smirk.
Kitty now has no choice but to leave, or be put in prison. Before getting on the plane, she tells Sherlock that she loves him. It seems to be more of a friend or daughter love than romantic love. We hope to see her again, either here or in a spin-off!
In a final flashback, Sherlock is crying after Kitty had left for awhile because of an insensitive comment he had made about her wanting to be broken. She returns, showing the exact point at which Kitty saved him from being broken. He burns up his drugs, then proceeds to save Kitty. Essentially, they saved each other.
