In TV production, parallel plots within an episode are ranked, A, B, C, etc. In Grimm, if the episode had a WotW, that was always the A plot. Anytime something had to be deleted for time, it would come from somewhere other than the A plot. Establishing shots, crowd shots, talking heads shots (which are what all the "relationship building" was), would always be the ones that got cut, in more or less that order.
