one minor hole from this episode to season two is that Hap has to stay on Monroe's couch but in season two he has a guest room for Nick... Or did Monroe not want Hap getting to comfortable and staying forever

Happy stories are very difficult to pull off (an entirely happy story is probably like an entirely happy Utopia -- it's impossible and ain't gonna happen. Ever.) I also get the feeling that I'm being set up to watch someone in these various relationships die.The old writing adage is that "If the characters in your story are happy, then the reader is not." However, I'm not so sure how true that is in television shows, especially where there's regular external conflict based on the show's police procedural nature. I, personally, don't like the main cast of Grimm being happy, but most fans appear to enjoy Monroe and Rosalee being happy together. The writers also appear to have this same perspective of the relationship. If the majority likes how the show is going, it's probably better not to change the current setup. Though, when this setup gets boring, Rosalee and Juliette appear to be candidates 1 and 2 on the writer's hit list.

There's plenty of drama to mine in the Monroe/Rosalee relationship.Technically, the writers did try to do this with Nick and Juliette to some degree (issues can never be that "mundane" on a show about supernatural creatures). Examples are why did the refrigerator repairman get scared and run away. Or how Juliette turns down Nick's marriage proposal because he's not telling her the truth. However, the final consequence of all this was that I had to hear from a bunch of whiney Juliette-haters on IMDB. I like the above mundane matters, but most people lack the attention span to enjoy them. They did try to do this somewhat with Monroe by having him run Rosalee's spice shop, but even then, they couldn't restrain themselves from "not being mundane" (e.g., giving someone the wrong cure).

Though, if there's a group who's entire purpose was to satisfy that goal, that's new. Personally, based on the synopsis of the comics, I'm glad none of that is canon. I used to read comic books many years ago, but it's been decades since I read my last one. I now remember why. Most of the writing reminds me of the later season of Heroes' (which, coincidently, also had a comic that followed the show). This means there's lot of action/things happening, but ultimately the story just keeps digging itself deeper into a more convoluted and contradictory hole.

I just found something on Youtube that reminded me of Hap in the very first scene of this episode. Enjoy .

Fun fact. The man who Played Hap was in a episode of Bones and he had a business called Grimm Cleaner.

Here's an example of the mark of a good actor - saw a recent episode of Longmire in which Brad William Henke played a Basque sheep farmer and kept thinking he looked familiar until almost the end, when it kicked in that it was Hap. Playing a lovable ne'er-do-well in Grimm and such a dark ethnic character in Longmire shows a admirable range of acting versatility, imo. No apparent references to Grimm in the episode that I caught, tho'!

After watching this episode for the 1st time last week I have to say now it is one of my favorites. I literally couldn't stop laughing after the 1st scene. Hap was a really cool character and sadly they killed him off. I was interested in seeing into Monroe's past. This episode makes you wonder what Monroe really was like in his past. Overall, I really enjoy this episode.

After watching the additional episodes with Angelina and Orson. I think in season one Nick should have stayed out of that fight. What is amazing is in the episode Orson claims Angelina killed his brothers for sport. But later on and in other episodes they make it clear there is a long running feud.
There is another thing. If you look at it as two individuals Angelina and Orson actions should have consequences. But using wesen laws they are completely justified.

Angelina was killer. Nothing justifies it. She is too guilty of murder of your brothers and Brothers's Orson.
Nearly to kill a Monroe. To believe Nick not should to take part in the "stupid fight". Yes, "stupid fight.

I'll not write an episode review for each single episode. But I need to confess the Angelina episode was weird. I was like: Monroe, what do you do? After that I have remembered that there was no Rosalee at the time. And it's strange without her.

I haven't been able to watch any of the early episodes. Knowing in hindsight where some of these characters ultimately end up because of indifferent storytelling choices is just too painful.
