I thought it was a pretty solid episode!
I liked that Zuri was figured out. I like that we got to finally figure out more about Renard's motives, although I doubt that's all there is to it. I liked that Nick's anger may actually have momentum this time. I liked the majority of the Adalind stuff-- I think her perspective was illustrated well even if all her 'choices' in the past couple of episodes haven't been the greatest.
I liked Nick finally telling Trubel about the stick, and I liked that the stuff with Tony was actually tied in, as I thought it would be another thread that they just never mentioned again.
I find Diana to be creepy as hell, and I think that Rachel should definitely watch her back. But I find that story line interesting too, even though I wish it was given a little more time to develop. Diana is such a complex character, and so much has happened to her in her short life, I wish they would give us more insight on what she's thinking and what she's been through. I find her very interesting, and she has the potential to be even more so.
Not feeling the Julieve stuff, just because I don't think I like where they're going with all the Juliette that's coming to the surface. I'm not a fan of the whole Eve concept but I wish they would have their super-powered hexenbiest do more than tap away at computers, dump on Adalind and occasionally follow and torture people. Monumental waste. I also don't really like HW, but not from an in universe perspective, from a writing perspective. I feel like they've TOLD us that HW is this super powerful underground government organization, but they haven't really shown us that at all. Because what have HW REALLY done this season except find out scraps of info? Not much, in my opinion. It just feels disappointing. There's so many places they could have gone with that angle.
But anyway...
I didn't like all of the episode, there were parts that made me roll my eyes as always, but I've kind of accepted that to be part of grimm that it'll always annoy me a little, and I'll love it in spite of that.
Cannot wait for the finale!

IDKW but for some reason I like Black claw so much more then I like HW. Logically speaking Black Claw should dominate this fight handly. The only threat in HW is Eve but Diana should be able to destroy her pretty easily.
I think it's because Black Claw has more 'personality' than HW. HW have really done nothing to show us that we should root for them, except for that they're supposedly 'the good guys'.
I disagree with Black Claw's motives and I disagree with their methods, but they're definitely the more interesting organization.
That being said, I don't actually want them to all join up with Black Claw, but I think having Renard join and actually seem to be in to it was a good narrative choice because he's such an ambiguous character and it had us guesses about his motives for weeks.

One Sean looks to be into BC hook, line, and sinker so unless the writers put out a big twist than I can see him getting back to a good guy. Was surprised how little he thought of humans. So far Adalind has protected Nick well and for now looks like Diana may not be a good kid after all so Kelly failed to keep her a kid and lost her live for nothing. If I was Rachel I'd be worried about Diana those looks can kill, but so far she doesn't look like she a threat to Kelly. Now with that said do we think she would protect Kelly?
Hank got played but we kind of figured that one out. Now Trubel knows about the relic and where it is hidden so for that part only the two Grimm's know. She asked the question we have been asking what else can it do? Nick answer it depends on the user looks to be the way the writers are going so it can be use for good or evil. So no wonder the Grimm's hide it, when this is over I think Nick will destroy it.
BC is well set up makes HW look like they are not as prepared as we may have thought. Did like the episode and think Wu change will be key in the last two episode now that he has some control.
I asked Claire coffee in her facebook live today and she said that she thinks that Kelly and Diana would get along, so I'm not too worried about that right now.
She also confirmed that somebody would die and it would not be adalind. However, she didn't say whether it would be a main character or not, so if not, and the rumors are false, my money is on Rachel.
I will definitely be surprised if Diana comes out of no season with no blood on her hands. Kid has issues.
