Outstanding episode. It's probably been mentioned before, but there was no Fuchsbau shown in this ep, at least I couldn't see one. Guess it was the jeweler.
This is a big and important episode if the writers have any sense of continuity. And Farley Kolt may be on Kelly's trail right now if he stays true to form. That is a good thing for season three potential, imo, because I really like both of them. Thing is, can't figure if he's a good guy or a bad guy. He had the letters and the old film of Hitler in his hotel room. (Nick's got it all now!) The Kehlsteinhaus mentioned in the OSS (pre-CIA) letter is an actual lavish retreat built on a mountain in Bavaria as a 50th B'day present for Hitler (also called the Eagle's Nest, courtesy of Google) and when the coins were discovered there they were transferred to a government-owned vault in the U.S. for security. So maybe Kolt has a connection with our military and is part of why they were stolen from the vault (then how the heck did the jeweler get his hands on them?). But it was Kelly who had them at the time of the auto accident, so maybe not. Hopefully, we'll find out more this next season. Odd that Marie and Farley were engaged in view of all of this. Points to him being a good guy, tho'.
The Captain was brought under the sway of the coins immediately and they seemed to give an already ambitious person an intense desire to lead and possibly dominate. And they brought out an awful aggressiveness in Hank, so we can see how corrupting they are. Reminds me of the One Ring in LOTR.
Wonder if only a Grimm can see the wesen transformation on film (looked like actual footage of the Nuremburg rallies). It's a near-heresy, because I love him, but I can't help but see an evil Dan Ackroyd when Hitler woges
