Grimm, Season 3, Episode 4, “One Night Stand”
Written by Sean Calder
Directed by Steven DePaul
Airs Fridays at 9pm Est on NBC
This week, on Grimm: Rosalee moves in, Nick gets a clean bill of health, and Jake meets Ariel
While Grimm is rooted in fairy tales, this week’s episode is the first to seemingly take direct inspiration from a modern classic, The Little Mermaid. Usually the show takes a particular myth or folk tale as a jumping off point before going in a new direction, but “One Night Stand” is a break from this, providing direct parallels to several of the beloved film’s key elements. Elly, our main Nyad protagonist, loves Jake from afar and saves him from drowning, pulling him onto the land and resuscitating him. She stares lovingly at him as he blearily opens his eyes, not sure what he’s seeing, and then jumps...

“One Night Stand”
Written By: Sean Calder
Directed By: Steven Depaul
Original Airdate: 15 November 2013
In This Episode...
Two couples are hanging out around a bonfire on the beach. They are singing, laughing, drinking... typical twentysomething stuff. One couple, Dan and Anna, go for a swim. Sarah goes for more beer for her and Jake. Hiding behind the foliage, spying, is youngest sister Ellie, a deaf girl with a huge crush on Jake. She begs Sarah, “not that one,” Sarah dismisses her, marches back to the beach, jumps in the water, disrobes, and lures Jake out for a little aquatic sexytime. He is all too eager to join her. But things take a nasty turn when scaly, fishy hands (yes, hands) grabs the boys and drag them under. Sarah and Anna swim away, but Ellie can’t let this happen to Jake. She save him, and as he starts to wake,...

Grimm Episode 2.20 “Kiss of the Muse”
Written by Sean Calder
Directed by Tawnia McKiernan
Airs Tuesday 10.00pm Est on NBC
It’s probably unfair to compare modest little Grimm to David Lynch’s masterpiece Blue Velvet, but in this episode the similarities are there: obsession, art, a woman with a face like a magnet. No one turns up with a tank of laughing gas pressed to their face, but the woman in question does have the Lynch-like touch of possessing poison lips.
Juicy stuff, nicely rounded off with a demented Wesen breaking into a paint store and creating a giant graffito of said woman’s face on the nearest convenient piece of concrete. The Wesen with poison lips is a Musai, one of which was responsible for sending poor old Vincent round the bend. The fact that this one has the surname Sedgewick might be a coy nod to Warhol’s real muse Edie,...

Grimm Episode 2.10 “The Hour of Death”
Written by: Sean Calder
Directed by: Peter Werner
Airs Friday 9.00pm Est on NBC
I’m just going to repeat a line from my review of last week’s Grimm
‘Is Ryan Smulson, the clumsy intern at the station, actually a Wesen mole?’
To which question the answer has to be Damn I’M Good.
Ok, Ryan was a little too obviously fresh-faced and aw-shucks to be believable (also, what police station has interns?) but still – Score one for me.
That said, although the storyline this week, which involved Ryan and another Grimm doing Nick’s job for him, had the benefit of giving David Giuntoli more to do, it wrapped up what was a promising new development way too quickly and neatly for me. According to Grimm lore, Hitler was a Loven and there’s a sense of balance about the discovery that...
