Cat and Mouse (Grimm)

Waltz contacts Nick, suggesting a "Freidenreden" [sic, meaning "Friedenreden" ("peace talks")] - a temporary truce in order to negotiate - to discuss delivering Ian to him.

It's as if the continued signs of Grimm's survival—first a full-season pickup, then a second season renewal — encouraged David Greenwalt and the writing staff to make it a show that deserved its new lease on life, or to at least take some more chances with the storytelling.

"[3] Nick McHatton from TV Fanatic, gave a 4.5 star rating out of 5, stating: "Grimm expanded the looming danger tonight, peeling back even more of the layers of the Wesen world.
