Opening quote: "I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...." Leonard Drake (Gavin Hoffman) is killed and the killer moves the body to a dumpster, where it is taken by the garbage truck.
Crawford), they contact Natalie Haverstraw (Amanda Walsh), Leonard's girlfriend, who was suffering domestic abuse and had moved out that night.
Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) arrives home to find a woman (Jill Westerby) parked nearby photographing her house.
Club's Kevin McFarland gave the episode a "C+" grade and wrote, "I'm not pleased that Grimm is settling in to be a fairy tale version of the first half of Law & Order.
It has a predictable routine, and until now I've been along for the ride, pleasantly surprised by some clever takes on Grimm fairy tales, more invested whenever Eddie Monroe gets more screen time, and impressed by a few episodes that have managed to combine some well-teased serialized storytelling within a taut police investigation.
Its best scenes are B and C-plot stories that get less than five minutes of screen time, linked to Juliet's lingering fear after the break-in at her and Nick's house, and finally some tiny connection to the Reaper that showed up to talk with the captain at the beginning of the season.
"[2] In contrast, Nick McHatton from TV Fanatic, gave a 4.7 star rating out of 5, stating: "Grimm took a walk on the Fringe side tonight with 'Of Mouse and Man,' a serial-heavy episode.
