\"One Angry Fuchsbau<\/a>\" was a rather modest episode for Grimm <\/em>Season 2<\/a>.<\/p>

The callbacks, small moments and humor made for a fun, but mostly lighthearted installment. But that's about it.<\/p>

\"On<\/a><\/p>

The references to “La Llorona<\/a>’s” spiritual grandma reminded us Juliette’s upcoming choice and further shed a little bit more on the type of decisions and world’s she’s about to enter: one filled with light or one filled with darkness.<\/p>

Juliette isn’t sure what is real and what isn’t and the choice she’s going to make is going to lead her to a world with light or a world covered in darkness. I have a difficult time buying that Juliette’s dilemma has anything to do with the traditional good and evil archetypes because Grimm<\/em> is never anything close to traditional and Juliette, for all her annoyances and faults, is a genuinely good character.<\/p>

Juliette’s choice could end up being far simpler: a world filled with light is a world where she knows the truth, and a dark world is a world where she’s oblivious to what’s going on. The Grandma again reminds her that she has a choice to make, but, hypothetically, Juliette has already experienced a world filled with darkness. She’s currently living in it. She’s haunted by her reemerging memories of Nick; it’s literally a world where there’s a dark spot in her life.<\/p>

If Juliette chooses to embrace those memories of Nick and to believe what he told her about the trailer and him, she’s in a world of light or enlightenment. She just needs to find the mental courage and fortitude to take the leap.<\/p>

The longer arcs for the season didn’t get much play time with Renard getting a whopping single scene<\/em> to clue Nick and Hank in on who went after him and to remind us of the Verrat. I guess he was such a badass last week he needs to be relegated to a few sentences to make up for it.<\/p>

A Few More Thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>
