Hi there. I am surfacing after finishing the semester to say I enjoy your commentaries on these episodes. I particularly like how the bad guys in this show are, as you say, "blindsided, defeated, quite literally, by a union of friendship [they] could never even conceive of." By refusing to be defined by the groups to which they belong, Monroe and Nick become so very unpredictable and like water wearing away stone, conquer by being willing to change. The fact that Nick is basically untutored as a Grimm, having to find his way with only research and his own moral code to guide him, is such a strength, because you get the feeling that the Grimms have not always been the good guys. This allows him to make alliances rather than enemies, to see good and evil as it actually is rather than simply going by the labels on the boxes
