Episode 9:
Morning. Monroe and the others looking at the mirror at the loft. Adalind says it's connected to Eve. Or after her. Rosalee says maybe it's after Nick, too. Monroe makes it awkward. Nick saw it in a dream. Diana says that wasn't a dream. It's something not real, yet. Going to happen. In the other place, through the hole in the mirror. Monroe says we need a buddy system for mirrors. Rosalee tells Eve you're staying at our place until we figure this out.
Hunters in the forest deer hunting. One shot. Thinks he hit it. Sees blood. Finds a carcass and pokes it. Trees rustling. Creaking. Vines heading for him. Take him by the feet. Drunk friend looking for him. Friend calling for him. Tree kills him. Drags him to it. Hunter shoots. Then runs away in terror. To the truck. Peels out. Runs into a tree because he's too busy looking behind him.
Loft. Adalind did laundry. Nick wants to shave. Mirror is covered. She asks how it went away. Nick says it left when it saw me. She says what if this thing isn't afraid of Grimms. You know I like you with the stubble. Me, too. Wu calls.
Wu says a man is ranting that his friend was killed by the woods. Nick will be there as soon as he can.
Hank and Nick arrive. Lots of empty beer cans in the truck. Lots of ammo. No rifles. Ralph heard his friend screaming, then a plat stabbed him. Then a monster came out of nowhere. It was real! All the way up the dirt road. It was crazy. I heard him screaming. They find one of the rifles. And the deer. ralph says my friend is dead! This is where it happened. Ralph's rifle. I found him covered in plants and stuff and there was blood everywhere and I watched him die. This thing, covered in leaves and moss and mud. picked him right up. I shot it. Then I ran. Thought it was coming for me. They discuss how to handle Ralph.
Monroe and Eve and Rosalee at the shop. Eve wants to see the mirror. Rosalee gets the key and unlocks the drawer. Eve says I broke this mirror and the pieces came back together. Rosalee says it's not a magic mirror. Eve turns it over and the blood drips. Monroe puts it back in the drawer. Rosalee wonders about the other place. Eve says there might be only one way - to go there.
Nick looking up the nearest relative. victim and Ralph have priors. Hank says both rifles were fired. They each fired one shot. Ralph says he shot the monster. They consider Dev might've been Wesen. Wu says bodies have gone missing in that area before. Parked vehicles in the woods and vanished people. Nick says we'll take Ralph through it one more time.
In interrogation. They push him. Ralph insists killing a few animals isn't the same as killing a person! I tried to shoot this thing! I was trying to shoot the thing. It was awful, it was crazy-- Wu knocks.
Found something else on Ralph's jacket. Large amounts of chlorophyll. Enough for a Giant Sequoia. Nick will check the books. Sean notices them leaving.
His phone ringing in the office. Video conference with the Russian woman. She tries to speak English. Very unusual combo of symbols. They come from her imagination. But I ask myself how the daughter would know these symbols? Who is the mother? hexenbiest. Sean says she has more than me and her mother combined. Woman asks what kind of tunnel, in Oregon of all places, would have these symbols. I suspect this does not come from anywhere we know. Call me when you have more. I feared nothing.......until now.
Nick and Hank tell Monroe and Rosalee about the tree thing. She gets an idea. There are Wesen wired to protect the environment they live in. Monroe is through in description. Mess with their territory, they'll severely mess you up. Hank finds a Japanese tree thing. Elusive solitary beings. those captured are never seen again. Lost for eternity. Monroe says maybe he eats them. Maybe he never wogues. Always in protector mode. Rosalee says isn't there a law that allows you to protect your home? Monroe says like a deep biological drive. We're in a moral green area. LOL. Wu calls. Nick and Hank leave.
G&H Waste Solutions. Woman smoking a cigarette pours gunk out of the trunk into the forest ground. She litters, too.
Wu shows hank and Nick files. Missing people with crimes against nature. Nick says we go back out there first thing in the morning.
Trees rustling after dark. The woman is wrapped in vines. And killed. Drags away the body. Tree thing kneels. More vines around her body. She's pulled into a tree?
Wu and Hank and Nick in the woods. Wu thinks the place is pretty. Nick says spread out. Nick spots a hawk. Wu spots a deer. Hank sees squirrels. Wu finds a truck. Nick still looking around. Finds an odd tree.
Wu looks around the truck. Blood on the lawn chair. Red sludge pool from the truck. Stinks. Wu radios the others. Blood on a chair and toxic waste. Hank says heading your way. Nick says copy.
Awful smell. We need to call the EPA. Blood isn't dry, yet.
Precinct. Woman has a record for dumping. fined 7 times and never went to jail. Nick says they're missing in the same part of the woods? Wu says in 5 square miles. Arnold Quin, Newton Trail Head. Next at Wildwood Trail. BPA Road. Fires lanes 15 and 12. A bridge. Nick drew the perimeter. Let's see what's in the middle.
Back in the woods with the map. Nick says this is where I was this morning. Hell of a tree. Weird feeling. Not normal weird. Hank feels it. Wu feels it. I don't know if it's yours or mine. Nick finds blood. Hank says damp all around. Nick, Wu! A man's face. Screaming. In the tree. Wu's weird feeling is all his. Nick finds another. More faces on the tree. Hank says gives a whole new meaning to family tree.
Rosalee says it's a tree that survives on human blood. They're rooted to the ground, for what she knows. Faces are dead criminals. Tree absorbed them into itself? Maybe the Japanese tee guy is working with the tree. Rosalee says maybe you need to cause a little harm. Nick says make it seem like we're harming the forest. Rosalee gets an idea. A book. With teeth. Goop that's only harmful to Wesen with scales. Wu says our childhoods were very different. Rosalee and her brother used to mess with their neighbor. She says it takes hours to make this. Wu says bullets won't be enough. Nick says we need something sharp.
Ax.
Nick and Wu and Monroe and Hank. Monroe says it looks pretty harmless. Looks closer. Nick says we're not hallucinating. Wu says that tree is full of faces. Monroe admits it is. Nick says let's do this. Pour it all around. Monroe says I love trees. Poetry, LOL. Nick said it's not a normal tree. Now they wait. Hank has the shotgun. Wu wonders how long it'll take? Monroe says if it was me, I wouldn't wait long.
Waiting until dark. Hank says maybe we got this wrong. Monroe says it could know it's a trick. Nick says maybe it's not toxic enough. Monroe says I still have to live with myself, which is already challenging as it is. They call Rosalee. Turpentine might work. She'll bring it to them. Monroe is questioning the wisdom of this. Those people are killing the forest. How can you blame this thing for protecting its habitat?
Rosalee gets a call. Are you close? She's on the first road. Monroe says we're about a half a mile in. She says the road's rough. Her car is leaking!
Wu says the faces look like they're in pain. Prolonged suffering.
Her car stops. She looks behind. Oh crap. Monroe calls. She we have a problem. I'm leaking oil. Monroe is coming. She screams and runs from the tree thing.
She's calling for Monroe. Monroe freaking out. Nick uses his ears. This way! She hides behind a tree. Monroe calling her. She gets to him. It was right behind me. Monroe says we're getting you out of here now. And she's grabbed by the tree. They hack at the vines on her feet. That wasn't in the book. Monroe says that is! Tree thing coming to them. Nick tries to talk to it. I'm a Grimm. Vines attacks all of them. Choking them. Nick keeps hacking with the ax. Cuts into the things chest. Green blood. it staggers and falls. Tree wraps it up and pulls it into itself. Then the hole closes. Wu shines a flashlight. There's the face. What now? Can't arrest a tree. Monroe wants to chop it into firewood. Nick knocks. It's dead. More like entombed. So we've done all we can do. Yeah, let's go! Tree guy's eyes open.
Nick writing the case in his book. Wu's pun, lol. Nick writing out loud, so Hank is helping. And Wu. And Rosalee. Monroe had a thought. What if it protected it from us? Nick is done for the night. Wu takes a machete to sleep with.
Monroe in bed with Rosalee. No more adventures while you're pregnant. Kids will be adventure enough. Staring at the ceiling. Wood. There's kind of a face there. We should probably paint the ceiling. Yeah, good idea.
Next ep - Eve says We're the only ones that have seen this thing. we need to find this thing and kill it.
