Ep 6:

6 months ago. Palmer Tech. Minitiarization test #1. Boom.

Present day. The Queens with Alex. Felicity was supposed to be there, but she's slammed at Palmer Tech. Oliver leaves. Alex suggests checking out Gerard's for a potential intro party. Thea says a date wouldn't be professional. He apologizes. She said it was nice.

Felicity obsessing over Ray's message. Curtis comes in. Do you have that playing on a loop? Curtis says you're no good to Mr. Palmer in your current state. Oliver arrives. Curtis says Green Arrow's not you....jaw's not right. LOL. Oliver says it's Wednesday. What's going on? She plays the message. Ray's not dead. He sent this message 6 days ago! I have to help him.

Island. Oliver shows them to the cave. Boss highlights a message with the jewel. Lead an excavation to the cove. Find my gift. They leave Oliver. Boss says take Mr. Queen to the cove.

Sara on the phone. With her mom. Quentin sets mugs down. Laurel holds Sara's hand. Sara says Mom told a story about getting lost once and promising I'd always come back.

Oliver brings Felicity home. You need a shower and a nap. He offers to help. She's grumpy. He says go shower and take a nap. She gets an alert. Program stopped compiling. She goes to the computer. There's video! Ray talks to them. They want my suit, or the tech. The suit worked too well. He's in a little box on a table.

Felicity play the vid for Laurel. Ray had schematics for device at Palmer tech. Oliver wants to go with her. She says no.

Island. Oliver and people at the cove. Take 15 minutes and eat. He leaves to take his lunch in peace. Soldier offers Vlad a better option.

Curtis and Felicity. He says we don't have a quantum manifold. It's made by our biggest competitor. Donna arrives! What are you doing here? Your assistant told me you'd be here. Oliver told me you've been working nonstop. Who are you? Curtis introduces himself. Donna asks what do you want to do first? Felicity gets her mother out. Tells Curtis to start building the device.

She yells at Oliver. He says She said she missed you and texted me an emoji. You text with my mother?! Diggle and team have heard the whole thing. LOL. Sara, too. Felicity says the building is very secure. She calls Oliver Chatty Cathy. He repels in. Dangles at the panel. 4587. Team inside. Felicity says the cameras are coming back online. Thea wonders if Sara should be here. Laurel says she'll be fine. They look for the manifold. Thea picks up a part and an alarm goes off. Guards rush in. Sara beats on a guard. Laurel and Thea get her to stop, but the guy is unconscious.

Ray contacts Felicity again. He knows the manifold presents a challenge. She says nothing a late night shopping trip to Cord Industries couldn't cure. Good. Damian bends down, peering at Ray. Felicity says Oh no.

Felicity grills Diggle and Oliver. Sara had a moment. They took her home. They discuss Darhk. Wait and see what Lance finds out there. Oliver says spend time with your mother. I'll cool. She says you already made plans, didn't you? Well......yes. It's just dinner! Diggle agrees. Felicity says this isn't the time for Cordon Bleu. Oliver says we can't do anything until we have what we need. So, dinner.

Island. Oliver visits the woman he saved. With food. He asks her about mystical or magical things. She says the boss has always been religious. Oliver thinks the drugs are a front. I can't stay long. You need to stay here. I'll come back as much as I can.

Damian talks to Ray. Appeal for your cooperation. Who is this Felicity? Ray says don't you touch her. Damian says don't make empty threats It's small.

Dinner. Oliver arrives. Donna tried to follow the recipe and the oven caught fire. The chicken is raw. Oliver says Lance will find out where the...pain is coming from. Donna offers to get takeout. Whispers to Felicity that the best part of arguing is make-up sex. LOL. Oliver says you're shutting me out. Felicity says I can't help Ray with all these distractions. Ray was sending distress calls for weeks. I was with you. Swept up in you. It was my choice to uproot my life, but I lost myself in you and I was never that girl. Oliver says this isn't about Ray. It's about us. She says no. Yes. I don't know. Oliver will give her some space until she figures it out.

**Glad they're showing this relationship isn't perfect. I never thought it was organic to happen as it has. They've made Oliver and Felicity a couple because a loud portion of fans demanded it. If it had seemed natural, I'd be all on board, but it never has. He goes in love with Sara, wanting to move in with Sara, to practically overnight deciding to date and love Felicity instead? That's rebound at best, and both characters deserve better.

Oliver at the computers. Diggle joins him. Dinner went that well, did it? Oliver misses the trunk of Russian vodka. Diggle brings out Tennessee whiskey. Oliver says Donna isn't the problem. I am. She says she's lost herself in our relationship. If we hadn't left, she would've been here to help Ray. Oliver wonders why she chose me. Diggle says Felicity didn't choose Ray. She chose you. Oliver wonders what happens if we don't get Ray back. Diggle says she'll get him back. I married a woman like that. Twice. Lance texts that he's meeting with Darhk in 20. You good? Oliver says better. Thank you.

Island. Vlad attacks Oliver and tries to drown him.

Lance and Darhk. Damian says I've figured out how to make this city useful. Lance says my daughter is a little off. thought i could help you a bit more and you could help with this magic mumbo jumbo. Damian says perhaps. This is the last time you summon me. Damian follows the car.

Donna brought her hot milk. Do you remember when I told you that you couldn't go to space camp and you locked yourself in your room for 2 days? Truth was, I couldn't afford it. Your father never paid a dime of child support. You, are not me. You are a CEO, and Oliver is not like your father. He loves you. Felicity says he's wonderful. It's too easy to lose myself in him. Donna says that's how it's supposed to feel when you love someone. He's lost himself in you, too. If you wreck this, you'll never find another guy that hot again who cooks. LOL. Text message.

Team in the Arrow Cave. Can't get into Darhk's building. It's too secure. The device? Curtis can assemble it in an hour. We don't have that much time. Do we want to bring your assistant in on this? Sara offers to help. Laurel says that's not a good idea. Sara needs to know she can control this. Laurel says suit up.

Green Arrow on the roof. He gets knocked out by a ghost.

Green Arrow chained up. Damian admires his arrows. Tells the ghost to leave.
Ghost is Diggle. Package is delivered.
Felicity and Curtis ready. Diggle takes out the security. She and Curtis base jump through a window. Diggle says let's go.
Canaries in the lobby. Ghosts shooting at them and Speedy.

Damian wants to peek. Oliver kicks him and breaks free. Damian wraps chains around his throat with magic.

Canaries and Speedy fighting with ghosts.

Felicity and Curtis reach Ray. How do we get him out of the box?

Damian says it's a shame you won't live to see the new life I breathe into the city, the world. Oliver throws flash powder and gets away. Damian is surprised Green Arrow get out of the chains.

Curtis brings Ray back to life size. Ray says I'm not dead. LOL.

Diggle signals the girls to go. Sara kills a ghost. Laurel drags her away.

Green Arrow says We have to move. Good to see you, Ray. Ray says Nice suit. Heh.

Ray says the worst part was everything else was so big. Cockroaches were the size of golden retrievers. Felicity says no, no more. She says there don't seem to be side effects to the micro sizing. Oliver says Damian leads HIVE. Ray says like Spectre? Cool. Or not. She'll take him home.

Island. Oliver gets free. Kills Vlad. Soldier says you better have a story to go with that body.

Sara says I couldn't stop myself. And I felt better. Thea says it will take time. Sara says how many bodies? I need to handle this in a different way. Laurel, I owe you everything. You gave me a second chance. I think it's time I really start over. They say you don't have to leave. Thea says you can have a normal life. Sara says I'll visit Mom. Then somewhere, a few somewheres. Laurel says you have to do what makes you happy. I'm really going to miss you. Sara says I love you, sis, always and forever.

Felicity gets home. It went fine, until I told Ray I sold his condo. She wants to clear the air. I want to thank you for helping, and being so understanding. Oliver says I'm sorry I'm not the best listener. All this is new to me. She says me, too. He says it's kind of amazing we've made it this far. She says we'll be fine. We found ourselves in each other. They kiss.

Lance at a bar. Donna says feeling lonely? She came to visit her daughter, but she kicked me out to finish a fight with the man I hope will be my son in law. He says my daughter is leaving town 5 minutes after she got back. Lance. Donna.

Thea asks Alex to have a drink with her later. He says yes.

Damian with a scientist. They got residue and fashioned it into a power source. Damian says test it out on this.

Next week - Diggle looking into Andy. Who is ALIVE.

Ep 7:

image credit: ABC


Hawaii. May on the beach. Andrew takes her photo. She says this time tomorrow, we'll be home. She suggests not going back to SHIELD. At least not right away. She doesn't want to be a reason why they don't work. Andrew says I don't plan on losing you a second time, so how about going steady? to new beginnings.

Andrew on the phone with Coulson. They just got back. Coulson sent Jiaying's things. A book was booby trapped and Andrew is transformed. Encased.

Now. Daisy talking to Coulson about the ACTU warehouse. She says we're not a disease. Coulson knows that. But things are getting out of hand. Daisy says everyone should have a chance to be who they are. Andrew says not everyone is like you. Coulson brings up Lash. She says most Inhumans fall between me and Lash. Coulson is meeting with the President at NORAD today. He wants Daisy to talk to Rosalind. Andrew will assess Joey as a midground.

He runs into Simmons in the hall. You did the right thing telling Fitz. Secrets can eat you up from the inside.

She goes in the lab. Has her phone still. Hoping you could recover the data. I always felt better having you as my second pair of eyes. He'll get right on it. She thanks him.

May thinking about what Strucker said. Bobbi says everyone at HQ says Andrew is fine. I hope you stick around. Hydra isn't the only thing we're facing. ACTU, Lash, etc. He transforms into a man, which makes him impossible to find.

May goes to the computer. Looks up Andrew. Daisy hugs her in the hall. May says I need to talk to Andrew.

The Cocoon. SHIELD training facility. Joey working on his power. He shapes metal into a ball. I can create things now. Lash strikes out and kills him! No, Andrew was only thinking about it. Joey says Daisy thinks I can be an asset to SHIELD, but she said my fate is in your hands. Andrew says yes, it is.

Bobbi looking at her scar. Hunter comes in. Kisses her. Are you alright? She says of course. Hunter, it's not a good idea. He asks about Andrew? Everything I did was to protect you. She says I don't want either of us to go after Ward. I don't need a knight in shining armor, I need you alive! I don't want to lose ourselves. Become so obsessed, we turn into monsters like him.

Rosalind brought on the carrier. Daisy will show you around.

Fitz working on the phone. Recovers the birthday video. Then photos of the planet. Then of Simmons and the guy. He leaves the desk. Hears a voice recording. Jemma talking to him on the planet.

Joey says I now feel empowered. The idea I could build something in a day, it's unreal. Daisy's trying to put together soldiers, right? Andrew says he'd worried about dangerous people. May bursts in. We need to talk alone.

Mack meets with Lincoln. He went looking for his friends. those that aren't missing are dead. Lincoln says Lash is in SHIELD and I can prove it.

Daisy shows Rosalind the module. Our goal is to observe and educate people. We don't throw them away. Admit you're afraid of people like me. Rosalind says absolutely. you could take down this plane. Me. Some are enough. For every Daisy Johnson, there's a Lash. It's ignorant for you to think otherwise.

Andrew asks what's this about? May tracked his movements. Your med files, too. Your blood work was deleted. That Von Strucker kid didn't die in the blast. He told me what you did. He wasn't lying. The look on his face, it was pure terror. What happened to you? You can tell me. Don't lie to me! How could this happen? Tell me, please! Andrew begs her to stop! Malinda, stop! Then shoots her with an icer.

Fitz listening to more. Watches a video. Jemma's struggles. Do you remember when we first met? I do. You must've been so annoyed with me following you around all the time. I used to imagine our dinner, where we'd eat. I still think about it. He's crying watching. She says I should save my battery. But I'll still talk to you on my own if that's alright. I'll always be with you, Fitz.

Culver University. May wakes up chained up. Andrew says I'm so sorry. I panicked. I needed time to explain. I didn't know how. I didn't ask for this. She asks what have you done? Let me go! He says I don't know what I'll do. Instinct will take over again. She says you killed all those people. How? When? He says after Hawaii. Daisy's mom kept records. I opened a book. Lucky me. At first, I was relieved, i survived. I felt sick. Like my heart was in my head. Like a part of me was unlocked. As if I was compelled. I had to be near them. I had this new desire. A hunger. Then my body took over and I lashed out. And then I felt relief. I had to keep you away. I was a coward. I ended things with you to protect you. I love you and I need your help.

Coulson called. Rosalind asks if everything is alright. He isn't sure. She says Daisy has fire. I keep my promises. People don't know about her. She offers to help him with his tie. Asks what really happened? Not buying the shark attack. he says one of my men saved my life by chopping it off. She asks if it hurts? Every day. She says it's important to look ahead.

Mack and Lincoln show up. He has intel on Lash. Lincoln says those of us from Afterlife were trained to blend in. Lash is using Jiaying's ledger. SHIELD has it. Andrew had access. You're saying Andrew is Lash? May accessed his flight logs this morning. Coulson says reroute the plane. The President has to wait. Daisy says Andrew won't hurt her. Lincoln says Andrew is in transition. Then he'll stay Lash permanently. The man you know is disappearing.

May says were you going to hurt Joey? Andrew says no. And I'd never hurt Daisy. But Lincoln? that kid has a dark side. He says in Bahrain, if you hadn't killed that little girl, people would've died. I need your help. I don't want to do what I'm doing, either.....I have to.

Andrew says I haven't lost myself. She doesn't know what to do. I know. Remember our first apartment? One room, cold. Malinda... She says things are more complicated. He says I'm still the same Andrew. Please don't give up on me. He kisses her. Coulson interrupts. Andrew says you don't understand. Coulson says I'd like to see everyone walk out unharmed. But I'm not alone.

Rosalind tells her men to not move until Coulson gives the order.

Coulson says this doesn't have to go badly. Andrew says I'm trying to help. Sort the good from the bad. You gave me this job. Coulson says you're not okay. Andrew knows how it looks, but you'll see. I'm doing you a favor. I've only killed those who deserve it. Lincoln says who made you judge, jury, and executioner. Andrew starts changing. I am the cure. Lincoln attacks him. Coulson says we have to get him to the module.

Lincoln attacks Lash again. Lash fights back. Mack shoots him with tranqs. Runs. Coulson tries to reach Andrew. ACTU shoots Lash. He charges them and takes them out. Rosalind fires. He picks her up by her throat.

**Daisy, this is going to be up to you. Or May. The only 2 that can get through to Andrew.

He dangles her, and drops her. Daisy saves her from hitting the ground. Helps Rosalind up. Thank you. Coulson runs over. He didn't know Daisy could do that. She says we have to get him to the module.

May surveys the damage. Gets in between Lash and Lincoln. I've thought about my death a number of times. I just didn't know it'd be you. I never knew why you married me. That's why it was so easy to walk away. I lost something when I left you. I won't do it again. But you have to stop this. He changes back. She shoots him into the module and shuts the door. Lash is drugged out. Coulson asks how'd you know that wouldn't kill him? She says I didn't.

Fitz shows Bobbi and Hunter a photo. The logo of the space program. What if the group that carved the symbol in the door is the same that sent him. Bobbi says it's worth digging into.

Mack asks Lincoln if he's staying. Yeah. Rosalind says if we put Andrew in stasis, it'll slow his transition. May asks Daisy what would you do? She says it's temporary, but Andrew helped me. I'd do whatever it takes. May says do it. Rosalind asks Coulson if he needs to go after May. No. She wouldn't want me to. Rosalind offers a drink.

Simmons couldn't sleep. Fitz says I think I found something. And, um, fixed your sim card. So when you said all those things..... She says I was as clearheaded as I've ever been. What do you think we should do about it? He says for now....watch the sunrise. She smiles.

May on the plane, thinking about Hawaii. He asks what's wrong? She says I never thought I deserved this. Happiness. This kind of happiness. He says of course you do. Kisses her. We both do.

Ward. Talking to the Hydra old guy. Hope that Strucker won't wake up. Are you asking for the right things? Revenge is a temporary pleasure. You should think on a grander scale. Ward says without Phil Coulson, SHIELD won't grow back. Phone call. Ms. Price talking to the President! OMG.

Coulson leaving her place. How about breakfast first? He will make time for that. Kisses her.

Next week - secrets are revealed. Rosalind in trouble with Coulson. Who do you really work for and what are you hiding?

"Cool Boys" was written by Alexi Hawley and directed by Paul Holahan.

Ep 6:

Cars pull up with armed men. Police. Espo says expect the worst. These guys are beyond dangerous. They enter the building. Find Castle and

This morning. Castle's moping in his office. Martha offers advice. She's writing a book on unsolicited advice. Have faith. Things work themselves out. A little time apart is just what you need. Castle wants a distraction.

Alexis watching the news. Ethan Slaughter walks in. She says she'll tell her dad. She goes in. Castle isn't happy about it. He says he can handle it.....he's not interested...peeks out, and Slaughter spooks him. LOL. We've got some business to discuss. Martha says the last time you did business together, he was on anti-anxiety meds for a month! Slaughter is working on the burglary in the big shiny building. Thought Sherlock could help him out. Castle says my schedule is full. They concur that he's swamped. Slaughter offers stories for Castle's next book. Martha says be strong, Richard. Castle runs after him.

Lanie at the crime scene of Victor Lee. Stabbed last night. Ryan says the last person the vic called was Slaughter. He walks in with Castle. Got any leads? Ryan asks what they talked about. Slaughter says Victor was my CI. Espo says keep us in the loop on every move you make. Slaughter agrees. Then tells Castle he's not sharing.

They talk to a woman. Victor said he was going to come into big money. They were going to move to CA. Castle asks Slaughter if Victor was maybe involved. Given into temptation. She says Victor met with some guy named Trucco.

Precinct. Espo says there's a print from the murder weapon.

Slaughter found Trucco. Castle gets called. Ryan says Slaughter's prints were on the murder weapon.

**Wonder if we'll get Firefly references again.

Slaughter asks who you're talking to? Castle says my mom. Slaughter says that's the cops, isn't it? Castle asks why your prints were on the knife? Slaughter says I gave it to Victor as a gift. The only way to clear my name is to find the real killer. I have a lot of enemies. What I need is a friend, Sherlock.

Espo and Ryan arrive. Castle says Slaughter insists he's innocent. Seemed like he was telling the truth. They tell Castle to stay away from him. They leave. Castle lets Slaughter out. You were right, they didn't give you the benefit of the doubt.

They go to find Trucco. Slaughter asks about Beckett. Castle says they're on a time out right now. What happened? I don't know. She says she needs time. Slaughter asks if he's looking for a rebound, he knows a girl. Castle says no thanks. And this time, we're working on my rules. Slaughter agrees, then manhandles Trucco. Oooops. Then asks Mr. Trucco about Victor Lee. I strongly recommend you tell us what we want to know. Please, sir, tell us the truth. LOL. Trucco says Victor and his partner never showed. Castle says maybe Victor got greedy and the partner killed him for it.

Ryan has video of Victor right before the burglary. With a partner. Espo says Slaughter was reassigned because of an accusation of pocketing money. Maybe he needs Castle to help him find the microchip.

Hayley is in Castle's office. Slaughter calls her hot. Castle says please ignore him. She looked into Booth Tower. Top of the line security. Need a genius to break in. Victor was a mentor of Louis Prince, a juvenile delinquent with an IQ of 190.

Talk to a guy about Louis. He needed a strong male mentor to look out for him. Victor was his last shot. The counselor suggests Slaughter become a mentor. Castle coughs, lol. Victor was the first person Louis trusted since his mother. Castle and Slaughter leave when they see Ryan and Espo coming. They ask about Louis.

Castle on the phone with Hayley. Then Ryan. You lied to us? Ooops. Castle says Slaughter didn't kill anyone. Ryan says Slaughter got demoted. We think he partnered with victor. Slaughter says you should be going after the kid. He tosses Castle's phone out the window. I lose more phones in this line of work......lol.

They get to Louis, and find a guy who runs. Slaughter grabs him. Castle asks Louis about Victor. Louis runs. Castle chases, and loses him. I don't think he did it. He's scared. It's not the face of a killer. Slaughter says we're all killers when push comes to shove. He interrogates the guy. He works for David Lacey. High end B and E's. Victor and the kid pulled off the job alone. Victor boasted about it around town. The kid invented a device that could open any lock. Ryan and Espo burst in. Arrest Slaughter. And take the second suspect. Castle says Slaughter and Louis both didn't kill Victor. Espo says he's not changing his mind. Castle takes their car with Slaughter in it.

Precinct. Ryan thinks everyone knows. We should call Beckett. We need to find Castle and Slaughter.

Slaughter brings Castle somewhere nice. His ex-wife's house. She's a mezzo-soprano with the Metropolitan Opera. We met in college. We had the same major. Musical Theater. And if you tell anyone, I'll force feed your spleen through your nose. Castle keeps imagining him doing jazz hands. LOL.

Ryan and Espo have to admit to Alexis and Hayley that Castle stole their car. LOL. Hayley says Louis didn't kill Victor, either. So David Lacey is our prime suspect.

Slaughter cooking. Castle's in shock. Slaughter says I do my best thinking cooking. Louis calls them. Victor said you'd look out for me. He hacked Slaughter's life and found them. Slaughter says tell us where you are, then hide. Castle spots a fumigation notice on the wall.

They go to the warehouse. Slaughter looks in a window. Victor is being interrogated. Castle says you don't have a gun! Slaughter says it's just one guy. He walks in and punches the guy. Louis points out all the guys behind them. Guess we should've called for back-up. You think?!

Castle snaps his fingers. Starts singing. Slaughter joins in. Fight scene! Police burst in. That all the guys you brought? All the bad guys are down.

Precinct. Slaughter and Louis sharing chips. Thanks for coming for me. Espo and Ryan walk in. Castle says Lacey's crew didn't kill Victor. Louis says Victor came to him with the idea for the theft. He didn't show up for the chip. Louis hands it over. When we were leaving the Tower, Victor deviated from the plan. Slaughter says that break-in was an advertisement for your invention. Castle says Victor was using you.

Booth arrives. A word in private? I'm a generous supporter of the NYPD. I want a favor. 50 million was taken from a private account of his. Do whatever it takes to recover it. They were kept in my office. The kid's a genius, right?

They talk to Louis. He says it wasn't me. Castle thinks he's telling the truth. Slaughter says he has a point. Did Victor? No. So, someone else broke into the building, too? Castle says maybe Victor saw something. Who else knew? Louis says Victor wedged the door open, but it was closed when we left. So that spooked Victor.

Castle says we're missing something, someone. Who knew about the heist and the secret account at the same time? Louis is being charged. Castle says the kid stood no chance. Ryan says the accounts were set up 5 years ago. Guess who worked at the accounting firm?

Mr. West, the counselor. Espo and Ryan say we know. You were Mr. Booth's accountant. You were fired for hitting on Mr. Booth's wife. You heard about Louis's invention, and convinced Victor to pull that heist. Took those bank codes. Mr. West says you're missing proof. Espo and Ryan have it. It's over, Mr. West. West says I panicked! I didn't mean to kill Victor!

Slaughter visits Louis in lock-up. Louis asks how much time am I looking at? Slaughter says maybe none. I'm going to personally see someone is looking out for you. Me. I'm going to get the DA to reduce your sentence to probation. Mr. Castle will help, or else. Some role model... You have a point. Guess we'll have to help each other. Sound good?

Castle is confused about Beckett. Slaughter says that lady has it bad for you. Whatever she's going through, she shouldn't have to go through it alone. Quit asking permission. I lost my wife because I didn't put my wife before myself. Don't make my mistake. Castle thanks him.

Next week - Anniversary. Kate goes undercover. And Castle tries to give her the perfect gift. But is she set on divorce?

Man in an office. He doesn't like what he saw. A half million dollars is missing! he tells another man. Someone is falsifying data. How? Get a forensic accountant in here right now. I'm going to call the police. Put together a list of everyone with access. The man says sir, I know who's responsible. It's right here. He wogues! And kills his boss bloodily. Nastily. Then spits out the blood. Calls a number. 911. They killed him! They killed my boss! Please come quick! He hangs up.

Adalind asleep with the baby. Nick in the chair. Rosalie arrives. He leaves the room. Hank and Monroe in the hall. He tells the gang Chavez is dead. She gave him Trubel's chess piece. Nick and the boys will go to the crime scene. Nick says she named the boy Kelly. Rosalie says that's a good name.

The warehouse. Nick says Chavez said we needed to be prepared for an Uprising. The bodies are gone. Including Chavez. Someone went to a lot of trouble to cover this up. Nick shows them Chavez's phone. He gives it to Wu. Nick says one of them got away. The truck was here. Even the claw symbol is painted over. Hank rubs it. Still wet. Wu says conspiracy, here? Hank wonders if we need to bring the Captain in on this? Nick says not until we figure it out. Meisner watches them leave.

Adalind wakes. Rosalie says it's okay, Kelly is in the nursery so you can sleep. Nick returns. He was just at the nursery. He tells Rosalie to go home. He'll walk her out. She says Adalind can go home tomorrow. She says we'll try to get things ready at your house in the morning. Thanks.

Hank tells the Captain Adalind had a boy. He gives Hank a new partner. Pope. Who says we just got a body. They head to the crime scene. Wu shows them the body. CEO of the company. Hank asks how many people were here? Just one besides the victim. They talk to the witness. He says he saw 2 men running from the office. They wore ski masks. One of them held a stick or weapon.... I went in the office and tried to stop the bleeding, but there was nothing I could do. I put my hands on his throat, and tried to give him mouth to mouth. I washed my hands, but the blood...... He called the assistant. I don't know who would do such a thing....I'm sorry. Betty knows more about his personal life than I do.

Hank doesn't buy the story.

They talk to Betty. She's worked there 17 years. She came right over after the call. We all got along so well here. Hank excuses himself to talk to Wu. Wu says no one else was on the security cameras. This has got to be Wesen.

Monroe putting together a baby mobile. Adalind and Nick arrive. She's amazed. Rosalie picked up some things, too. Kelly is in the baby carrier. Monroe says I have a bad feeling about this. About the house. Too much death and destruction. You might want to get the hell out of here. Rosalie says it's time to go home. But I can be here in 10 minutes. Adalind thanks them. They leave. She's going to rest. Where should I? Nick says guest room upstairs. He brings the baby up. Adalind hopes Diana is okay. Have you heard about Juliette? Nick says she'd dead. Trubel killed her to save my life. Adalind is sorry. Thank you for doing this. He leaves the room.

He goes in the master bedroom. The closet. Looks at a black dress of Juliette's. Hangs it up again. Closes the door.

Precinct. Hank thinks Wemlinger is guilty. We should bring him in. Sweat him a little.

Adalind comes downstairs. Kelly's sleeping. Nick offers a sandwich. She's allergic to tomatoes, but the rest is fine. He's thinking of selling the house. Finding some place safer. She eats and says it's really good. He asks if there's anything else she's allergic to? Just raw tomatoes. I can eat them cooked. Hank calls. Can you come down here in a half hour? Yeah.

Precinct. ME says the throat was torn out by an animal. Wu got prints. Simon Kincaid. Wanted for embezzling. Hank and partner talk to Wemlinger. Nick watches through the mirror. Wemlinger asked questions. Any money missing from the company? No. Isn't it your job to know? Do you know Simon Kincaid? You were stealing money. He found out and you killed him. And I know you're Wesen. He wogues. Wants a lawyer. Hank asks Nick if he wogued. Yeah. We know he did it, but can't prove it. Partner asks if I missed something. If you're going to bring in another guy, tell me. 2 US Marshals arrived and want our suspect. He's wanted in Sacramento. He's ours now.

Nick says they can't take him....we have to warn them. He tells the Marshals that the guy is dangerous. Wemlinger wogues at Nick. Marshals laugh off the warning.

Hank tells Sean that the suspect is Wesen. Marshals are taking him to CA. Nick wants to follow them. Sean tells Nick you want to lose your job? He'll call the Marshals' Office. Now go home and don't come back until you hear from me. Hank says this job is hard enough. It's even harder when you know what's going on and can't do a damn thing about it.

Rosalie visits Adalind. Kelly's been pretty good so far. Adalind is happy to be a mom again, but......Nick's been great....as long as it lasts. What happens when I turn back? The suppressant doesn't last forever. I don't want to be a Hexenbiest again. I can't do that to him or Nick, after what happened to Juliette. I don't want it in any way. I don't mean to scare you off. You're the only friend I have. Rosalind says I'm not scared at all. Adalind wants a normal life. Rosalie asks if Nick said what happened to Juliette? Yeah. Someone knocks. Rosalie goes to the door. FBI badges.

Marshals stop at a gas station. Wemlinger wants to use the bathroom. One Marshal takes him to it. Do what you gotta do. Cuffs on and door stays open. Wesen attacks him.

Other Marshal gets the call about the death threat and reinforcements. He checks the bathroom. Blood puddle. His partner is dead. Wesen attacks him, too. Blood seeps outside.

**FBI must be at Nick's house because Chavez is missing.

Precinct. Partner wants to find a murder weapon. Wu says Marshals just got hit.

Nick gets home after dark. FBI agents in the living room. Adalind and Rosalie go upstairs. Nick asks what's the problem? Agent Chvez is missing. What was your argument about? He says I thought she was investigating me. She interrogated me at the precinct in the past. Nick says he was at the hospital last night for the delivery of my son. Male agents says if you had anything to do with Chavez's disappearance, it's only a matter of time. The female agent congratulates him on the baby.

Hank and co look at the gas station. Hank sees the claw sign in blood on a mirror.

Adalind asks why the FBI were here? She starts freaking out. He says it'll be okay. She apologizes. I don't expect anything from you. I just don't want anything to happen to you. he gets a call. Hank. Marshals never got out of Portland. Hank says the marks were here. Texted you a photo. Nick says it's the same. So Wemlinger's involved? Nick says we find the money, we find Wemlinger. Nick will go meet him at the office.

Nick and Hank talk to the forensic accountant. Calls were made to a Portland number.
Wu says the calls were to the assistant. They go to her apartment. Nick hears something inside. Electric motors. LOT's of computers. Wemlinger takes the assistant hostage.

He takes her in the bedroom. Then escapes out the fire escape. She babbles that he made her help him. Hank and Nick and Wu chase after Wemlinger. Wemlinger attacks Hank. Nick intercedes. He gets away and runs again. Wu pulls up the car. Has to shoot Wemlinger.

She's erasing evidence on the computers. She says not even a Grimm can stop what's coming. Then jumps out the window to her death.

Monroe says she said Free the hidden, loosely translated. He and Rosalie don't know about the symbol. There are lots of Wesen symbols. Wu looks at the photo. What the hell does it mean? They all dig in the books.

Partner says it doesn't make sense. Why'd she jump out the window? Hank says she didn't have anything left to live for.

Home. House is for sale.

The Wesen prison. Meisner fought with someone.

Next week - Rosalie kidnapped!!

#TheOriginals episode 3.5 recap - "The Axeman's Letter"

"The Axeman's Letter"

KLAUS’ PAST COMES BACK TO HAUNT HIM — As the war among the sire lines continues to grow, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) receives an unexpected visit by a figure from his past. When Elijah (Daniel Gillies) suspects that Tristan (guest star Oliver Auckland) is hiding something, he enlists Marcel’s (Charles Michael Davis) help to find out what he’s up to. Elsewhere, Davina (Danielle Campbell) struggles with her role as Regent and seeks advice from Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin). Finally, an ancient secret that is uncovered threatens to tear the Mikaelson brothers apart for good. Leah Pipes and Yusuf Gatewood also star. Michael Allowitz directed the episode written by Michael Russo & Diane Ademu-John (#305).

Ep 5:

1002 AD. Happy Originals in a field. Klaus never meant to let Aurora in. I should not have kissed you. Not the first time. Certainly not the second. There's a light in you so bright, it makes me want to be the man I wish I was. You've seen what we do. We hunt, we feed, we kill. My family are the first. There is no name for it. I also desire, deeply, and I can't love as I love you.

It was the most beautiful letter Aurora ever received. But eventually our love crumbled to dust. Deliver this with my special instruction.

Klaus and Elijah come home to find a dead woman with a letter. A poem. Come find me before I find you. Klaus remembers her a better poet. Elijah says this isn't lacking in poetry. You should know. When Mother unleashed things, I saw something. Aurora was there. Klaus doesn't want a confession. Elijah says please, this is-- Klaus says let's kill her together and then you can put your mind at ease.

Cami and Vincent on the street. He tells her about the The Axeman. He wouldn't kill people in exchange for every person throwing a party. He was a witch. This party threw him the greatest party the world had ever seen. She says so it's the witch version of Christmas.... They spot Lucien.

Elijah and Klaus search.

Flashback. Klaus and Aurora in bed. She says I'm not fragile, you know. She wants to be like him. We'd no longer have to hide our love. We could be together with no boundaries. He says you are perfect just the way you are. Compliments her hair.

Elijah and Klaus find a perfume shop. Klaus walks in. Aurora is there. I knew you'd find me. Hello, my sweet love.

Davina with Hayley and Jackson. She says the covens have to pay tribute to me and I throw them a party. I have a feeling it might not go well. Hayley says so you want us to be your bodyguards. Davina says if I die, you turn into wolves. Jackson agrees. Hayley says I'll keep you alive, but if you wear that awful orange scarf, you'll wish I hadn't.

Aurora asks about Elijah. Klaus says he'd like to use your head as a footstool. She says I've never been with your brother, at least like that. She says the witch festival reminded her of the gift we gave each other.

Flashback. Klaus brings her flowers. She says my birthday is no occasion for joy. My mother died giving birth to me and it makes me cursed, broken, an abomination! He says you are not alone. There is a thing I have never told anyone. My family would never forgive me. I killed my mother. In a fit of rage. Twice she birthed me. She crippled me, then turned her back on me. So I killed her and I blamed my father, and we've been running until now. Until you. So you see, you're not as broken as me. Aurora says you and I are the same. You will hold me deepest shame and I will hold yours. Never again will they have power over us. She asks for a gift. he'd give her anything. She says then make me like you.

Klaus says I forgot about you. Is that why you're here? To remind me? She says I'm here to protect my sire. Where in the hell is Rebekah?

Elijah brings a heart in a jar to Tristan. Your assistant refused to accommodate me. Naughty little liar. Tristan says I don't know what you're talking about. Elijah says you do. Even as we speak, Klaus is with your sister. Wherever you go, Aurora follows. Tristan says she's in one of her dark periods. Are you afraid of what she'll say? She can't be here. I'm the first person she'd come to. Elijah says I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Cami and Vincent lose sight of Lucien. Then Cami's gone.

He drops her on the ground. I've been dying to get you alone.

Lucien picks up her phone. You hound me. Why is that? She says you aren't hard to read. He says on that, we disagree. He says how do we end this bit of theater? She says if you hurt me, Klaus won't react well. He says you have no idea what I'm capable of, but you're about to find out. He speeds off to kills a man. Cami holds him while he dies.

Klaus tells Aurora that Rebekah has moved on to greener pastures. Besides, she'd never trust you again.

Flashback. Rebekah heals Aurora. Why would you do this to yourself? Aurora says it's Tristan. He forbade me from seeing Klaus. My own mind is a demon that haunts me. You're not saddled with disease. You and your family are never ill. You heal. Rebekah says we have our own torments. Aurora isn't frightened. Rebekah says do we seem alive to you? We are cursed. Aurora says perhaps, but your curse is nothing like mine. Please go. I want to sleep. She lays down again. Rebekah leaves the room. Aurora gets up. Goes to the window. Stands on the edge. And falls.

The last thing I remember was the scent of the garden.

Davina getting gifts. Goats. Other livestock. She thanks the coven. She asks for a minute away. Hayley follows. Davina loves goats, but I've sacrificed so many. I know this is tradition, but it's not me. I thought if I was more like Josephine, they'd respect me. Hayley offers her a beer bottle. Says I wasn't okay with what you had me do, but you're not okay, either. Know what I've learned? No one respects you until you show them who you are. So if you're going to wear old lady scarves you'll get old lady goats.

Marcel and Elijah. Tristan is lying about working with someone. He wants Marcel to investigate. Marcel says lucky for you, I have this city wired. I'll have my people trail your boy.

Aurora says the scent of blood draws a carnivore. We liked what we did to each other.

Flashback. Aurora shows herself to Klaus. She kisses him, biting his lip. He kisses her back. Picks her up.

Aurora says do you know what that first time felt like, to be with someone just like yourself? Klaus says yes. She says look me in the eye and tell me you haven't thought about me. I've come because I'm here for you. For this. She kisses him. He kisses back.

Police scene. Vincent says I could've helped. You have to use something, something like me, against vampires. Cops can't stop them. Kinney asks Camille about the murder. Vincent got here when she was trying to save the guy. Kinney says to her, here you are, part of a crime scene.

Witches chanting on a doll. Jackson attacks them. Drags the kid away.

Klaus pins Aurora against a wall. She says the night you left, you didn't look back.

Flashback. Finn says word has spread. Rebekah says We need to flee.

Flashback. Klaus asks Aurora to go with him. She says I do not love you.I thought I did, but I find you're a cruel, wretched, pathetic thing. Unworthy of love, including mine. What hope is there for you if your mother turned against you? Klaus says you're breaking my heart. You swore you'd never speak of this. She says we are not alike and I could never lose you.

Present. Klaus says no one has talked to me like that since and lived. She says I was not the architect of your heartbreak. I saw your brother before I saw you.

Flashback. Elijah wouldn't let her come with them. Aurora says I know your brother's heart. He deepest thoughts. Elijah asks what did my brother say to you? SPEAK! He compelled her.

Present. Aurora says I spoke words I swore I'd never say.

Flashback. Elijah says Klaus does not deserve your love! Compels her to see Klaus as the monster he is.

Present. She says when you came to me, I could not say yes. I'd been compelled otherwise. I think it was the first time he used the ability. Klaus says so that's Elijah's secret. She says yes. This was his revenge.

Jackson takes the kid to Davina. Hands over the doll. It's a confession doll. She says your mother attacked me. She wanted a mutiny. How many people will die then? I've seen things, done things, the old way and it doesn't work. We can work together, we can change things. Kid leaves.

Elijah leaves a phone message for Klaus. Marcel says Tristan went in a place and never came out. Bootleggers used tunnels to go to a secret storehouse. That's owned by Lucien.

Klaus asks her WHY NOW? Aurora killed the prophetic witch. She showed me the clan destroyed, including my sire. So I poisoned her and will change the future I saw. The prophecy says you fall by friend, by foe, and by family. Have you thought of who that family might be?

Davina and Hayley. Happy Witch Day, or whatever this is. Davina thanks her. You were right. I've tried to control everyone and that's not me. I asked the Ancestors to give me the magic to lift your curse. They granted it. I'd rather have you as a friend. She gives Hayley the candle.

Cami shows Vincent the secret stash. Why didn't you tell me about it before? He says in the wrong hands, this stuff could destroy the city. Kinney walks in with a search warrant! OH NO. He says the only prints on the victim are yours. He arrests her.

Aurora says I'll leave you to think. Klaus grabs her. She says ask Elijah yourself. Then come find me. See who's really on your side.

Elijah says she told you. How convenient. Klaus says you speak to me of enemies when the greatest traitor of my life stands before me. They fight. Klaus says you set my course! Elijah says I protected you, protected our family! I alone have always stood by you. Klaus asks why, guilt? They toss each other around some more. Elijah says I've carried you for centuries, Niklaus. No more. You want to fight? So be it.

Next week - Freya asks what happened?

He asks how she's feeling? She says I'm starving.

Jo eating. She asks is the TV is art? No, that's a TV. Ric says it'll take time for your memories to come back. He says the Thai food is her favorite, except for the meat. He cuts his hand opening wine. She says it's not serious, if you have bandages I'll wrap it for you.

Caroline has one make-up exam down, two to go. On the phone with Stefan. He wants to go to dinner tonight. She'd love that. Feeling guilty for pushing you into the car. Stefan says don't, I needed a push. She asks if he's okay? He says yes. What time do I pick you up tonight? She replies and says she likes daisies. Valerie says Julian is dead. He's been dead since 1903. She has gas to burn the body.

Bonnie gets to the house. Enzo offers to exchange small talk before he throws her out. She says she needs to talk to Oscar. He says maybe another time. They hear the maid scream. Oscar snacking on her. Enzo heals her. Compels her to take a spa day and forget about Oscar. Oscar remembers Bonnie from the dark room in the basement. He's hungry. She asks him about The Phoenix Stone. Shows it to him. He says you got me out of there.

Oscar stashed Julian's body. Stefan and Valerie bicker. Damon breaks into the building. Turns the light on. Casket emporium. Clever. They search the coffins. She says Lily needs the Phoenix Stone to reunite Julian's soul with his body. She says the Phoenix Stone is stuffed with very old vampire souls. You jammed one of those souls into Oscar's body.

**Dun Dun dunnnnn. So, Oscar's not Oscar, and Jo wouldn't be Jo. Poor Ric.

Damon calls Bonnie. He says tell Ric that's not his wife. The Stone is a holding cell for lost vampire souls. She says she came to talk to Oscar about the phone. He says cut it short. Let Ric down gently. She says fine, but you owe me. He says thanks, Bon Bon.

She's about to leave. Enzo asks about the Stone. Lily has been looking for one just like it. Oscar charges Bonnie. I'm not going back! Enzo stops him. Oscar gets mad and realizes he has magic. Bonnie says run!

Ric asks Jo if she wants to take a walk? She asks what happened to me? This was mine, wasn't it? He says this was your wedding dress. She asks what happened? He says your brother had a long vendetta against you and I couldn't get you to the hospital in time. She says I was stabbed in the heart! Don't touch me. Stay away from me. She runs out.

Still looking in coffins. Stefan asks why Valerie put the spell on Caroline? She says I'm not a horrible person. He asks then what are you? He finds a coffin that won't open. She works on it. Opens it. Julian. His body has been preserved with magic. She pours gas on it. Lights it, and the flame doesn't work. Nora and Mary Louise blocking it. Lily, we found Valerie. Lily with the other male Heretic. UH OH.

Lily closes the coffin. Says she needs a minute with Valerie. You left Julian's ring in Oscar's pocket. Valerie says Julian is a monster. You were so blinded by your love for him, it's like no one else exists. She slaps Valerie. Stefan intercedes. Damon asks what are we missing? Who is this really? Lily says he's the love of my life. He makes me better, Damon. Know anything about that? Valerie pleads no. She's playing you! Julian made her cruel. Lily gave Kai the idea to put Elena in the coma. Damon attacks Lily. The male Heretic saves her and blasts all the coffins.

Bonnie and Enzo hide. She spells the door. She tells him to give her that Stone back. Enzo says Lily wants it for Julian. She says you're going to help Lily get her boyfriend back? Have some dignity. Enzo says he doesn't need her advice. She says maybe you deserve better. Oscar breaks in and asks where's the Stone? Bonnie says he has it, and leaves.

Stefan and Damon wake and get up. Stefan calls for Valerie. Stefan tries calming Damon down. We're not going to let Lily get away with it, I promise, but not now. Tell me you're fine and not going to do anything stupid. Damon says I'm fine. Stefan says good.

Oscar tosses Enzo. Enzo tosses the Stone, then stakes Oscar from behind. Oscar collapses. Enzo takes the stone back.

Stefan pulls all the wood out of Valerie. She says if I knew you'd hate me, I would've acted differently. He says I wanted the truth. She says I was coming back for you. Julian caught me trying to leave. I'd be a distraction. I was pregnant. I wanted to tell you in person. I wasn't sure if you'd....but Julian found out and made sure there was nothing to tell. He made sure it wasn't a problem anymore. I wouldn't be able to look you in the eye, so I left with them. I'm so sorry.

Enzo tells Lily that Oscar died 2 nights ago. He was brought back with the Stone. Why would Valerie throw away everything to prevent you from bringing Julian back? She says Valerie thinks I'm too blinded by love to see his flaws. Lily says if you're asking me to choose between you and Julian.....He says that's exactly what I'm asking. She caresses his face and says please understand. He gives her the Stone and leaves.

Bonnie sitting along with booze. She calls Ric. He says Jo freaked out. I could use your help looking for her. She says we made a mistake. It's not Jo. He says that's my wife. She says no, it's not her. Jo was never in that Stone. I'm so sorry. Where are you? I'm meeting with Damon and we can figure this out. He hangs up.

Finds Jo. She says nothing about this world makes sense. He says you're not my wife. She says I don't think I am. If I'm not Jo, who am I? Ric says I don't know, but you're not alone. I'll help you. We'll figure this out together, okay? He takes her hand.

Caroline asks Stefan how late he'll be. He says he's still in Mystic Falls. Sorry. Things got complicated. She says Bonnie told her. Stefan says I promise I'll make tonight up to you, okay? She asks if there's anything else she should know? He says no. I'll see you tomorrow. She says okay.

Stefan with Valerie. He's angry he didn't know. Sad that it was taken away from me. I want to kill Julian. And I'm sorry you had to go through this alone. Valerie says after it happened, I took my own life. I didn't know I had vampire blood in my system. Funny how one event can change the outcome of your entire life. She asks him to please not tell anyone. He says I would've wanted a child, yes. We have 5 guest rooms. You should stay the night. She says no, I need to run as far and as fast as I can. Stefan says I'll kill Julian myself.

Nora and May Louise chant on Julian.

Damon and Bonnie. Sure you want to do this? he says burning that bastard's body would've been too good for Lily. I want to give her that man. I want her to run into Julian's arms, taste true happiness.

Julian is awake. Lily asks is that you? He says her name. She hugs and kisses him.

Damon says and then I want to break her heart, her spirit. I want to destroy her. Tell me I'm not doing right by Elena. Bonnie says you're doing right by Elena. They toast.

Next week - Dinner party for Julian. Stefan and Damon attack him.

"Thin Lizzie"

JARED GERTNER GUEST STARS — Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate a series of murders at a local B&B that also happens to be Lizzie Borden’s old home.

Ep 5:

Fall River, Massachusetts. A creepy house. A young couple staying in a room that's supposed to have heavy paranormal action. He plays the record and the lights go out. The girl is a bit scared. The door opens. The guy goes to it. And nothing is there. There's a shadow with an ax behind the girl. Kills her. Then comes for the guy, who totally panicked.

Dean and Sam in MoL. Sam tells Dean about the ax murder. Lizzie Borden B&B and museum. It was Lizzie's actual house. She was acquitted of the murder, but hounded by the townspeople her whole life. Dean says this has something to do with your freaky fetish with serial killers! Sam says we don't have a lead on Amara, so..... Dean asks about Cas. Sam says he's binge-watching The Wire, so he's not surfacing for a long time.

They go to the B&B. Sam asks if this might've been Lizzie's ghost? Mason says those are answers for paying guests. Sam offers money. We'll take the room the couple was in. Mason says we're not renting that room right now. Dean hands over more money. Mason gives them the key. Sam asks if there was anything unusual that night. Mason says not until we heard the screams. The guy was a descendent of the Bordens.

The room. Dean thinks he might throw up over the decor. Sam's not giving up the room even though it's only one bed. He gets the EMF meter out. Checks the closet. Dean checks the bathroom. What is that smell? Sam sprays some perfume. Dean leaves the room, now he's got Grandma all over me. LOL. Sam comes out with the meter. Follows the signal. To a Staff Only door. It's locked. He picks it.

Dean in the office. Gift shop? Lights flicker. He climbs on a chair and taps a bulb. Someone takes a photo outside the window. Then runs off.

Sam in the attic. Finds a machine.

Comes back to the room. Homemade EMF generator. Dean says the lights were wired to timers. And a hole in the wall with a sound system. The whole place is a hoax, a tourist trap. Sam says we still don't know how that couple got axed. Dean wants to talk about it over dinner, away from the doilies.

Ax is missing. Owner, Mason's mother, is turning out the lights. She gets attacked and killed in her room.

Murder scene. Dean and Sam on the case. Sam talks to Mason.

Dean in the bedroom. He takes out an EMF meter. Nothing.

Detective says no one was here but Mason and his mother. Dean says he saw a guy taking photos that ran off. Det. says it's a harmless guy obsessed with ghosts. Went to high school with him.

Sam and Dean in the car. Phone call. Det. says there's been another victim. Miles from the B&B. They arrive. Babysitter found the body. Sam asks her about anything weird. She says nothing. Mom comes home. Sam asks if ---She tells him to get out of the house now.

Dean talking to the photographer. A superfan of Lizzie Borden. Dean asks what you were doing tonight at the B&B. He says he was trying to get a picture of Lizzie's ghost. He says he's seen Lizzie at the house, but she never shows up on film. He's not allowed at the inn anymore. There's a restraining order. Dean asks about it. Guy says he stayed in the basement....for a couple weeks. Dean asks if tonight was weird. No.

Detective and Sam. Sam is suspicious of the wife.

Dean still with the superfan. He finds a symbol. Where did you see this? A site about ghosts? Dean says you're lying. Tell me! He says he was outside the house a couple nights ago and saw a woman. Teen. Are you lost? Amara wants to see where Lizzie axed her folks. Poor Lizzie. I've been reading up on her. Her parents sucked. He agrees. She says Lizzie definitely hacked them. You can see it in her eyes. Superfan tells Dean he left after that. She had the symbol on her shoulder. Dean asks what she looked like. He says her name was Amara. Dean says she was 12? Around that. Why? Superfan says he needs to find her. Why? You won't believe me.

Amara grabbed him and fed on his soul.

I don't know what that girl did to me but I haven't been right since. I can't eat or sleep and all the things I used to love leave me cold. I've been playing the part of what I used to be. Dean asks so you were faking it tonight? He says no, I want Amara to put me back. I had a life, friends, but now.....I feel like I'm acting. Going through the motions like a robot puppet man.

Dean calls Sam and tells him about Amara. She's eating souls.

Sam gets to Dean. Dean says right now we have to deal with what we can deal with. Sam says we save people, remember? Dean wonders why Len hasn't killed anybody, yet. He wants Sam to tell him he has no soul. Sam says there's no sensitive way to tell somebody! Dean says fine. Sam says Amara might've gotten to someone else. He brings up the wife. Maybe Mom lost her soul and picked up an axe.

The house. Sam calls the babysitter. Do you know where Dawn is? Babysitter hesitates.....then says Dawn has a special friend. Len's rambling in the backseat. Dean is over it. Len says I feel weird, like something's hatching inside me that's dark with wings. Dean handcuffs Len to the car and tells him Amara sucked your soul out. Len asks how do I get it back? Sam says generally you don't. Len says it feels good to finally know.

Sam knocks on the house. Dean says something happened in there. Sam recognizes the wife's car. Dean breaks in. They creep around the house. Dean looks in the basement. Lights don't work. He turns on a flashlight. Finds 2 bodies. Then gets knocked out.

Sam hears something in a closet. It's the tied up boy. Babysitter pulls a shotgun on Sam!

Dean wakes. Babysitter is proud she bagged both of them. Sam asks what she's going to do? She says you're an offering to my new friend. Dean says Amara? babysitter says she got drunk a couple nights ago. Amara stopped her from driving. She likes dark places. Babysitter puts her coat on Amara. I'm Sydney. Amara says I'm going to help you. Takes Sydney's hand. Sydney laughs. How did you do that? I feel like ecstasy orgasm chocolate cake. you're an angel! Amara sucks Sydney's soul.

Sydney says being with Amara was like bliss. No memories. She says my folks treated me and my sister like human ash trays. Burn scars. No more waking up screaming from nightmares. Amara took away the pain. Dean says except you're an ax murderer. Sydney says I'm free now. When you can do whatever you want, you don't have to worry about being caught. She killed the people for revenge. And Jordie's parents were awful, too. I saved Jordie. Dean asks how are you bringing Amara here? Sydney says I've been praying and I know she can hear me. Dean says bring her out. We've been hunting that bitch for weeks. She hits him. Sam gets free. Sydney shoots, but Len stabbed her with the ax in the back. She says The Darkness is coming. It's peaceful. Coming for all of us.

Sam walks out of the house and sits with Jordie. Do you have family you can stay with? When I was 6 months old, my Mom died and my dad was never around much. That's not close to what you've lost, but you're going to survive this. Jordie says Aunt Cassie comes at Christmas.

Len says I ripped my hand out of the cuff. I picked up my thumb like a mini hotdog. My brain said I should help you, but I didn't feel for you or her. What kind of person can murder and feel nothing? Dean says if there's a shred of conscience, there might be hope. Len says no. I know there will be another kill. You can kill me. Dean doesn't want to. Len will turn himself in. Confess to all the murders so I can't get out. Dean is impressed. Len remembers what it was like to do the right things, so I'm going through the motions as long as I can.

Dean and Sam eating. Sam says it makes sense everyone has different reactions to losing their souls. I get a pit in my stomach when I think about The Darkness. What did you feel with Amara? Dean says it was quiet, until she started raising killers. Sam says so we follow the trail of bodies? Dean says she shouldn't be hard to find. They leave.

And out of the forest comes Amara, watching the Impala go. Bye, Dean. I'll see you soon.

Next week - We're going in to kill Amara?

SPN con in Pasadena Nov 13-15.

Ep 5:

Alley. Sara attacks 2 guys that went after an fast food girl. But then starts choking her, too. Police car comes up.

Thea thanks Alex for becoming the political strategist. Oliver is not excited. Alex says your past will come up in your first interview. Laurel Lance is part of your past. You should distance yourself from her.

Island. Boss shows Oliver the backpack. Oliver plays dumb. Conchlin takes him to the big boss. Who's been beating on Constantine!

The young woman is interviewed. Laurel asks her dad what happened. A blonde woman has been killing guys. Is Sara still at your place? Laurel says no. Sara is not a thing. He says people are dying. If I'd pulled that trigger, maybe they wouldn't be. She says she'll find Sara before he or Oliver does.

Curtis is an Olympic bronze medal decathlete. Whoa. She says there's something wrong with the recording. Curtis plays it. There's something overlapping the recording. She thanks him.

Lance visits Damian. Damian wants a favor. There's a federal server farm 30 miles outside the city. Plug this baby in for me.

Thea and Oliver sparring with kali sticks. Oliver says the strategist was a good call. My friendship with Laurel is complicated. Thea says we've all been friends forever. Pretending you don't know who your friends are doesn't feel united. Felicity calls in with the PA and tells them about the blonde woman attacking people again.

Sara's in a club. She tries to grab another woman that looks similar to Thea. Laurel tackles her. Sara gets loose. Oliver sees her. Thea, too. Sara runs away. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn.

Arrow cave. Oliver asks Laurel how is Sara alive? Did you 2 go to Nanda Parbat? Laurel says Sara's not herself. She's changed. He asks why didn't you come to me? She says for your judgment? He says you played with forces you don't understand.

Island. Constantine has a map. Introduces himself. He chants. Gets free. Points a gun on Oliver. On the floor. Takes Oliver as hostage. Oliver says he knows the place on the map. Good. Now drive.

Lance comes to the Cave. We need to talk. Oliver asks if he's okay? No. Lance shows him the device.

Felicity says it's heavily encrypted. Oliver sends Lance to Diggle. Lance explains how Damian offered to fix the city. And then he's doing good stuff. And then people start dying. He threatened me with pictures of Laurel in all aspects of her life. Diggle agrees to work with him, to take down HIVE.

Felicity says Sara has only killed bad guys. She tells Oliver she received a message from Ray from the moment before he died. Isn't it nice to not deal with the pain of saying goodbye? Oliver says he misses his parents, Tommy....but what's happening with Sara isn't healing anyone's pain. She almost killed those 2 girls. Why? Felicity brings up the photos of the girls and they figure out they look like Thea.

Thea doesn't pick up her phone. Sara finds Thea and attacks her. They struggle in Laurel's apartment. Sara keeps trying to strangle her. Thea gets away and staggers into the hall and the stairwell. She falls. Scrambles to her feet and keeps running. Hides. Sara runs out, frustrated that she lost her.

**20 minutes in.

Thea's in the hospital. Thea says Sara tried to kill me. This is the Pit. She's going through the same thing I am. When I went to Nanda Parbat, I killed 2 guys. Malcolm served them up to me. Laurel arrives. Oliver says Laurel, come with me. She asks if Thea is okay. He says no. She has Merlyn influencing her to kill people! Laurel says why didn't you tell me you took Thea to Nanda Parbat? It's the hypocrisy I can't stand. Why didn't you tell me about Thea 7 months ago? Because you don't see me as an equal. You never have! My sister is out of her mind right now because of my decision. Did you ever stop and think about what I'm going through? I'm sorry about Thea. I love your family. I always have. I just wish sometimes you'd give a damn about mine.

Island. Constantine and Oliver stop the jeep. Constantine says there are bad things on this island that people shouldn't have access to. He plucks some plants. Then chants. And reveals a hatch in the ground. Constantine tells him to go down the hole.

Diggle and Lance in the FBI building. Lance plugs in. The virus is erasing files on people. But who?

Laurel sits with Thea. I owe you an apology. Thea says no, you don't. Laurel says yes I do. Thea says I killed Sara in the first place. That's why she's after me. It's the same pain I feel when I think about Ra's. The one who killed me is already dead. If Sara kills me, she might be okay. Laurel says that's no cure at all.

Diggle sees his brother's name. Alarm goes off. Lance says we don't have time! He knocks out Diggle when he won't leave. Then tells the guards he's police and tracked the hacker here. Diggle gets up and they leave.

Sara finds Thea again.

Oliver and Laurel in the hall.

Thea tells Sara I know why you're here. I want you to know that it's okay. I want you to do it. Sara speaks Arabic again, and attacks Thea. Oliver rushes in. Sara jumps out the window.

Arrow Cave. Thea's brought in. Oliver says Sara's not in herself. Laurel says the Pit didn't restore her soul. Oliver says Sara knew exactly where to find Thea. Thea says maybe we have a connection. Oliver doesn't want to use her as bait. She says good thing you're not in charge, then.

Island. Constantine tells Oliver about nexuses. He restrains Oliver. Then goes in to get the artifact. He pulls the dagger out of the stone. Oliver saves him from a booby trap.

Lance tells Damian that mission is accomplished. Lance asks about the names. Sgt. Andrew Diggle. Why are you erasing the record of a dead man? Damian says we hired an assassin to murder Sgt. Diggle. Afghanistan was a perfect place for opportunities, but our organization was moving into that area. As you know... We don't play well with others. What, is this guy your best buddy? I don't see you associating with crime lords, present company excepted. Now go.

Thea is bait in the factory. Sara bursts in. The others get Thea out while Oliver and Laurel fight with Sara. Laurel is going to shoot Sara. Oliver tranqs Sara. Laurel says Sara has no soul. He says we'll get it back.

He calls John Constantine. Remember that favor you owe me? How quickly can you get to Star City? I need your help.

Constantine is going to restore Sara's soul. He did it once, around a year ago. Hands over a list to Felicity. Oliver pulls him aside. Then Oliver carries Sara to the sidgil. Lance arrives. Diggle asks what if something goes wrong? Constantine says we'll be too dead to care. Felicity got him the list of ingredients. Constantine says there's only juice for himself and 2 others. Oliver asks Laurel if she trusts him. Trust me that this will work. Constantine says we have to fight whatever's holding Sara's soul. He chants. Sara gasps. The building shakes. Sara's in pain. Laurel screams.

Appear in Nanda Parbat. They hear a cry for help and Laurel runs to it. And they're right where they started. Constantine says we need a tour guide. He chants over his lighter. It spins and floats, then points. This way. Oliver takes out two assassins. Laurel grabs Sara's hand at The Pit. Constantine says it'll take 2 of you. Oliver goes to them. John grabs a sword to fight the other guy. Chants at it. Then stabs it. Laurel and Oliver pull Sara up.

Oliver thanks John. And offers his help. Constantine says the hair on the back of his neck has been standing up in town. Watch yourself around Damian Darhk. Leave town while you still can.

Thea thought Constantine was yummy. Oliver is disgusted, lol. He apologizes to her for making her feel like she had to keep her struggles from him.

Island. Constantine had retrieved an ancient spellbook. Remember what I told you about this Island, mate. These people aren't here for narcotics. But you can come with me. Oliver says he can't leave, yet. And can't come back empty handed. Constantine breaks the jewel off the staff. Then he chants. Lift up your shirt, mate. He puts a tattoo on Oliver. When the time comes, you'll know how to use it. Oliver says I need you to punch me in the face. Constantine wails on him with a right hook.

Oliver ready for his interview. Alex isn't happy Laurel's there, but says it's your campaign. You pay me whether you win or lose. Laurel says Sara is resting. Ollie, I don't know how to thank you. He says just like that. She says thank you for inviting me tonight. Oliver says you were right, I haven't always been the greatest friend to you. But I'm ready to start fresh. They hug.

Lance comes to Diggle. I owed you something. I asked Darhk about your brother. A file. You don't have to read this. You can remember your brother how you knew him. Diggle takes it and opens it. Are you sure about this? Lance says it's legit. I'm very sorry. Diggle thanks him. Lance says a gut punch doesn't deserve a thank you. Diggle says I wanted to know why, and now I do.

Curtis has drunk a LOT of energy drinks. Felicity and Curtis listen to the recording again. Ray says I'm alive and I'm in trouble.

Next week - Ray Palmer search. He's being held captive by Damian.

Ep 6:

Hospital. May. Andrew is brought in to SHIELD. She's told he's alive. She asks him what happened. Andrew says one of my students was at the store, had 2 men with him. Professionals. Coulson says it was Hydra. May, this isn't your fault. A SHIELD agent tailed Andrew and saved his life. Kid had a lighter. I barely made it to the door. The blast threw me clear. Then you were there, picking me up. Alex was trouble. Ward would've made him finish the job. Coulson says you're safe now.

Hunter wants to see Andrew. May says no. Coulson breaks them up. You're off that assignment. May says let me go after him. He asks if she's back. Yeah, I'm back.

Hydra. Ward tells his second that you were sloppy. Now Von Strucker is a dangling thread. They don't know where he is. Let's find him before SHIELD does.

Coulson finds Daisy. She's pissed. But, good news. I have a theory. Lash was tracking us. I think he's in the ACTU. What if he's hiding out as one of them? Coulson will see Rosalind today. He says stay off her radar. I need her to trust me today. She asks if he's getting attached. He says no. She asks if May is really back. He says she's out for blood, so at least for now.

Bobbi finds May and May attacks her. Bobbi defends herself. May grabs a staff. Bobbi gets the upper hand. So you can fight your own battles. Had to make sure you're mission ready. Wheels up in 20. Welcome back, Agent Morse.

May and Bobbi ready to leave. Hunter shows up. May says stay away. He asks for a minute with his ex-wife. He says I'm going with you. She says hell no. She says she's ready. He asks if she's lying. She says no. He says do better than I did, yeah?

Plane leaves. May says Alexander Braun is Werner Von Strucker. We find the kid, he'll lead us to Ward. One Hydra account just woke up. Kid is on the run from everyone.

Werner went to a friend of his father's. You were nicer to me than my father. You don't know this guy Ward. he's scary. Will you help me? Man says I'll handle everything.

Coulson with Rosalind. She gets a call. She tells them to get started. Tells her driver we need to head back. Sorry, there's an emergency I need to handle. We'll reschedule. Car stops. He says I'll stay with you. She says you can't. He says so we're not sharing information? She says okay and tells the driver to take her home.

Fitz and Hunter. Hunter says you don't help the competition. Fitz says he kept Simmons alive. I owe him. Why are you in here? Hunter says Coulson benched me. Fitz is making IDs for Bobbi and May.

Daisy finds Andrew walking the halls. She talks to him about Lash. Why am I okay? He kills Inhumans. Why spare me? Andrew says that's a tough one. She says Lash is really different. he changed into a regular guy. He's got to get around without being noticed somehow. Andrew asks about Lincoln. She says he's been off the grid. Mack suggests Luther Banks might be Lash. Hunter offers to drive. Please?

Grand Cayman Islands. Bobbi and May getting through security. Bobbi representing a Chinese-speaking May. They look at a safe deposit box. Bobbi puts a device in it and puts it back. All the locks are blown. May says Box 38. Bobbi asks Fitz for help. He says you triggered an alarm. Security arrives. May says "We're screwed" in Chinese.

Bobbi appeals to the management. We'd like to offer you a job. We were sent by your former employer and we'd like you back. May wants to do it her way, and attacks a guard. Oh well.

Hunter with Mack and Daisy. Banks was discharged from the Marines with cause. Hunter wonders what they do when he shows up. Mack says how about some professionalism? Daisy says Andrew almost died. She sees Banks get in his car. Follow him at a SAFE distance.

Rosalind had a break-in at her home. Police say the perp was scared off by the security system. Coulson looks around the living room. Brand new furniture. A signed bat. He asks if anything is missing? She says you're slipping, Phil.

Hunter stops the van after Banks. Banks is on the phone. Mack asks what's our next move? Daisy says we can't tip off the ACTU. Hunter went straight to Banks and shot him! Sounded like with an icer. Oh boy....... Mack says so much for stealthy.

**Hunter's really off the rails. He's capable of better than this.

Hunter drags Banks into the truck. Daisy says Rosalind will find out! Hunter says test his blood for markers and we'll know if he's Inhuman or not. Mack says we don't have equipment to draw his blood. Hunter punches Banks.

Simmons and Andrew. Her phone buzzes. Daisy calls her to help. Simmons says I can handle it. Daisy sends the info. Thank you, Jemma. Banks's phone is boring. There's a message from a place. They leave Banks in his car and leave.

Rosalind had her driver pick up burgers. Coulson says all the valuables are still here. Unusual. He suggests a staged break-in could garner sympathy. He asks if all this stuff is really yours? The bat is a nice touch. And burgers from my favorite place. What possible reason would the head of the ACTU have for keeping me here with that? She throws away the food and says let's go see the facility.

Fitz analyzed the passports. He found Werner in Lisbon. May asks Bobbi to talk about what happened at the bank. Bobbi says there's nothing to talk about. May says if you're hesitating. Why are you keeping yourself locked up? Bobbi says what Ward did.... May says it can make you stronger. Let it. Next time, talking might not be an option.

Ward gets a call. What can I do for you? Man says the correct question is what I can offer you. The answer is redemption. Ward says you don't even know the game I'm playing. Man says you burned that asset. I know where you can find him. Ward asks why? Man says sometimes you sacrifice a player to save the game.

Mack and team outside the place. Daisy sends a drone to it. Phone. Simmons says Banks is not Inhuman. Daisy says thanks.

Simmons asks Fitz if they can look at the sim. He hesitates. Then says he's run dozens of sims and kept hoping one would work. The monolith was just one option, though. We won't give up, okay? She says I know this is odd and not easy for you. If you knew Will...He says I will know him. It's not even a question. She leaves. Fitz has been looking into Will's record.

Hunter says Banks is still shifty. Daisy wonders what the delivery is supposed to be. Mack says won't they see the drone? She cloaks it. They see a big crate. There's a person in a box. This is ACTU. This is where they store Inhumans. She then sees Coulson with Rosalind. "Oh."

Daisy and team watching. She asks why Coulson isn't freaking out? No way we're working with ACTU now. Mack tells her to get the drone back.

Coulson and Rosalind. She says this keeps them in stasis. She didn't want to show him because she knows how it looks. This thing is like an illness and we're close to a war. So close, we can tell those people they can go home. They're safe. He says you lost someone. I'm an idiot for not seeing it. A big baseball fan, I'm guessing. She says my husband. He was a cardiologist, a good man, and cancer sucks. She would;ve given anything to do this for him. Coulson didn't expect-- She says what, that I'm human? He says not all of us are. She says I am and you are, too. She says you said you though I wanted you to like me. That might be a little true. Maybe.

Werner being tortured. May and Bobbi burst in. Werner is stabbed. Bobbi fights the Hydra men on the deck. Including Ward's second. He's winning. May defeats hers and asks Werner where do I find Ward?

Bobbi is held down in the pool. She struggles for her stick and hits him. Climbs out of the water, and electrocutes him in it.

Werner says I tried to do what Ward wanted. We had Professor Garner. But I didn't know he changed into that thing. She asks what happened? Werner saw Andrew change into Lash! Andrew changes back, picks up the lighter, lights it, and drops it. May says that's not true. Werner says what did I see? May doesn't know.

**I knew it! I knew he'd be Lash!

Daisy back in base. Talking to Lincoln on the phone. She'll stop making fun of him when he tells her where he is. She asks if you have friends out there? He says not many. How long until the call is traced? 15 seconds. They hang up. Andrew asks if that's Lincoln. She says nope. Did Lincoln tell you where he is? She says nope.

Next week - Andrew......how long can he contain his secret?

Nick comes home. Sits at the table. Sees his mother's head in the box floating in the air. Now it's coffins and boxes filling the house.
Nick wakes up on the floor. Phone rings. He remembers that Trubel was grabbed and looks for her. Phone ringing. It's Hank. Checking in on you. Where are you? Nick says at home. Juliette's dead. They took Trubel. Hank is on his way. The body is gone.

Rosalie and Monroe. Couldn't sleep last night. Rosalie was thinking about Adalind's baby. Nick calls. When did you last see Trubel? Juliette's dead, they grabbed Trubel, they took my mom's head.

Nick looks in the bedrooms. He's freaking out. Remembers Agent Chavez. Hank arrives. He tells him that Juliette is dead because she was going to kill me and Trubel shot her. Pros came in and they drugged me and took everything, even the crossbow. Chavez is the only thing that makes sense. They wanted Trubel as a Grimm to help them. They must've been tracking her. Hank says slow down. Nick wants to go after her. Hank says you'd be going after an FBI agent! Nick says she's Wesen, I'm taking her down.

New opening sequence.

Detectives say they have the Ripper. Captain asks what happened to the guy? They says a lawyer from Oslo is already requesting the body. Captain says good work.

Nick driving and almost crashing. He's NOT focused.

Wu and Hank go in the Captain's office. He's on the phone with the mayor. Hank says Nick has gone off the deep end. He thinks Chavez took Trubel. Trubel killed Juliette at Nick's house. And then Chavez took Trubel, the body, and Nick's mother's head. And nick was drugged. Nick is convinced. He's going to take her down. His words, not mind.

Chavez in the office. Det. Burkhart says he needs to see you. Send him up.

Wu says 2 bodies were found across the street from Nick's house. Captain says find Nick.

Chavez lets Nick in her office. He demands she tell where Trubel is. You took her! You took Juliette's body and my mother's head. Where are they? You're Wesen and I know it. Tell me where she is! She has Nick dragged out of her office.

Wu says he talked to the coroner. No bodies, or a head. Hank says another body was found across from Nick's. Nick calls. Chavez knows. I had a little chat. Hank says you have to come in. 3 of your neighbors were killed last night. Nick says okay.

Captain gets a call from Chavez. She says your detective made a lot of accusations. His behavior was unbalanced and threatening. If this happens again, he'll find himself in jail. Renard says he'll make sure it doesn't happen again. She says good and hangs up.

Nick gets to the precinct. Who was killed? Hank says no names, yet. Captain calls Nick into the office. What the hell were you thinking? You'll get arrested if you don't stop! Sean says you have to take some time. This is not a suggestion. If you don't, I will suspend you. Don't go near her again, or you'll be facing a lot more than a suspension. Hank chases after Nick. Nick thinks no one believes him. Wu asks now what? Hank says we need help.

Rosalie and Monroe at the shop. She's freaking out. Monroe says we're only getting part of the story. Take all this with a long grain of salt. She says Nick wouldn't say Juliette is dead if she wasn't. Who took her body?! Monroe says maybe who killed her. Rosalie says this doesn't make sense. Hank calls. Hank says Wu and I are coming over.

Nick looking up Chavez's address. Then he hears something. Juliette's voice. He races upstairs. It's empty. He starts crying. He says I can't do this.

Monroe and crew in the basement. Hank says Nick isn't answering. Rosalie says this is horrible. Monroe says better Juliette than Nick. Rosalie says this wasn't Juliette's fault! We were all a part of what happened to her. She doesn't get all the blame. Hank says it's a bad deal all around. Rosalie says this feels so final. Wu found stuff on Chavez. An address. Hank will head over. Monroe says no, I'll go. Hank says how do we find this secret agency? Rosalie says maybe the Wesen Council knows. But Chavez is the only name we've got. Wu says then we keep digging.

Chavez down in an underground prison. Of Wesen. Any changes? Not for the better. She says we're playing with fire. Was that Meisner???

Nick gets to the address. Rolls by. Parks around the corner. Monroe parks at the same time. Nick says I don't need help. Monroe asks what are you going to do? We've been through a lot together and I don't want to see you do something without me when you need me. Nick appreciates that, but you can't be here. Get out of here! He goes on to the house.

Bud serving breakfast to Adalind. He says Nick really tried. And you're not just eating for one. She says the baby.....it feels uncomfortable. Like he's starting to....OMG, he's coming! Hospital, car, now!

Wu still looking into Chavez. Monroe comes back. Whatever Nick is doing, he's doing on his own.

Chavez comes home. Goes inside. Nick attacks her and they fight. I know you're Wesen. I'm a Grimm. She wogues. He knocks her out.

Chavez's parents were in diplomatic service. They were killed in Beirut. Phone rings. She picks it up. It's Nick. He's here. Back door. She lets him in, with Chavez! Nick says she's a Wesen like Trubel said. Who are you working for? You tried to recruit Trubel. You threatened her. If you were looking for a Grimm, it's me. Monroe and Rosalie wogue. You're not going anywhere until we get the truth. Chavez says my life doesn't matter. There's too much at stake. Bud calls Nick.

They're in the hospital. Adalind's in labor. We're at St. Joe's. Hurry up! Rosalie says you gotta go. Monroe says don't worry about her, she's not going anywhere. Chavez says you all know he's a Grimm? Wu says we do, and we don't like secrets much. Hank says he doesn't think Nick is over the edge anymore.

Hospital. Rosalie and Nick get to Bud. Her water broke on the sidewalk! Nurse asks Nick if he's going in to Delivery? Rosalie says of course. She'll go with him. You okay? Nick says it's happening very fast. Rosalie says the child will need you. The kid comes first. You're going be a dad. it's pretty special. Monroe and I will be there for you as much as can. Adalind pushing. She grabs Nick. Baby's heart rate dropping. They get Adalind on her side. They have to do a C-section. They move her to an OR.

Hank talking to Chavez. Her phone buzzing. She says if I don't answer, someone will start looking for me and it won't be the FBI. Hank says if I don't like what you say, no one will ever find you. She says I need to send my thumbprint so they know it's me. Monroe says how do we know she didn't send a distress signal? Chavez says someone has to start trusting someone. She tells the person on the phone that Nick is a Grimm and she wants to bring him in tonight.

Nick and Rosalie waiting. Hank calls him. Chavez wants to talk to you. She says this is your one chance for answers. Come alone. 20 minutes. After that, it'll be too late. Rosalie says go, I'll stay.

Monroe and Wu tell Nick they're not sure about this. Nick takes Chavez. Wu says we're just going to do nothing? Hank says for a couple hours, yeah. That's as long as my trust lasts.

They arrive at an industrial building. Nick asks who's in there? She says we're never all together in the same place. Things are happening. You have to be prepared for what's coming. I can't tell you any more. They walk into the building. It's empty, at first. Dead bodies! Their throats ripped out. Nick hears an attack. They fight multiple assailants. Nick kills one with re-bar. Then saves Chavez. Remaining bad guys get away in a truck. A claw mark symbol is left on the building. Chavez is hurt. She says you can't be tied to this. He asks where's Trubel? She says they're rising everywhere. Gives him a chess piece. And dies. Phone buzzes. Nick answers it. She's dead. Who is this? Who is this? Meisner says keep the phone.

Rosalie says the baby is alright. Adalind is exhausted, but okay. Nick says i can go in there, right? Yeah. He finds Adalind holding the baby boy. You okay? She says I don't know. I wasn't sure you'd want to be here. Maybe you don't. But at least you are here. Don't hate me anymore, Nick. We can't be like we were. I don't want to raise him by myself. He's as much you as he is me. Well, maybe he won't be like either one of us. She asks if you want to hold him? He won't break. Nick takes the baby. She thought of a name. Kelly. Nick says okay.

Claw mark on the city! That was startling.

Next week - War is coming. The Uprising has begun.
