'Grimm' Season 6 Episode 8 Recap: Eve is Attacked in 'The Son Also Rises'

S. Turla

In "The Son Also Rises," Eve/Juliette continues to feel out of place in Nick Burkhardt and Adalind Schade's house. "The Son Also Rises" is the eighth episode of "Grimm" Season 6.

According to Entertainment Weekly, "Grimm" Season 6 Episode 8 begins with Team Grimm trying to figure out the meaning of "Eve's tunnel carving/ calendar." Monroe suggests that it "could mean a plague, a rain of frogs, locusts... or something even weirder."

Meanwhile, Rosalee seems to sense Eve's unease and offers the latter a bed at their house. Eve declines, and she instead asks if she can stay at the spice shop instead. Left alone at the spice shop, Eve has an identity crisis. She even asks herself, "Who were you? Who are you now?"

Eve then notices a demonic face with glowing red eyes from Nick's bathroom mirror, which she destroys. The mirror is destroyed, but the broken mirror magically repairs itself. Eve is surprised, then an arm inexplicably grabs her. She woges and bites the arm, which goes away after it throws Eve against a bookshelf. Eve loses consciousness, and Monroe and Rosalee find her the next day.

Nick, Hank Griffin, and Drew Wu are at Merriweather University to investigate the murder of Dr. Deidre Hampton. Monroe and Rosalee call Nick to let him know that Eve is hurt, and he rushes to the hospital to see her. But he calls her "Juliette," and both Hank and Wu react to this. Could he still have feelings for Juliette?

At the hospital, Nick asks what happened. He then tells Monroe and Rosalee about the broken mirror. Back to Hank and Wu, who are talking to the last person who talked to Deidre on the phone, her colleague Sanji Raju. Sanji tells the two that they only talked about work. But the call only lasted 30 seconds, which makes Sanji's excuse not that believable.

Hank tells the others that "Deirdre worked with stem cells, Sanji does regenerative tissue, and the two other members of their team are Julian Levy and Victor Shelley." Get it? Victor (Frankenstein) and (Mary) Shelley? The next scene shows a young man with facial scars who woges when he sees his face on a "missing" poster.

Harold Melville, the director of a funeral home, is then introduced. He cremates the bodies of unclaimed criminals from Portland PD, and he admits that he willingly sold bodies to a man who offered to pay him a large amount of money for them. The man is revealed to be Dr. Levy.

Levy and Sanji are then shown frantically destroying files and talking about the deletion of an "incriminating video." As Levy leaves, the woged man with scars shows up in the room Sanji is still in. As Hank and Wu discover, Sanji previously wrote about how "every part of the human body should be transplantable."

Levy admits to purchasing corpses from Shelley, but he doesn't seem to know about the wesen. The police then find a video of Victor's son being operated on. The poor boy now has "new arms and legs" and Deidre, Levy, and Sanji revive him. Deidre is then shown saying that they need to "destroy the creature."

The creature then finds his father Victor, Hank, Wu, Levy, and Sanji. Victor apologizes for bringing his son back to life the way the scientists did and shoots the latter. He is about to kill himself when Hank stops him.

At the hospital, Nick has flashbacks involving Juliette: Aunt Marie telling Nick to break up with Juliette, Nick admitting he is a Grim, Kelly's severed head in a box, Nick finding out Juliette killed Kelly, Trubel killing Juliette, and Juliette's death.

Eve wakes up with Nick asleep in a chair by her side. She tells him what happened, and Nick is concerned about the creature from the mirror. Eve ominously tells him that "she feels like something's starting, and whatever it is," she doesn't think they "have a lot of time left before it gets here."

The episode posed some questions, such as "[w]ho or what might have triggered Eve's potential regeneration to her former witch self," per Den of Geek. The review from Den of Geek also posited that the "Grimm" Season 6 finale could feature a flash-forward like other shows that are ending usually do.
