Detective Nick Burkhardt (David
Guintoli) had his hands full with a particularly nasty critter on this week’s
episode, Mr. Sandman. To fight this monster Nick will need the help of his
friends, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Monroe’s girlfriend Rosalee (Bree
Turner) and Nick’s partner, Hank (Russell Hornsby.
Fly Man
The story begins with a very
handsome man, Andre (Kierea Hutchinson) who’s originally from South Africa who
drives his red and white 1959 Cadillac (I just love this car) to a grief
center.
He joins the group and later offers to drive a woman, who is grieving
over the death of her brother, home. But it’s not because he’s a nice guy, no
way, my little Scooby Snack; he’s a giant fly called a Jinnamuru Xunte. What he
needs from this woman is her tears and when she begins to cry about her
brother’s death, Andre goes to work. He blows a reddish mist into her eyes,
which causes extreme pain and then he uses his long sticky fly tongue (double
yuck) to lick her eyes, causing the woman to go blind. In her panic, she
accidently pulls a heavy bookcase down on herself and dies.
River Blindness
When Nick, Hank and Sgt. Wu go to
investigate, they have no idea what they’re dealing with until a second woman,
Molly (Megan Henning) is attacked and this time the medical examiner, Dr.
Harper (Sharon Sachs) is able to compare the results on both victims. They have
red blood worms in their eyes due to an infestation that you can only get in
Africa, river blindness, but neither the dead woman or the second victim were
ever in Africa. Luckily for Nick, the second woman was saved by her sister
Casey (Jenny Wade) who gave a good description of the man and the car that he
was driving. Nick heads to his trailer with Monroe and Hank and they look
through all the monster books until they find a picture of Fly Man.
Juliette and Rosalee
Juliette not only has to deal with
the mother of all sink holes, but now she’s seeing ghosts. She goes to the
Spice Shop to ask for Rosalee’s help. Rosalee goes home with Juliette, but
doesn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Are these visions due to the magic
potion that Juliette and Renard had to drink to break the curse?
Nick
Fly Man, to avoid capture, sprays
Nick with the red mist, but before he can lick Nick’s eyes, Hank and Sgt. Wu
come to the rescue. Nick is blind and time is short so Monroe and Hank take
Nick back to the Spice Shop where Rosalee tries to find a cure. Guess what the
cure is? They have to dig out one of the Fly Man’s eyes and make a paste to
apply to Nick’s eyes. Are you grossed out yet? I am!
To make a long story short, they follow
Fly Man back to Molly and Casey’s house where Fly Man is waiting to attack the
sister. Things go from bad to worse for Fly Man. Rosalee makes the past to save
Nick’s eyesight and Casey gets revenge for her sister.
Conclusion
This show was really good this week,
especially with the three different story lines. Three, you ask? Oh, yeah, we
learn that Adalind is definitely pregnant, but she’s not sure who the father
is. It could be Renard’s or his half-brother’s baby. Tune in next week to find
out who the new monster of the week is. Grimm can be seen on Friday nights at 9
p.m. on NBC.
