Oh Rapunzel...

It seems to me that Grimm is taking these fables and only using the concept lightly, instead of literally as in Once Upon a Time does. This was the concept of Rapunzel, yet twisted. When I looked up the story I found that the husband of a pregnant woman was trying to get her what she craved out of a witch's garden. He got caught and in return for his life, he offered up his first born. The witch locked her in a tower where her hair grew and grew, and finally a prince came to save her. I guess a pot growing garden is the same thought here? Read on.

It starts off with two campers who get held hostage for accidentally walking onto the site of a marijuana growing field. As they are tied down, we see a very long braid and hear a snap of a neck. The campers break free. We find that this braid has strangled the drug dealer and left him for dead. In come Nick and Hank as they find pieces of this braid on the victim.

Nick comes back in to investigate and sees this girl with the super long ponytail, but sees her morph into a bluebot. Being that he is besties with a bluebot, he goes straight to Monroe's house and interrupts him yet again. He asks him if he will go with him to find her and set her straight. They go into the forest and find her hideout up above a tree. She is sick however and starts to snarl. Monroe calms her down as he morphs into wolf face with red eyes. Nick realizes he has seen this girl before and thinks she is the long lost missing Holly. A child that went missing about 14 years ago. This was a case that Hank was personally on.

The pot growers brothers however are looking for who did this. They go and kidnap the camper thinking its him and torture and kill him. They also go into the forest to try and find the thing/girl that killed their brother. They end up dying, one by a shot from Nick and the other by the braided wolf. She is sick however and needs to be taken to a hospital. They finally take her to get her fixed up and Hank gets to tell her mother she has found her daughter. Such a touching moment.

They also decide to reinvestigate old subjects since the case has opened up again. There was camping equipment borrowed when they used to go to those woods from a neighbor. When they go to see him, he tells them he was bit by a dog (aka wolf aka Holly) in the forest. We actually discover that he kidnapped her, she didn't understand she was a bluebot, so she bit him and he ran away as she hid out in the forest because she was so scare all of those years. She does a lineup in the end and they arrest the neighbor.

All in all, a pretty good episode. Nothing mind blowing though. I am hoping to see more from this show, because I know they can go there. Very buff-esque, right?
