With this season of “Grimm” on a roll, thanks to bringing Hank into the Scooby Gang finally, it’s time to slide into a bit more conventional material. In this case, that means a plague that strikes the Wesen in particularly nasty form. Granted, it has some initial side effects that any fan of our favorite Fuchsbau can appreciate, but it’s a nasty piece of work, regardless.
With the series dangerously close to hitting the dreaded reset button, I wasn't sure what to think about this episode when it started. Annie was back in the fold with Joan, butting heads with her superiors over an operation with the potential for serious repercussions. Besides Auggie being in therapy, how was this an evolution of the story?
Ah, the "treasure hunt". Already, it's been the focus of the show's longest-running story arc, and at least one episodic story that I can think of. I remember that episode being a fun, lighthearted romp, and it left me wishing that "White Collar" would do more "treasure hunt" episodes. Wish fulfilled. "National Treasure"-type escapades are nothing new for "White Collar", but it's rare to see it so unabashedly embraced as it is here. The episode's climax doesn't quite live up to the promising earlier half or so, but an amusing and intriguing last-minute twist seems to leave the door open for sequel episodes.
