Monroe, Hank and Nick arrive at the place where Wendy's body was found. Monroe scents the area and says that it's a little stale. Monroe then woges and heads off in the direction that Wendy ran.

Monroe is still following the scent and he tells the cops that Wendy wasn't alone.
Peter declares that it is time for bed, and Lilly leads Rosealee to the place where she will sleep. The kids ask for a bedtime story and Rosealee agrees to tell them the story of the Grimm and the wolf. Rosealee explains that the Grimm can see Wesen and since they don't know who are good and who are bad, they hunt them all. The kids asks what a Wesen is and Rosealee seems shocked. Rosealee says that the story begins with a boy who turned into a wolf when he was angry. He was warned never to get angry around strangers because you can never tell if that stranger is a wolf. The boy apparently was proud of who he was.
The cops and Monroe continue to track through the woods.
Rosealee says that once the boy realised that he had woged in front of a Grimm, he knew it was a mistake. The Grimm's eyes turned black but it was too late and the Grimm cut off the Blutbad's boy's head. The boy's family declared revenge and decided to set a trap.
Monroe almost walks into a trap set by the kids and is saved by Hank's yell.
Rosealee looks around and the kids are sleeping. She woges and starts to chew away at the ropes holding her.
Hank, Monroe and Nick find the truck and Monroe pauses when he smells Rosealee. Rosealee steps out of the tent and tries to sneak away. She runs into the woods but in the tent, Lilly's cough wakes her. Lilly screams, alerting her brothers and the chase for Rosealee is on. Rosealee falls into a trap and quickly finds herself surrounded by the children. Peter declares that Rosealee is a bad mother and they help her out of the pit. Big John woges followed by all of the children. Rosealeee says that this has gone far enough and woges herself. The kids are shocked that Rosealee is a Wesen. Lilly woges and hugs Rosealee, saying that Rosealee is the same as her. When they hear a noise in the bushes, Rosealee tells the kids that her husband is looking for her.
John and Peter woge yelling that Rosealee is theirs and that Monroe cannot have her. The kids attack but move backward when Nick comes out of the bushes recognizing that he is a Grimm. Lilly begs Rosealee not to leave and Rosealee wraps her arms around the young woman.
At the police station, Rosealee is told that child services will take over and that a judge will decide where they go. Rosealee heads over to the kids and tells them that she is sorry that she couldn't be their mother. Rosealee adds that she wishes she could make it better for them but none of the kids look at her. Rosealee asks to write to Lilly but Lilly tells Rosealee that she never wants to see her again and that she hates her. A resigned Rosealee walks away.
Adalind gets out of bed and when she opens the door, she wakes Nick accidentally. Adalind says that she doesn't want to be alone right now and asks Nick to sleep in the same room with her and Kelly. When Nick doesn't answer at first, Adalind apologises, saying that what she is asking is too weird. Nick responds that they are beyond weird at this point and hops out of bed. Nick stares at the ceiling, as he lies in bed next to Adalind. Adalind thanks Nick but he does not respond.
Monroe tries to comfort Rosealee, saying that she can only do so much. Rosealee says that she told the kids a story that her mother used to tell her and that it hit her then that the kids have no idea that they are Wesen. Rosealee adds that she hopes they find the help they need.
The boys are brought into a boys school and are introduced to Warden Hook. The warden tells the boys that he knows what they are and demands he show them. The Warden woges and the boys follow suit. The warden offers the boys a chance to join other like themselves and to be with others like them. The boys are told to say the same saying Betty said last week before she died.
A bruised and battered Truble is let out of her cell.
It's clear despite all of the reasons that they shouldn't that Grimm is going to make Nick and Adalind a couple. When he went to lie next to her in bed I was beyond disgusted. I am going to say this repeatedly because it needs to be said repeatedly, Adalind raped Nick. No matter how Grimm tries to twist this into a love story of sorts and have Adalind and Nick reminiscing about their first meeting, Adlind is a violent rapist. The fact that she is playing sweet loving mommy now doesn't change that. I am further disgusted with the very idea that Nick is somehow responsible for Adalind's well being. Yes, Kelly is his son and Adalind is Kelly's mother but Kelly only exists because Adalind raped his father. I knew the moment that Grimm had Juliet complaining that Nick cheated on her that Grimm wasn't going to take a positive spin on this but this is just going over the top now. It has to stop. Make it stop Grimm.
Last week, we had Adalind playing damsel in distress completely dependent upon Nick. I hated that version of Adalind particularly because while Adalind was an antagonist, she was a fairly strong character. A seed was planted this week with Adalind running into her former co-worker. I want to see Adalind go back to work and this dependency to come and end.
Grimm has always had a problem with strong women. It particularly burned that this episode is one of the few in which we have seen Rosealee be not only active but proactive. I do however believe that it is particularly telling that Rosealee's opponents were children who she could easily over power. I like that she is a successful business woman but Rosealee needs to be a stronger character given that Trubel has been fridged, Juliet is supposedly dead along with our beloved Mommy Grimm and Adalind has gone all June Cleaver for the most part.
Speaking of Trubel, at the very end we saw a small shot of her. Please, please, please bring Truble back in the next episode. Grimm needs an ass kicking woman.
