* BigDamnHeroes: Nick and Hank find Wu, then the three of them head out after Jack, catching him in time to save the prostitute he was about to kill.



* CallBack: Realising the only way to convince Jack the Ripper leave Renard is to convince him Renard is dying, the gang use the Dead Faint Monroe used in [[Recap/GrimmS2E6OverMyDeadBody Over My Dead Body]].

to:

* CallBack: CallBack:
** Looking around Nick and Juliette's house as they set up the trap for Kelly, Kenneth comments, "[[Recap/GrimmS3E22BlondAmbition Weston Steward had his head cut off here. Sean was shot here.]] [[DeadpanSnarker Such a happy home. Good place to raise a family.]]" He also points out the bed as "where Nick and Adalind made their baby."
** Nick uses [[Recap/GrimmS2E15MrSandman his superhearing]] to track down Jack and the prostitute he's about to kill.
**
Realising the only way to convince Jack the Ripper leave Renard is to convince him Renard is dying, the gang use the Dead Faint Monroe used in [[Recap/GrimmS2E6OverMyDeadBody Over My Dead Body]].Body]].
* CollateralDamage: It's understandable why Juliette would want revenge on Nick and Adalind, but the people who are killed by that revenge include Kelly and all of her and Nick's neighbours, including an elderly couple and a family with children, none of whom had anything to do with her grievances.


Added DiffLines:

* EurekaMoment: Talking through the Jack the Ripper situation, Nick realises they have a Hexenbiest they can consult; Adalind. Sure enough, she not only knows what's happening after very little explanation, she knows how to solve it too.
-->'''Adalind:''' When he died. Sean was dead just long enough for something to hitch a ride, and when his mother brought him back, Sean brought that something back with him. That's why he's bleeding. It's taking control.\\
'''Nick:''' [...] So how do we get it out of him?\\
'''Adalind:''' You can't unless you open the portal again.\\
'''Nick:''' Then how do we do that?\\
'''Adalind:''' You have to kill him.


Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: Jack the Ripper, effectively. Although the possessing spirit is successfully tricked into leaving Renard, it's implied to be little more than an inconvenience as it waits for the next resurrecting soul to hitch a ride back with.


Added DiffLines:

* OperationJealousy: Juliette and Kenneth have sex in her and Nick's bed. It's later revealed that they left the sheets screwed up for Nick to find.
* TongueTrauma: Jack threatens to cut Wu's tongue out if he doesn't stop ruining his good time.
-->-->'''Jack!Renard:''' Hey! Come on. We're here to have fun. Don't ruin it. I'd hate to have to cut out your tongue, [[YouDoNotWantToKnow 'cause I wouldn't do it through your mouth]]. I might get bit, after all.


Added DiffLines:

-->'''Monroe:''' I mean, the dilemma here is, if that thing inside him knows he's not really dying, then he's probably not gonna cross back over.\\
'''Nick:''' I think they both have to believe they're dying.\\
'''Rosalee:''' [...] I think we have to do something that makes it look like he's really dying. We have to convince Jack that this is the end and it's time to move out. [...] Falling asleep might not be enough to do that.\\
'''Monroe:''' We're gonna have to put on a show.\\
'''Nick:''' We may just have to shoot him.
* WomanScorned: Kenneth exploits Juliette's rage against Nick and Adalind by getting her to set up Nick's mother to be murdered. Juliette is a willing and enthusiastic participant.
-->'''Rispoli:''' To be honest, sir, I didn't really think she'd go this far.\\
'''Kenneth:''' I'm not certain there's a limit to what she'll do.

* DemonicPossession: Renard is being possessed by a spirit that tagged along when he was resurrected and is using him to kill people.



* OhCrap:
* OnceMoreWithClarity:
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: The gang discuss how to use the Dead Faint to get rid of Jack the Ripper, concluding that it "won't be enough" and that they need to "put on a show." Part of the plan we've already heard described; they give him the Dead Faint telling him it's a potion to help him remember being possessed so they can figure out a plan. Once he starts falling asleep, they start checking his pulse and generally behaving as if they've just tricked him into drinking poison. So far so good.

to:

* OhCrap:
OhCrap: Nick calls Renard to warn him about Juliette, but someone else answers the phone with a strong Cockney accent and taunts the gang with "Sean can't come to the phone"-type statements. Convinced the killer is at Renard's house, Nick and Hank dash over there, only to find Renard's alone. This leads to a second OhCrap as they realise he's being possessed by Jack.
* OnceMoreWithClarity:
OnceMoreWithClarity: We're shown the events of [[Recap/GrimmS4E20YouDontKnowJack last episode's]] cliffhanger, but this time we can see Hank flying-tackle Monroe just in time to save him from being shot.

Once he starts falling asleep, they start checking his pulse and generally behaving as if they've just tricked him into drinking poison. So far so good. That's when Jack realises something's gone horribly wrong and grabs Rosalee, demanding to know what they gave him or he'll "wring her pretty neck." Rosalee woges, bites him and dives out the way so Nick, Hank and Wu can shoot the absolute crap out of Renard... with rubber bullets, but Jack doesn't know that. Convinced his host is dying, Jack leaves and Renard's bullet wounds close over properly at last.
