* StateTheSimpleSolution: How to prove that Ava Diaz' husband was gaslighting her and is therefore responsible for the death she caused without mentioning Wesen? Just find a mask that looks close enough to his and his brothers' woges and [[CowboyCop pretend you found it in the house]]. That and the existence of three previously unknown brothers seem to do the trick.

* DirtyCoward: Shaw the Klaustriech, who plans to attack Nick now he's no longer a Grimm, but backtracks in a hurry when he realises there's still a Grimm in town, who's pretty protective of Nick. Clearly, targets who can fight back aren't his thing.
* EasilyOverheardConversation: Bud stops by to talk to Trubel, pretending it's about one of his kids and a bully until Nick is out of the way and he comes clean; a Klaustriech called Shaw has heard that Nick's not a Grimm anymore and wants to "teach him a lesson," presumably fatally. He and Trubel head out to track the guy down, and the camera pans around to show Juliette sitting around a bend on the stairs looking troubled, having clearly heard the whole thing.

Nick and Hank are called to the scene of a crime where the suspect swears she was driven to madness by a very persistent talking wolf. Meanwhile, Nick and Juliette wonder if getting his Grimm powers back is worth giving up a normal life. Elsewhere, Bud hopes Trubel can help take care of a Wesen-related issue and the threats against Monroe and Rosalee's inter-Wesen marriage heat up. In Austria, Adalind continues her perilous trek in the hopes of retrieving her daughter.

Removing trope misuse. This trope is about someone coming up with a convoluted plan when something much more simple is staring them in the face, and has to have that fact pointed out to them.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome misuse, the entry is just plot happening and characters reacting to things, there's no narrative subversion using real life instead of storytelling going on. Removed Wham Line misuse; Wham is for when the status quo is changed forever. Nick losing his powers was a temporary change in the status quo (which also wouldn't be Wham) that this line confirms is about to end.


* ShoutOut: The opening quote is from "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," from ''Literature/AesopsFables''.

* {{Gaslighting}}: BroughtDownToNormal: Nick has been a former Grimm for a few episodes now, but with a potential solution available this episode explores what it really ''means'' for Nick not to be a Grimm anymore. Needing Trubel to come along on cases, random Wesen wanting to "teach him a lesson" now he's not super strong and being of limited use to people in trouble are all problems, but Nick finally confesses the clincher to Monroe: he ''liked'' being a Grimm, and is pissed that it's been taken away. Juliette finally gets on board when a Wolfsangel is burned on Monroe and Rosalee's lawn.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Monroe finds three identical suits in the attic, and is almost caught by "Gabriel" coming home with another in a dry-cleaning bag. This foreshadows that there are four identical Luison.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Nick and Juliette are less than thrilled with the solution to Nick being BroughtDownToNormal; Juliette takes a potion to look like Adalind and sleeps with Nick (basically mirroring the way Nick lost his powers). In addition to it being creepy, they're not even sure they ''want'' Nick to be a Grimm again. Various solutions are suggested, such as "pretend it's a costume" or "a dark room."
