Angelina Lasser meets a Grimm.

Little pig, little pig, let me come in,' said the wolf to the pig. 'Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin,' said the pig to the wolf.

After his house is destroyed by a suspicious explosion, Hap moves in with Monroe. With Hap nearby, Monroe has trouble restraining his wild side. Hap's sister, Angelina Lasser, seeks revenge on a Bauerschwein who continues the legendary battle of Pig vs. Wolf.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Achilles' Heel: It's established in this episode that Blutbad have a point on their back that, if struck, can stun the Blutbad.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Lt. Orson, the precinct's arson investigator.
  • *Click* Hello: Monroe returns from shopping to be greeted with a shotgun being pointed at his head.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Whatever can be seen of the crime scene photos from the murders of Lt. Orson's brothers, there wasn't much left after Angelina was through with them.
  • Cycle of Revenge: Angelina Lasser killed Lt. Orson's brothers, so he kills her brothers.
  • Deadly Delivery: Lt. Orson disguises himself as a meat delivery man when he arrives at Monroe's house and kills Hap.
  • Detective Mole: Lt. Orson, the officer investigating the fires that killed Angelina's brothers, was also the one to set them.
  • The Dog Bites Back: The Bauerschwein are hunting down the Blutbad to take revenge.
  • Double Tap: Hap is shot three times in the chest and once in the head.
  • Fairytale Motifs: Three Little Pigs.
    • Fractured Fairy Tale: This time it's the pigs who are going around attacking wolves (albeit after said wolves killed the pig's immediate family). Orson even tells Nick that the "huff-and-puff" days are over.
  • Fanservice: We get a shot of Angelina shirtless and wearing a bra.
  • Karma Houdini: Angelina manages to skip town before she's arrested for the murder of Orson's brothers.
  • Missed Him by That Much: The only reason why Hap escaped the bombing of his house is because he threw his shake weight out the window. By accident.
  • The Only One I Trust: Monroe says that the only person he doesn't suspect of the bombings is Angelina, because Blutbad "never kill their own".
  • Posthumous Character: Rolf Lasser, Angelina and Hap's brother. Also George and Stanley Orson, Lt. Orson's brothers.
  • Revenge by Proxy: Why Angelina's brothers were killed, because she killed the killer's brothers.
  • Serendipitous Survival: Hap Lasser survives his house being bombed in the opening because he threw his shake weight out the window and when he turned back to retrieve it, he didn't have a house anymore.
  • Token Good Teammate: Rolf Lasser. Compared with Hap who was in and out of debt and Angelina who committed a double murder, Rolf was a "solid citizen".
  • Tragic Mistake: Monroe leaving Hap to go for a "run" with Angelina leads directly to Hap's death.
