You should see the other guy.
Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. The sun might shine or the clouds might lower, but nothing could appear to me as it had done the day before.

- Cliffhanger: Nick returns to the loft to find Adalind and Kelly gone, with only a note from Adalind saying she has to leave to protect her children. When Nick finishes reading, the note fades, leaving only the words, "I have to protect you," which fade as well.
- Doing In the Wizard: Theorising how Wu was infected with lycanthropia, Rosalee mentions a theory that the genetic condition is a mutation caused by a virus, with which Wu has been infected.

- Internal Reveal: Subverted. Adalind finally reveals her returning powers to Nick, but he already knows.
- Join or Die: Bonaparte's threat towards Adalind.Bonaparte: If she chooses the Grimm, we will have to kill her.

- Shame If Something Happened: Conrad Bonaparte meets Adalind in her office, admires baby Kelly, and then threatens her children if she doesn't leave Nick for Renard.Bonaparte: There is no word for a parent who loses their child. [...] Your present relationship is very unhealthy for you and Kelly. Your future is with us, not with the Grimm. You need to make a decision by the end of the day.
- You Have to Believe Me!: A nurse sees Wu's woge face while he has a nightmare in hospital. She freaks out and runs into the hall screaming about the horrible thing she saw. some doctors follow her back into the room, which is empty, only for Wu to appear from the bathroom and ask if everything's okay. The nurse protests that she really did see something, but no one believes her.
- You Wake Up in a Room: Variation. Twice Wu wakes up in a place he knows, but doesn't know how he got there.
- At the start of the episode, he wakes up in hospital after the events of "Good to the Bone" and has to be informed of what happened.
- After killing Theo Delano, Wu wakes up in his own room, but has no idea how he got there or why he's covered in blood.
