4	->''He stripped off his skin and tossed it into the fire and he was in human form again.''
5
6	After Juliette stumbles upon a brutal murder, Nick learns the suspect, a friend of Monroe, is suffering from a strange affliction: the inability to completely return to human form.
7
8	This mysterious condition leads them to a therapist who’s created an artificial drug to suppress the Wesen side, with horrifying side effects.

10	Meanwhile, the investigation takes a surprising turn when Hank sees something he can't quite explain.

12	----
13	!!This episode provides examples of:
14	* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Monroe states that Thoreau, Emerson, and (Edward) Abbey were [[spoiler:Wildermann.]]
15	* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Wildermann are the source of the Bigfoot myths. They're actually a peaceful people, when they're not using experimental drugs to change their nature.
16	* BreakThemByTalking: The therapist tries to distract Nick by asking him personal questions and trying to find his weak points. Nick doesn't rise, refusing to let himself be drawn off-topic.
17	-->'''Dr Brinkerhoff:''' I would love to talk to you about your identity issues sometime.\
18	'''Nick:''' Thanks, I'm good.\
19	'''Dr Brinkerhoff:''' Are you? You can only walk in darkness so long. Sooner or later the inner man emerges for all to see. It's never a question of if, only when.
20	* CallBack: One of the first things we see Monroe doing in the [[Recap/GrimmS1E1Pilot Pilot]] is "marking his territory" against the side of his house. In "Big Feet" this actually causes the police dogs tracking his friend to be thrown off the trail.
21	* FairyTale: About Big Foot [[spoiler:but not really. It's more like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]], although the official website states that it was based off the story of ''Hans the Hedgehog''.
22	* InstantlyProvenWrong: With Larry dead, Renard gives a statement to the press that the danger is over. Cut to the next Wildermann going crazy and attacking people.
23	* ProfessorGuineaPig: The PsychoPsychologist is using experimental drugs on Wildermann who want to control their wilder natures, including himself.
24	* ShoutOut: The opening, with three young people making a documentary of themselves investigating a local legend in the woods and being killed, echoes ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject''.
25	* WhamShot: Hank has seen Monroe's Woge face. Just as Monroe predicted, it's clearly affected him even as Nick tries to wave it off.
