11!!This episode provides examples of:
12* AnArmAndALeg: Monroe ends up ripping off one of Marie's would-be assailants' arm off.
13* BadHabits: One of the assassins who tries to murder Aunt Marie is dressed like a priest.
14* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Female Jägerbars look even more bear-like and animalistic than their male counterparts, even moreso than most Wesen.
15* DeadlierThanTheMale: The mother Jägerbar (a literal MamaBear) masterminds the ritual hunt without her husband's knowledge (he thinks they've left such savage traditions behind), and tries to kill Nick in the end.
16* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Aunt Marie dies in Nick's arms after defeating the assassins who came to kill her.
17* TheDreaded: Marie Kessler is infamous among Monroe's family.
18-->'''Monroe:''' Aunt Marie, right? Yeah, I couldn't sleep the last two nights thinking old aunt Marie was going to cut off my head and stick it on a lamppost. That's how my great-grandma ended up, you know!
19* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Aunt Marie takes out her assassin before dying.
20* EnemyMine: While Nick goes to handle the Jägerbar case, he sends Monroe to watch over Aunt Marie. Monroe is not pleased about having to watch over a Grimm whose job is killing people like him.
21* EveryoneHasStandards: The father Jägerbar is horrified when he learns his wife has been encouraging their son to participate in the rite of passage hunt, and agrees to help Nick stop them before they kill the couple they kidnapped.
22* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Getting caught in the act of a home invasion is one thing, but when the homeowners are ''bears'', you're screwed.
23* FairytaleMotifs: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The girl in the couple who break into the Jägerbars'[[note]]a family of three no less[[/note]] house is a blonde woman named Gilda.
24* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The mother Jägerbar meets her end when charging at Nick... only to fall into a spike pit trap she and her son had set up for his "hunt".
25* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: The Jägerbar rite of passage is to hunt human prey.
