8	Meanwhile, Monroe is put through a sham trial by the Wesen purists. With the verdict already decided, can his friends find him in time?

10	----
11	!!This episode provides examples of:
12
13	* BigDamnHeroes: Nick and the gang arrive, armed for one hell of a fight, just as Monroe is about to be impaled and Bud is one second away from a cut throat.
14	* CallBack: Bud says he hasn't been this happy to see Nick since [[Recap/GrimmS2E10TheHourOfDeath the last time Nick rescued him]].
15	* CowardlyLion: Bud, having been abducted by the Wesenrein to witness against Monroe. Despite being punched and threatened at knifepoint, he pretends not to recognise Monroe, or to remember anything about his friendship with Nick, and generally does his usual nervous rambling, buying time for the BigDamnHeroes to arrive. Despite refusing to testify against Monroe, when asked if ''he'' has ever helped Nick, Bud proudly says he has, and only wishes he could help him now, "because boy, he would have a field day with this!"
16	* DefiantCaptive: Monroe continues to be a SnarkKnight during his "trial." He also makes another escape attempt, killing a Wesenrein when he's recaptured.
17	* DirtyCoward: The fact that every Wesenrein member who sees Nick's Grimm face is shocked to realise he's a Grimm again suggests they only dared act because he was supposedly out of the way. Tellingly, only a handful of them put up a fight, while the rest immediately surrender.
18	* FriendshipMoment: When Bud is threatened with death unless he testifies, a gagged Monroe nods at him, urging him to protect himself at Monroe's expense. Instead, Bud feigns ignorance.
19	* {{Hypocrite}}: Suzanne Acker is presumably a Bauerschwein like her brother, yet she went to Monroe and Rosalee's wedding with John Oblinger, an Eisbiber. Despite being a Wesenrein fanatic who thinks Monroe should die for marrying a Fuchsbau, it's never shown that her brother has a problem with her relationship.
20	* InternalReveal: The episode ends with Juliette showing her woge face to Renard.
21	* ISurrenderSuckers: One of the Wesenrein feigns surrender to Wu. When Wu lets his guard down, the cultist tries to attack, but Wu is faster on the draw with his shotgun.
22	* LetsGetDangerous: Rosalee will ''eat your throat out'' if you try to hurt Monroe.
23	* NoSell: A Wesenrein woges in front of Wu to try and catch him off guard. Nick and Hank prepared him well, and he blasts him away without blinking.
24	-->'''Wu:''' [''Punches Acker''] I don't know what you are, but you're no Aswang.
25	* NothingIsScarier: Whatever Renard does to one of the Wesenrein. All that is heard is a bunch of [[SickeningCrunch crunching]] and Hank cocking his head at the sight.
26	* NotHyperbole: PlayedWith. After Monroe is rescued, he and Rosalee get a police escort to the airport. Monroe jokingly asks if Nick and Hank are going to follow them on the honeymoon, he and Rosalee laugh... and trail off nervously as they realise Nick and Hank aren't laughing.
27	-->'''Nick:''' You won't even know we're there.
28	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: [[TheMole Officer Acker]] is persuaded to give up Monroe's location when he sees his sister in an interrogation room. Renard tells him that anything that happens to Monroe, Nick will do to his sister.
29	* ThreatBackfire: The Grand Master tries to be defiant when the BigDamnHeroes arrive. Nick is not fazed.
30	-->'''Grand Master:''' You may be a Grimm again, but you're not going to be able to arrest all of us.\
31	'''Nick:''' You're right. Some of you will be stupid.
32	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After being sentenced, Monroe is given the chance for some last words. He gives a blistering speech where he basically calls the Wesenrein a bunch of losers who'll never know love, and says he pities them.
33	* TookALevelInBadass:
34	** Wu seems to take naturally to Wesen hunting. After he punches Acker, he quips that he's "no Aswang."
35	** Juliette misses her shot and is jumped by a Wesenrein, he's gloating as he's about to kill her, when she woges and ''blows the back of his head out.''
