Nick and Wu discover an Orgy of Evidence
'Perhaps some accident has befallen him,' said the king, and the next day he sent out two more huntsmen who were to search for him.
Nick is put in a tricky situation when he discovers that the suspect in his latest case is a freedom fighter trying desperately to escape the clutches of a Wesen bounty hunter. Rosalee finds herself in danger when she and Monroe hide the suspect from the bounty hunter, and Nick is forced to choose whether to respond as a cop or a Grimm.
