They Verrat is a nasty organisation created to protect the royals and crush the Resistance (people like Ian Harmon, Sean Renard, Tavitian, Fornay, etc) Here's the link to the Verrat page; there's a better explanation there.



The word Verrat is definitely not Chinese, though. That's my first language, and it's not even possible to make the V-sound in chinese. I think it sounds German.

It's a pleasure to break them with you too! ^^ I'm glad I didn't come across as some ranting idiot. I feel bad clogging up the forums, but it does relate to the episode. I don't watch Castle, though would you recommend it to me, based on the shows I've listed on my profile page? I do need something to fill the void my life between the Saturdays when Grimm comes out.



Nick most certainly is some sort of representation of the big bad Grimms for the Portland Wesen, most of whom have never met a real Endezeichen Grimm.



<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Wesen are terrified by nothing but stories; and are swiftly growing out of that terror, but if Nick goes on like this they really are going to have to be careful.

When he stabbed two Gelumcaedus without skipping a beat and had it in him to <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">smirk <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> down at their devastated little brother.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">So, what I mean by veering away is very nicely summed up in <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:bold;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Roacher27' <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">s post above mine. Nick's always been a good and conflicted man. In the start, he hesitated to kill anything at all, but now he is just <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">mowing <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> through Wesen.

But so was the man at the bar. He had a knife, and Nick was defending himself, but Nick was so torn up over it he almost turned himself in.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Just some examples of the general desensitization to Wesen wellbeing from 3x08:

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.15;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">He brushes off Bud's concerns about Quinn, oftentimes leaving without giving him any details or comfort. He attacks the Schakal Santa <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">just <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> because he woged. I'd bet he wouldn't have hurt him that much if the Schakal had been human.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.15;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">And I might be mistaken, but after Krampus is knocked out, Hank says something along the lines of, "We can't let him go free, he's Wesen!" (Right in front of Monroe, no less, gosh)

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.15;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Calibri;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">So yeah, like I said, Nick is changing, headed into a dangerous direction where he might really be the monster Wesen kids tell each other around campfires. <span style="color:rgb(217,217,217);font-family:Calibri;font-size:15px;line-height:1.15;white-space:pre-wrap;">I think he's going to trip and fall over that thin line that separates him and his ancestors.
