"" is the first episode of Season 3 of Grimm and the forty-fifth episode overall. It first aired on October 25, 2013 on NBC.

Synopsis
15 minutes before the the conclusion of, Sean Renard is following Eric from his hotel. While at the container yard, Juliette, Monroe, and Rosalee run to get into their vehicle. As soon as they get in, they are surrounded by zombies. Monroe puts his foot on the pedal and slowly drives as zombies are all over the car. He turns a corner and most of the group of zombies are left behind, but a few remain on top of the car. While they are trying to escape, Nick is fighting Baron Samedi on top of the containers, where Nick eventually tackles the Baron inside of one.

5 minutes before the conclusion of "Goodnight, Sweet Grimm" Eric arrives at the container yard with Sean close behind. Inside the container, Nick finds the coffin with a passport with his name and picture. He hears a noise, and quickly turns around as Baron Samedi spits in his face. Sean gets out of his car and watches as Eric walks into the container. Monroe, Rosalee, and Juliette are still driving around the container yard with zombies on the car, so Monroe tells everyone to buckle up and he floors the pedal. Right before crashing into a container, he slams on the breaks causing the zombies on the car to fly off and hit the container. Eric meets with the Baron and observes Nick in the coffin before he closes the top.

In the present time, while still trying to escape the zombies, Monroe accidentally drives the car into a hole near a construction site, which causes the car to get stuck. Monroe, Rosalee, and Juliette quickly get out and climb one of the construction vehicles to the top of a pile of containers. Sean finds the door to the container where Eric and the Baron were and slowly goes in. He sees the Baron coordinating two of Eric's workers to carry the coffin with Nick and load it into a van. Once the coffin is loaded, the Baron tells Eric they'll be in the air soon and gets in the van, going the opposite direction to Eric. While watching everyone leave, Sean hears a noise and is attacked by two zombies. He fights them at the same time as Monroe, Rosalee, and Juliette are fighting zombies off of the container they're on.

At the precinct, Hank returns from getting his cast off. Wu catches him up on the recent events of the night. As Hank sits down, a panicking Juliette calls as she is fighting off the zombie attackers. Juliette tells him they're at the container yard getting attacked by a lot of zombies, and that she doesn't know where Nick is. She drops the phone while fighting, so Hank tells Wu to round up as many unis as he can and go to the container yard because they have "more of those whack jobs to deal with." On the container, Monroe, Rosalee, and Juliette watch as zombies continue to keep coming with no end in sight.

The three of them are starting to get overrun as more and more zombies get in top of the container, so Monroe woges and quickly knocks multiple zombies off the container. Multiple cop cars arrive to the scene with Hank and Wu. Hank tells everyone to open up a container to try to contain the zombies, and that there is an antidote. Juliette yells to Hank from the top of the container that they have to find Nick. Hank then calls Captain Renard who is still fighting zombies inside the container. As soon as he knocks the last zombie out he hears his phone ringing on the ground. Hank asks Renard if Nick is with him and Renard tells Hank that his brother has Nick. They both let each other know that they are at the container yard and Renard heads over to where Hank is.

At the airport, the van containing Nick backs up to a private plane as Baron Samedi observes. In the container yard Renard arrives as Hank helps Monroe, Rosalee, and Juliette down from the construction vehicle they used to get on the containers. Renard tells them he tracked his brother to the container yard and that he took Nick to try to get him out of the country, so all four get into Renard's vehicle to go to the airport.

Renard tells the group he saw a coffin with Nick in it being transported. He says that with the right paperwork, Nick can be transported out of the country legally. They conclude that the zombie mess was just a distraction to get Nick, and Rosalee says she doesn't think will behave the same as the other zombies because he is a Grimm. Hank calls the airport police and tells them to ground the plane that Nick is on. Two airport policemen arrive at the plane right after Nick is loaded on board and Baron Samedi is boarding. One of them asks for identification while the other goes on the plane to check things out. Inside the plane he notices the coffin and tries to open it, but it is locked. He hears his partner scream outside as Baron Samedi laughs. He hurries outside as his partner collapses. When he goes to check on him, Baron Samedi woges and spits on the cop.

In Austria, Stefania extracts the still beating heart from Frau Pech and puts it into a box. She carefully pours a liquid onto the box and tells her sons to bring her Adalind.

Back in Portland, the group arrives to the airport and find the two airport cops lying on the ground. They then observe as the plane lifts off the ground on its way to Europe. Juliette tells Renard that he has to do something and Renard says there is nothing they can do because the plane will soon be over international waters. Monroe asks where they are taking Nick, and Renard says likely Austria because Eric can control him there. Juliette slap Renard, saying he better get Nick back since his family is responsible for this. Renard says he will do whatever he can, but he can't stop the plane.

Hank receives a call from Wu as the officers get the last few zombies into a container. Hank tells Rosalee that she needs to make a lot more of the antidote and Juliette chimes in, "what about Nick?!?" Renard says he will check with the FAA and once they know where the plane is heading they can intercept. Monroe asks what they are going to do about the airport cops, and since it's too early to treat them, Rosalee says they have to bring them along.

On the plane, Baron Samedi is having a drink and smoking a cigar when he hears a thud coming from the coffin.

In Austria, Adalind arrives to meet with Stefania. Stefania gives her a knife and says the next step in regaining her Hexenbiest powers is to cut of Frau Pech's hands and feet, and cut out her eyes.

The Baron gets up to examine the coffin. Nick punches multiple dents in the coffin and bursts out. The Baron quickly woges and spits on him again. Thinking he has re-incapacitated Nick, he starts to walk back to his seat, but Nick jumps up and attacks him. Nick slams the Baron up against the cockpit door, and then throws him across the plane. With all the noise, the Co-Pilot comes out to see what is going on. Nick turns around an punches him in the face and starts slamming him into walls. The Baron grabs a bottle and hits it over Nick's head. Nick turns around and grabs the Baron and they end up going into the cockpit.

Adalind finises up her latest tasks. Miguel and Yanko put Frau Pech's hands, feet, and eyes into a bucket. Stefania picks up the box with Frau Pech's heart and says the next step is going into the woods.

In the woods, they come across a field of flowers. Stefania takes off a piece of the top of the box and throws it into the air. It flies around for a few seconds before finally landing. They walk over to the spot and Stefania says that is where Adalind must dig. She is given a handle with a hand attached to use for digging.

As Nick and the Bron continue to fight, they are running into the Pilot and the plane begins to descend quickly. The Baron starts telling Nick, "obey me for I am your master" which temporarily stops Nick from attacking, but a few seconds later he punches the Baron again and then the plane crashes because the pilot lost control.
