If the preliminary numbers hold up, then "The Ungrateful Dead" will be the second highest viewed episode only behind "Pilot" and just barely ahead of "La Llorona"
Preliminary numbers have the viewers of the episode at 6.13 million. The Pilot had 6.56 million and "La Llorona" had 6.11 million. Hopefully the numbers stay the same or increase when the final adjustments are announced on Monday.

NBC is #1 Friday night among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, with “Dracula” and “Grimm” tying as the night’s #1 scripted programs on the Big 4.
The third season premiere of “Grimm” (1.8/6 in 18-49, 6.1 million viewers overall at 9 p.m. ET) grew versus last fall’s Friday premiere in 18-49 by 13% (1.8 vs. 1.6 on Sept. 28, 2012) and by 15% in total viewers (6.133 million vs. 5.318 million). “Grimm” is up 38% versus its most recent Friday telecast in 18-49 (1.8 vs. 1.3 on April 26) and up 27% in total viewers (6.133 million vs. 4.847 million). This is the top Friday “Grimm” in 18-49 since Nov. 2, 2012.
It’s the #2 “Grimm” ever in total viewers, behind only the series premiere (6.557 million on Oct. 28, 2011).
“Grimm” captured NBC’s best 18-49 rating in the slot since Nov. 2, 2012 and biggest overall audience since Sept. 27, 2013.
L+7: Keep in mind that last season, “Grimm” originals added an average 73% in 18-49 to these next-day L+SD ratings when Nielsen issued L+7 results (to a 2.86 from a 1.65).
