Appearances

"The Show Must Go On"

Inside the main tent of Carnival Metamorphosia, Hedig shows of his four acts: Damien the Last Dragon, Ivan the Strongman, Genvieve the Bearded Lady and Maxmillian the Wolfman. All four are using their Wesen abilities under the guise of magic tricks and end the performance to a standing ovation. After the show, Hedig watches as Max goes home with Monica and Dolores.

The next day after a show, Max and the other performers meet with Hedig. When Max questions him, Hedig reminds him that this is his show and he's the boss. Nick and Hank arrive and show them the photos of the dead women. Eventually the detectives go with Hedig to his trailer to check the employee records. At the trailer, Hedig tells Nick and Hank that he bought the carnival ten years ago and that he, himself was once one of the performers, and gives them the employee list. The detectives leave and Hedig heads back to the tent. Hedig and the others arrives as Max regains control of himself after briefly losing control due to the Umkippen. Max tries to leave, but Hedig warns that he'll ruin them all and has the other performers restrain him. Sid tells Hedig that Genvieve is hurt and goes to wrap up her leg after she cut it on glass when Max lost control. Once Max is subdued, Hedig tells Sid to find someone to replace the now injured Genvieve.

Later, Sid takes Rosalee to a tent to audition to replace Genvieve. Hedig has her woge and slowly spin around as an audition. Satisfied, Hedig tells Rosalee that she's hired and tells her to go to Genvieve's tent to put on her new costume and learn her part.

A little while later, Hedig tells Max that Genvieve has been replaced. Max starts to woge and Hedig woges himself, revealing his Löwen form. He orders Max into the cage and reminds him that he could be in a permanent cell if the police ever find out what Max has been doing. When Hedig says that he stopped the girls from calling the police when Max woged, Max realizes that it was Hedig who killed them, along with anyone else who saw him woge. The ringmaster reminds the other performers that it's all just a show and ignores Rosalee when she objects.

Hedig and the performers head to the stage to start the show. Monroe calls Nick to explain what is happening with Rosalee and that Max is the killer. Monroe then goes into the tent to watch the show and watches as Hedig has each performer woge again. Nick and Hank arrive just as the Hedig flicks his whip at Rosalee, ordering her to transform. Max loses control of his Wesen side and breaks out of his cage before his cue, attacking the other performers and Hedig. Hedig loses control and woges. He sees that Nick is a Grimm and he runs away. Nick and Hank chase after Hedig, who goes into a fun house. He makes his way into the mirror maze, but finds Genvieve, Ivan, and Damien waiting for him. They are there to take revenge on the ringmaster for their mistreatment and for framing Max for murder, with Hedig insisting that he gave them a purpose. Ignoring him, they all woge, with Damien killing him with his Dämonfeuer fire.

Later, Nick and Hank show Renard a photo of Hedig's charred corpse. Renard figures that the case is closed and there's nothing they could prove against the performers. so he tells them to close the case.
