Synopsis

Nick is frantically looking through the trailer looking for what the key might unlock. In all the haste, Nick spills a bottle of ink onto the key. Seeing a pattern imprinted on his fingers, he presses the key onto a piece of paper. The pattern looks like it is missing something. Just then, Juliette calls Nick, reminding him not to be late for their dinner with Adalind and Hank.

At the police station, Captain Renard is getting in his car. Just then, a gun is pressed against his neck by Thomas Woolsey. Renard knows him, he is his cousin's bodyguard; Renard's cousin wants to meet him. At an abandoned warehouse parking lot, Renard's cousin says that the family wants action. Renard tells him that he has been calculating his moves carefully. His cousin cautions him, if he does not give them the key, the family will take the Grimm and find it themselves. Renard then grabs Woolsey's gun and shoots his cousin, Anton Krung, and Woolsey. He then drives off.

When Nick arrives at the restaurant, he remembers that Hank's date is the same person that tried to kill Aunt Marie. Nick does not want to have dinner with Adalind and keeps throwing hints to what Adalind really is (a Hexenbiest). After Adalind excuses herself to the restroom, Nick follows her. He confronts her in the stairway, telling her to stay out of Hank's life. She threatens to scream if Nick does not let her go, and she tells Nick that there is nothing that can stop them. An angry Nick is in the restroom when Hank comes in. Hank asks what is going on with Nick, Nick says it is an issue between him and Juliette. Hank tells Nick that he got a call about a murder, Nick says he has to take Juliette home then he will go to the scene.

At the scene, Nick and Hank are greeted by Wu. After applying chap-stick to his lips, Wu decides to take a bite. Nick is shocked and asks Wu why he did that, Wu responds like nothing happened. Wu thinks that the two men shot each-other, but they will need to investigate. Hank asks Nick how this one will turn out, Nick thinks Hank is talking about the murder but Hank is really talking about him and Adalind. Nick says that Hank and Adalind's relationship will not work out. Hank spots a cell phone under the call and asks another investigator for a baggie. The cell phone might help the police find the murderer.

Renard is at Catherine's house, who is Adalind's mom. He reassures her that if her daughter brings Renard the key, Catherine's debt will be paid. After she inquires what Renard will do after he has the key, Renard replies, "Those who help will be remembered and rewarded. Those who don't will be forgotten." As Renard leaves, Catherine looks into a mirror; Renard tells her not to look in the mirror too much.

Back at the station, Wu decides to buy a soda from a vending machine. Upon receiving the soda and some change, Wu decides to eat some coins and wash it down with soda. Hank and Nick are talking with Renard and going over the evidence they have compiled so far. Nick suspect that there might be a second vehicle that drove away, carrying a third man. Hank says they found a cell phone at the scene. Renard, looking concerned, asks if they have accessed the data on it yet. They says they have to send it to the lab since it won't turn on and probably broke when it hit the ground. Wu meets Hank and Nick and tells them info on the airline records that he has reviewed, he opens with some comical lines that don't get noticed. Wu says that both of the victim's guns were checked in with customs, so both guns "knew each-other." Wu then "waits for laugh again" then imitates tapping on a fake microphone. Noticing Wu is not himself, Hank says that it is late and they can pick up the investigation in the morning. Hank is tired and mad he had to cut his date with Adalind short.

As Hank leaves, Nick tells him that he will take the phone down to evidence. Alone with Wu, Nick asks him if he is feeling okay. Wu admits that he has been having some stomach problems and has been gaining weight. Nick then suggests that it was something that Wu has been eating. Wu says he has been eating okay. Wu then tells Nick that he is going to pass out. He then passes out on the floor, everyone rushes to help him. Nick tells someone to call a medic over, as he tries to do CPR. Since everyone is distracted helping Wu, Renard sees the opportunity to snatch the cell phone. When no one is looking, he puts the phone in his pocket.

Later, Renard is seen with gloves on at his desk. He opens the phone and removes the SIM card and the battery. He then inserts a new SIM card. Once everyone has left the station, Renard puts the phone back on Nick's desk before he leaves for the night.

Adalind in Hexenbiest form at her house.

Adalind is arriving home after the short dinner with Hank, Nick and Juliette. After putting up her coat, she senses an intruder is in her house and morphs into her Hexenbiest form. The intruder also morphs into a Hexenbiest. Adalind recognizes that it is her mom and greets her. When her mom asks her how things are going, Adalind says that her mission involves getting the key from Nick, a Grimm. Her mom tells her that she must succeed and asks her if she still loves Renard. Adalind says that she still loves him. Adalind's phone rings and it is Hank, her mom allows her to answer it. Hank wants to have dinner with her tonight, Adalind says she can't since her mom is with her and they have not talked in a long time, she says she can have dinner tomorrow. Hank is satisfied, since he is spying on her outside her window, and agrees to have dinner tomorrow.

At the hospital, Nick gets news on Wu's condition. The nurse comes over with a plate full of all the stuff he ate. She says he has Pica, a disorder that causes someone to eat inedible items. It could be caused by stress, he definitely needs to get help. Nick decides to call Monroe and Rosalee to tell them that Wu has been acting strange and is in the hospital.
