I think our first really big plot flaw may have just been uncovered...that, or we've been misinformed (possibly by the Fuchsbau).

Consider this:

• The Reaper's ear was cut off.
• The Reaper's ear arrived in a box, and was accompanied by a voice on the phone checking to see it arrived.
• The voice on the phone seemed to indicate it was a representative of the Verrat.
• The Grimms have been assisting the Verrat as of late.

Huh? The Reapers and Grimms are allied?
