Opening quote: "The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned."
In continuation of the previous episode, Nick (David Giuntoli) confronts his mother, Kelly (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), whom he is astonished to see still alive. Kelly hides when Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz), Sergeant Wu (Reggie Lee) and other officers arrive to arrest Kimura (Brian Tee). Renard notices that Kimura has tattoos that resemble the Coins of Zakynthos. Meanwhile, on a cargo ship, a Wesen kills harbor patrol officers investigating a suspicious container, then emerges in human form.
After the police leave, Kelly tells Nick that while his father did die in the car crash, the woman who died was her friend Gina. The Reaper (Kimura) mistook Gina for her and took her head as a trophy. She has spent the last 18 years following Kimura and tracking the others involved. She admits that Aunt Marie knew she was alive the whole time, but says it was safest for Nick to believe she was dead. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) arrive to tell Nick that Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) is at risk of severe memory loss.
Renard visits Juliette and checks her eyes, deducing that Adalind is responsible for her condition. He tells Adalind's mother Catherine (Jessica Tuck) that he will hold her responsible for whatever happens. Catherine visits Rosalee's shop to order ingredients which Rosalee recognizes are for a wake-up potion for Juliette. Nick visits Catherine and threatens to kill her if Juliette dies.
Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the attack on the cargo ship; Nick notices a scythe (the symbol of the Reapers) painted on the container wall. Two FBI agents arrive to take over the case. Nick tries to warn them that there is more to the case than it seems, but he is ignored. Renard visits Kimura in his jail cell and learns that another Grimm is helping Nick. Later, Renard has Kimura poisoned.
Kelly deduces that the attacker was a Mauvais Dentes. She also realizes he is searching for the key that Aunt Marie gave to Nick, and that the royal family must be involved.
Marnassier (Mike Dopud), the Mauvais Dentes, calls a man (James Frain), interrupting him while he is torturing a man for information. Later, he lures the FBI agents to a warehouse and kills them; he then calls Nick, demanding he too come to the warehouse. As Nick arrives, he receives a call from Monroe and Rosalee saying they have an antidote for Juliette's condition. While Nick cautiously explores the warehouse, Marnassier attacks him from behind.
