"Big Feet" is the 21st episode of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 1, which premiered on May 11, 2012, on NBC. The episode was written by Richard Hatem from a story by Alan DiFiore and Dan E. Fesman, and was directed by Omar Madha.
Opening Quote: "He stripped off his skin and tossed it into the fire and he was in human form again."
A group of cryptozoologists investigating reports of a sighting of Bigfoot is attacked by a creature and killed violently. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), called to attend when a horse attacked by a large animal, stumbles upon the killings. She calls Nick (David Giuntoli), who arrives with other police. A traumatized survivor raves "Bigfoot killed them!", and the media picks up on this story.
Monroe is woken by an intruder, whom he discovers is his friend Larry (Kenneth Mitchell), stuck in Wesen form. He calls Nick. Police approach Monroe's house with tracker dogs. Monroe puts on Larry's shirt and sets out to lead the dogs elsewhere. In the woods, he takes on Wesen form and frightens the dogs off - but Hank (Russell Hornsby) has him cornered. Still in Wesen form, he attacks Hank, knocking him down, and runs off. Bewildered by what he has just seen, Hank calls Nick.
While Nick and Monroe watch in horror, Larry desperately claws at his own neck, pulls out a device, and dies. Monroe and Nick place Larry's body in the woods, leaving the device in his hand to be found by police. The team duly investigates. Hank says that the man doesn't look the same as when he attacked him. Another attack occurs, this time resulting in the death of the (Wesen) attacker. He has a device in his neck - the same as Larry's.
The device - a drug pump - leads Nick and the team to therapist Konstantin Brinkerhoff (Roger Bart) who has developed a drug to control the conversion between human and Wesen form. Another man using the drug has also died, and Brinkerhoff is using it on himself. Following his own leads, Monroe goes to confront Brinkerhoff, who turns Wesen as the effect of the drug wanes. Nick arrives to question Brinkerhoff, who escapes and runs amok, ending up in a theater. Hank shoots him and is shocked to see the Wesen revert to human form. Nick pretends he did not see the change.
As the episode ends, Juliette tells Nick about the tests she performed on DNA from the creature that attacked the horse: it was neither human nor any known animal. For the first time in her life, she is starting to wonder if the stories about Bigfoot and others might all be true.
