"Fugitive" is the first episode and season premiere of season 6 of the supernatural drama television series Grimm and the 111th episode overall, which premiered on January 6, 2017, on the cable network NBC. The episode was written by series creators David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf and was directed by Aaron Lipstadt.

Opening quote: "Maybe this world is another planet's hell."

The episode opens on Nick Burkhardt and Sean Renard in Nick's loft, the scene of the previous season finale's final battle in which major Black Claw figure Bonaparte was killed by Sean's sword. Nick tentatively thanks Sean, but Sean admits to being unsure of his contribution. He wonders how Nick can be alive in spite of being hit by bullets, and Nick says he's unsure. Sean departs, leaving his sword.

Meanwhile, Monroe, Rosalee, Hank, Wu, Eve and Trubel are all still in the tunnel system accessed through the loft. Monroe and Rosalee are one of two groups separated in search for an exit. Rosalee brings up her pregnancy, and she and Monroe agree to not disclose it to anybody else. Both search parties return, and Nick meets the scared group who expect an attacker and marvel at Nick's being alive.

Sean meets Adalind at the mansion and tells her of Bonaparte's demise, mentioning he does not intend to confess his role and will instead blame Nick. He plays at Diana's possible involvement and also suggests Adalind will be sorry she fell in love with Nick. Adalind finds Diana in bed, and a doll and pin at the foot end, and Diana confirms that she played with her doll and did not want Bonaparte to ever hurt Adalind again.

Having returned from the tunnels, Nick's group splits up to remove evidence of the fights at Nick's loft and Rosalee's shop. At the shop, one of the corpses grips Eve's arm, and she enters a trancelike state. Rosalee identifies this as the Death Grip, and on consulting a book hacks off the attacker's hand as a remedy. Eve then returns to consciousness. Rosalee mentions that the Death Grip can return a dead wesen to life if they offer up a pure soul as barter. The group wonders how Eve's soul can be pure. At the loft, Adalind calls Nick, asking him to see her and Kelly and he agrees.

From the conversation with Adalind earlier, Nick goes to the Black Claw mansion to see Adalind. They kiss and reconcile. Nick gets to see Kelly and they talk about Diana. The meeting ends with a make-out session between her and Nick.

Trubel notices she still has the cloth that the mysterious stick was wrapped in, and shows it to Eve, who is able to see patterns on it that Trubel cannot, and which match marks Eve saw on the dead wesen's face during her Death Grip trance.

Meanwhile, Renard has obtained warrants for various premises and a shoot to kill order on Nick, and Hank and Wu relay inside police info to Nick, who has gone into hiding at Bud's place. At a meeting of Nick's group at Bud's, the group decides that Nick should leave Portland, and Eve explains to Nick that it might not be wise to use the stick continuously. As the episode closes, Nick and the group are still hiding at Bud's place, which is completely surrounded by heavily armed police.
