Opening quote: "And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
Eric (James Frain) meets with the Baron (Reg E. Cathey) to discuss their move. Eric then lets him spit his substance on one of his bodyguards, severely beginning his transformation into a zombie. Baron then makes a ritual to lead all the zombies to Portland. Nick's (David Giuntoli) and Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) relationship begins to build up now that she knows about the Grimm world.
Renard (Sasha Roiz) is told by his informant that Eric possessed death certificates and passports. In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is knocked unconscious by Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis), who uses a potion to impersonate her appearance. Nick and Wu (Reggie Lee) are called to a building where the zombies were sent. Nick is attacked by a zombie driver, Al (Timothy Whitcomb), whom he knocks unconscious. He and Hank (Russell Hornsby) take Al to the spice shop, where Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) state that to cure him, they have to stimulate the central nervous system through the use of a substance.
Eric meets with Renard to discuss his mother and asks Renard to come with him to Europe. While inspecting a car that was left in the road, Nick senses something and notices containers at the port. Stefania (Shohreh Aghdashloo) meets with "Adalind", and then explains that, for their purposes, they will take Frau Pech's heart. Stefania and her henchmen knock out "Adalind" and take her heart from the stomach. Adalind returns to her normal form, certain that her powers are back.
The antidote works and Al is restored to normal, but he can't remember what happened while he was in that state but he remembers that a man with a top hat may be responsible. Adding that his car was found near containers, Nick deduces that the zombies could be being kept on the harbor. They decide to go to the harbor to give them the antidote but not before Nick gives Rosalee the key to hide. Nick, Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette arrive at the harbor and Baron begins opening containers, unleashing the zombies onto them.
Rosalee manages to give the antidote to some zombies but as there are too many, they are forced to escape. Nick then hears Baron and decides to go after him on the top of a container. They fight on it until both fall inside the container. Baron flees and Nick finds a coffin with a passport for a man named "Thomas Schirach" and a picture of himself. Baron then appears and spits his substance onto him. Monroe, Rosalee and Juliette are forced to flee when the zombies surround them. Eric arrives at the container with Baron where they are planning on transporting the coffin, which contains Nick in a coma while he is becoming a zombie. The episode ends with a card reading, "To be continued... Oh come on, You knew this was coming."
