"Love Sick" is the 17th episode of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 1, which premiered on April 13, 2012, on NBC. The episode was written by Catherine Butterfield, and was directed by David Solomon.
Opening quote: "Forgive me for the evil I have done you; my mother drove me to it; it was done against my will."
Nick (David Giuntoli) continues studying the key his aunt gave him. He and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) go on a double date with Hank (Russell Hornsby). Nick is shocked to discover that Hank's date is Adalind Schade (Claire Coffee), the person who tried to kill Aunt Marie.
Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) is approached by a bodyguard, Thomas Woolsey (Marti Matulis), who is under orders to escort him to his cousin, Anton Krug (Basil Harris). Anton states that the "family" needs the key or it will be forced to find Nick and retrieve it. Renard refuses and kills them both. He then meets Catherine Schade (Jessica Tuck), Adalind's mother. Nick confronts Adalind in the restaurant, but Hank interrupts to inform him of the murders of Krug and Woolsey. As they investigate, Nick notices Wu (Reggie Lee) eating a chapstick.
At the station, Wu passes out. Renard uses the distraction to steal a phone that could incriminate him in the murders, changing the SIM card before returning the phone to Nick's desk. Nick discovers from Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) that Hank has been given a love potion spell which, depending on his state, will be difficult to counteract. They realize Wu ingested the same potion and administer (and test) the antidote on him.
They get to Hank, but Adalind has altered the spell and the antidote will not work. Adalind calls Nick, telling him to give her the key or Hank will die by morning. Rosalee learns that the blood of a Grimm will kill the Hexenbiest spirit in Adalind and cure Hank. In the woods, Nick attacks Adalind and then kisses her, causing her to bite his lip and ingest his blood. The spirit leaves Adalind, leaving her a normal person. Hank wakes up.
Adalind returns to her mother's house; Catherine and Renard dismiss her as powerless and therefore useless to them. Renard acknowledges that he has underestimated Nick, who has thus proved himself valuable. The episode ends with Nick continuing his research on the key. He uses it as a stamp, and notices that the imprints of its sides fit together to form part of a larger image or map.
