"Natural Born Wesen" is the 14th episode and of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 2 and the 36th overall, which premiered on March 15, 2013, on NBC. The episode was written by Thomas Ian Griffith and Mary Page Keller, and was directed by Michael Watkins.
Opening quote: "So the animals debated how they might drive the robbers out, and at last settled on an idea."
Nick (David Giuntoli) has drunk the antidote and is experiencing its side effects. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) takes a drop of Nick's blood and adds it to a potion that is ingested by Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) and Renard (Sasha Roiz). When Juliette returns home, she hallucinates an enormous pit in her living room, and an endless staircase.
The next day, Monroe is in a bank when it is robbed by three Wesen. He tells Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) that the robbers broke the most important Wesen law of honor: the Gesetzbuch Ehrenkodex, which forbids any Wesen from exposing their form to the public to "take advantage of normal folk". As a Grimm, Nick must deal with this.
Monroe goes to a Wesen bar to find out about the robbers. He is attacked by the robbers, but is saved by Nick and Hank. In a factory, a homeless man tells Nick and Hank that one of the robbers is a man named Gus (Eric Martin Reid).
The next day, the robbers pull another bank heist, this time killing a woman and a police officer during their escape. The robberies disturb the Wesen community, and a group shows up in the spice shop. Rosalee invokes an uneasy family alliance to contact De Groot (Nurmi Husa), a member of the Wesen Council, to report the Gesetzbuch Ehrenkodex violation. Gus tells his fellow robbers Cole (Callard Harris) and Krysta (Lili Mirojnick) that he is leaving, and they kill him. They flee to the factory, while Nick and Hank arrive to find Gus' body. Nick and Hank arrive at the factory and arrest Cole and Krysta, but the pair are certain that they will quickly be released for lack of evidence.
While Renard is giving a press conference at the station, Nick and Hank arrive with Cole and Krysta. Suddenly, an assassin appears and shoots Cole and Krysta dead. It is revealed that De Groot ordered the assassination in response to the violation of Wesen law. The episode ends with Juliette, still hallucinating, in her bed receiving a call. As lightning invades the room, a deep voice says, "I just want you to know the truth."
