Opening quote: "It is not light that we need, but fire."
Nick (David Giuntoli) mourns over Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) body when suddenly, assailants enter the house, kidnap Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) and drug Nick. The drug causes Nick to hallucinate Juliette's funeral and finding his mother's head in his house before he wakes up. When he wakes up, he finds that Trubel, Juliette and his mother's head are gone and the house was cleaned. He receives a call from Hank (Russell Hornsby), informing him of the situation and going over the house.
Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) are informed of Juliette's death. Nick recalls when Chavez (Elizabeth Rodriguez) kidnapped Trubel and deduces that she may be responsible and goes to her office to confront her. He threatens her but she denies her involvement in the events and has him taken away from the office. She is later seen in an unknown location where she meets with Meisner (Damien Puckler) to discuss an inmate. Nick is later confronted by Renard (Sasha Roiz), who chastises him for his recklessness. Hank and Wu (Reggie Lee) discover that three people died in the house across the street from Nick's house.
Bud (Danny Bruno) is giving breakfast to Adalind (Claire Coffee), when she suddenly starts to go into labor, and he takes her to the hospital. Nick eventually discovers Chavez's address, fights her in the apartment and knocks her out. He takes Chavez to the spice shop and handcuffs her in the basement. They question her with Nick revealing himself as the Grimm when Bud calls to announce Adalind is giving birth. Nick and Rosalee go to the hospital, when the baby's heart rate drops and the doctors are forced to do a C-section on Adalind.
Back in the spice shop, Chavez is let to answer her phone to announce that Nick is the Grimm and they need to meet. She calls Nick, who agrees to go with her and frees her.
Nick and Chavez arrive at a warehouse to meet with her agents but instead, they find them dead. Suddenly, two Wesen arrive and attack them. Chavez kills one of them but the other stabs her with his claws in the stomach. Nick goes after the Wesen but it escapes, leaving a symbol of a claw in the wall. He tries to calm Chavez but Chavez is bleeding out. She explains, "they're rising" and gives him Trubel's chess piece and her phone before dying. Nick talks with Meisner on the phone, who tells him to keep it. Nick goes back to the hospital where he meets Adalind and the baby. She says that the baby is for both of them and decide to name him Kelly.
