Opening quote: "And branded upon the beast, the mark of his kin. For none shall live whom they have seen."
Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are investigating the kidnapping of a girl named Donna Reynolds. They have a suspect, Adrian Zayne (Michael Maize). They question him but he panics: he woges into a Schakal[clarification needed] and tries to escape, but Nick and Hank apprehend him.
Zayne is released due to lack of evidence, although Nick threatens him as a Grimm. Nick sneaks into his house in an attempt to find evidence and stumbles upon Hank doing the same. They discover Zayne's corpse hanging with symbols burned onto his body. Other police arrive, and Wu (Reggie Lee) informs them that Zayne confessed to the kidnapping and that Donna has been saved.
Watching the report on television, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Bud (Danny Bruno) are shocked to see the symbols. Monroe tells Nick that the symbols identify Endezeichen Grimms, who are heartless and kill any Wesen in their path. As Nick is the only known Grimm in Portland, the Wesen will assume he is the killer. Renard (Sasha Roiz) meets with Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) to discuss Nick. After they unintentionally flirt, she becomes uncomfortable and leaves.
A video of Zayne's torture is uploaded to the Internet. Police identify one of the vans in the video as belonging to Richard Berna (Michael Patten), a friend of Zayne's. Nick and Hank arrest him but he is worried that Nick will kill him, thinking he is the Endezeichen Grimm. He is somehow released and police raid his house, only to discover his corpse. Nick is taunted by the Endezeichen Grimm on the phone. They find out that it was the new intern, Ryan (Michael Grant Terry), who released Richard, and that he went after Bud. They discover that Ryan has been stalking Nick.
Nick and Hank locate Bud in a warehouse and Nick chases Ryan. Ryan confronts Nick for his being friends with Wesen. Idolizing the brutality of the Endezeichen, Ryan can't comprehend that they are extremists and not the standard for all Grimms. He woges into Lebensauger form, revealing he is not Grimm. Consumed with self-loathing, he begs to be killed. Nick arrests him. Wu remarks that they need better psychological evaluations for interns. Renard visits Juliette and, after some tension, they kiss. Juliette realizes he was the one who kissed her in the hospital, and they kiss again. Confused and conflicted, she closes the door in his face.
