* BerserkButton: The hunting of Wilahara for their feet proves to be this trope for Rosalee, who is ''incensed'' that this is still going on and makes it her personal mission to help bring down those responsible. When told to make sure the nurse acting as go-between doesn't leave the clinic, it doesn't take Rosalee long to get to "punch the bitch out."



* NauseaFuel: The gang unsurprisingly feel this way about practice of gettin' busy with a severed foot under the bed.
-->'''Nick:''' It says here, "Before relations are to begin, the severed Willahara foot must be placed beneath the couple wishing to procreate."\\
'''Hank:''' You're joking. [''Nick shows him the entry''] Okay, not joking.\\
'''Nick:''' There's more. "The fresher the foot, the more fertile the female will be. Within three days, conception will occur."\\
'''Wu:''' They leave a severed foot under the bed for three days?\\
'''Hank:''' That's what it says.\\
'''Wu:''' Uh, does anybody else think this is messed up?
* NeverMyFault: Both the nurse acting as go-between and the couple who paid $10K for a severed Wilahara foot insist that they have nothing to do with ''murder''.

* CallBack: Henrietta tells Nick that Juliette's condition is permanent, referencing [[Recap/GrimmS1E17LoveSick Nick taking Adalind's power]] as she explains that that won't work this time because Nick's blood is already in Adalind and therefore in Juliette.

to:

* CallBack: AndThisIsFor: Used by Chloe to her captor when she's beating him with the stake he tied her to. She adds [[YouKilledMyFather "And this is for my father!"]] before stabbing him through the foot.
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Adalind seems pretty certain that her child's father must be Nick, even though she was sleeping with Renard about a week earlier. It's possible they were using some form of birth control that was nullified when she turned into Juliette, but it's not specified.
* BerserkButton: The hunting of Wilahara for their feet proves to be this trope for Rosalee, who is ''incensed'' that this is still going on and makes it her personal mission to help bring down those responsible.
-->'''Rosalee:''' The thought that they're still being hunted, don't get me started!\\
'''Hank:''' If the killer is selling their feet...\\
'''Rosalee:''' That is, I am sorry, ''outrageous''. God, you're getting me started.\\
[''Monroe and Rosalee plan to go undercover'']\\
'''Monroe:''' See, that's what happens when you get her started.

Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: For the first time ever, a Wesen is ''relieved'' to find that the cop she's talking to is a Grimm, because it means he really ''does'' know what kind of danger a kidnapped Chloe is in.
* ProperlyParanoid: Peter describes his mother as paranoid in the ColdOpen. Considering he's soon murdered for his foot, she might have been onto something.
