Grimm (TV)/Awesome

• Aunt Marie, dying of cancer and taking on a monster. She also kills a human assassin with his own knife before expiring herself.
• Captain Renard, defending his turf. Oh yeah.
  • Happens again in "Organ Grinder". It's only a telephone conversation but he tells his mysterious contemporaries that if they want to interfere with his business and territory, they should do so in person.
  • Not to mention the raid on the RV in the same episode where Nick is about to be jumped by one of the monsters only for Renard to shotgun the bastard through the window.
• Juliette gets one in "Game Ogre". She comes home from shopping to find Nick having the tar beaten out of him by the aforementioned Ogre. Does she scream and panic like your garden variety Damsel in Distress? Nope, she instead runs to the kitchen, and ends up winging a pot full of boiling water at the Ogre (who's about a foot taller and twice as wide), disabling him enough so that he gives up and takes off.
  • At first, she reaches for the knife block, then grabs the pot of water. One can assume that she kept her wits about her enough to realize that trying to fend off a bruiser like Stark with a kitchen knife would be futile, while blinding him with boiling water was a better tactic.
• Nick stepping into the arena to defend Monroe during Last Grimm Standing. He even gets a Back-to-Back Badasses moment with Monroe.
  • Monroe gets one the same episode. He starts the fight losing, badly. But then when the bad guys are coming up behind Nick, BAM! Monroe with a shield to the guy's face.
• And another for Monroe back in "Game Ogre". Stark's going after Hank and Nick can't do anything to help from the hospital bed. All Nick expects Monroe to do is get the Ogre-killing gun to Hank. When that was no longer an option, Monroe could have just walked away and said "Sorry, man, tried my best". Did he? No. He breaks out the gun and snipes Stark from the brush just in time to save Hank.
• Juliette gets an awesome moment in "Plumed Serpent". Most girls who get kidnapped, tied up, and held captive in a creepy mine would be too panicked to do more than thank their rescuer profusely. Juliette on the other hand is enough of a Badass that once her hands are free, she gives a kickass one-liner and punches her captor out in one blow.
• Nick gets one in "Love Sick" when he kisses Adalind to get her to bite his tongue. Why? Because the blood of a Grimm kills Hexenbiests, and Nick gets it into Adalind's mouth this way.
• Nick vs. two grimm reapers. "Next time send your best" indeed.
• Nick vs. The Woman in Black. Nice moves, mom!
