“Grimm” isn’t a traditional show in many aspects, and the producers’ plans for the upcoming episode 8 of the current season are just another example of that. While most TV shows tend to make their Christmas episodes more relaxed and light-hearted, this doesn’t seem to be the case with “Grimm”, where things are shaping up to be just as tense and dramatic in the next episodes.
A small promotional clip that was recently released for this season’s eight episode showed a new monster, the Chupacabra, which the episode is named after. Viewers may be familiar with the monster from popular legends, and it’s already been featured in other well-known TV shows, such as “The X-Files”.
In “Grimm”, the Chupacabra is shown attacking Portland and engaging people left and right, leaving it up to Nick and Hank to put an end to the terror. However, Nick will continue to have his visions, and the preview didn’t make it clear whether he’ll finally do or say something about it. This part of the plot has been the subject of some discussion by fans recently, and it would be interesting to finally see Nick opening up about the visions.
However, according to the official synopsis, he might not get a chance to do so, as Wu will apparently confront him about his situation, and try to find out what he has been seeing. Of course, this doesn’t mean that Nick will decide to admit his visions yet, although it’s obvious that the episode will at least move this sub-plot forward somewhat.
The story could realistically go both ways, as Nick has been shown to doubt his own sanity in this regard, and seems to be unsure of what he’s seeing himself. So, if he believes that his visions are a product of his imagination, he will likely choose to hide them from Wu. On the other hand, even if he does reveal the truth, it’s not clear if Wu will decide to help him. The trust between the two has been an interesting issue, something that the producers have been twisting in unusual ways throughout the episodes involving Nick’s visions, and fans have been wondering how this will end up.
The episode will also show Viktor and Adalind going on a separate trip, although the producers haven’t revealed much about that part of the episode yet. Judging from the synopsis and various previews that have been going around the Internet, it’s likely that this episode will be more focused on the sub-plot about Nick, Hank and Wu. Episode 8 airs tonight, so it won’t be long before fans of the show find out what will happen between Wu and Nick.
