Back in the hospital Wu is told that his blood has an anomaly in but he seems to be stable so he can go home, Nick and Hank offer to take him. When they reach Wu's apartment Wu tells them about the weird dreams he's been having and Nick tells him to call Rosalee (Bree Turner) if they don't stop.
Adalind hears Diana's voice asking where she is, then doubles over in pain. Eve/Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) is also in pain when Diana's voice says "You're not my Mommy" and her mirror cracks in the shape of a skull. Trubel and Meisner return and tell Eve that Black Claw has taken Diana and are using her to get to Adalind, Eve then tells them about feeling how powerful Diana is.

Nick, Hank, Eve, Meisner, and Trubel are all talking at HW. They tell Nick and Hank that Black Claw has Diana and they are using her to get to Adalind and that Adalind might leave and take Kelly with her. Nick and Hank leave for a crime scene.
At the scene it is revealed that the dead man is Theo Delano and that Wu never showed up to meet with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee. Nick and Hank go to Wu's apartment and find him covered in blood on the floor. Wu wakes up and can't remember what happened at first, he then remembers that he went to confront Theo Delano and that Theo attacked him. Nick tells him Theo is dead and they all go back to the crime scene. They investigate the truck Theo had been in and find a piece of paper with Wu's address on. Nick takes Wu to the spice shop while Hank gets a call from Zuri, who is then revealed to be working with Black Claw. At the spice shop Rosalee makes a drink that will help Wu remember what happened after Theo attacked him, and as he is recounting what happened he transforms again. Rosalee figures out that it might have been caused by the scratch he received when fighting the lycanthrope in a previous episode and that because he's not wesen it's affecting him differently. Wu wakes up and Rosalee explains this to him and that it's triggered by a fight or flight response and that he needs to try and stay calm while they look into it.
Trubel calls and tells them that Theo worked for Black Claw. While she's calling Nick, Eve walks in and says she needs to speak to him.

Critical reviews
Les Chappell of The A.V. Club said "This is a lot more than Reggie Lee’s ever been asked to do as part of the Grimm ensemble, and he rises to the challenge of being more than just comic relief admirably." He gave the show a B rating.[2]
Kathleen Wiedel of TV Fanatic gives a good review stating that she enjoyed the dialogue in this episode between Nick, Hank, and Wu and that "There's a lot to like about Grimm Season 5 Episode 19, which served as a day in the limelight for many Grimmsters' favorite character, the eternally snarky Sgt. Drew Wu."[3]
