Line 55:
** Probably non-German usage crossed with time in the same way an Asian-American may refer to themselves as Chinese or Japanese when the equivalent word in said language doesn't really have a translation.
* [[Blood Magic]]: Just so you're sure she’s evil, Adalind is shown using this in a cookie of all things.
* [[Bloody Murder]]: {{spoiler|The blood of a Grimm is poisonous to Hexenbiests. This is an odd case though, seeing as it doesn’t so much kill the victim so much as it kills their power}}.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: A borderline case. While Wesen typically do a good job of masking their presence by living according to human society's rules, many of them have deeply ingrained instincts and traditions which are at odds with human laws. This sometimes crosses over with simple [[Gray and Gray Morality]].
* [[Bodyguard Betrayal]]: Averted. When the cops were no longer watching Marie, Nick asked Monroe to keep an eye on Marie, despite knowing Monroe's dislike, hatred, and fear of Marie for what she and the previous Grimms did to his kind and other Wesen. When pointing this out to Nick, Nick replies Monroe is the only person Nick can trust with this. So despite his deep anger at the old woman and the fact that he could have killed her in the hospital bed, he did keep his word to protect her from two thugs.
Line 76:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The first Wesen Nick sees, Adalind, {{spoiler|is working with the forces attempting to kill off Marie, and almost succeeds at the end of the pilot}}.
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Ariel's {{spoiler|fire breathing act which ends with her eating fire. It hints at the fact that she's actually fireproof which comes into play at the end of the episode when she fakes her death}}.
* [[Civilian Villain]]: This trope is played with in the case of Monroe the Clockmaker. He is actually a fairy tale creature—a "Wesen"—of the same type as The Big Bad Wolf, but with a careful regimen of "diet, drugs, and
* [[Come with Me If You Want to Live]]: A very mild version of this happens in "Plumed Serpent".
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: When Nicks fighting a Daemonfeuer, he grabs a sheet of Copper to shield himself from the flames. This works without any of the realistic ramifications.
Line 103:
'''Renard''': Where should I send a thank-you note?}}
* [[Destructive Romance]]: Monroe and Angelina's relationship was depicted as this in episode six.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: In
** However, not all primates are hominids. So it would seem her notes were meant to show she thought the hair was from something which is similar to either but not actually fitting in either at the same time.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything]]:
Line 129:
** And in "Happily Ever Aftermath", several victims get their eyeballs ruptured by the Murcialago's sonic scream. Very bloodily, at that.

** "Beeware" is partly based on
** "Lonelyhearts" is based off satyrs, with the Grimm tie-in coming from the tale of
** "Danse Macabre" is based on
** "The Three Bad Wolves" is based on
** "Let Your Hair Down" is very loosely based on
** "Game Ogre" is loosely based on
** "Of Mouse and Man" is an aversion, since it's taken from [[John Steinbeck]]'s book ''[[Of Mice and Men]]''.
** "Organ Grinder" is based on
** "Tarantella" is based on the Japanese fairytale
** "Last Grimm Standing" is based on Androcles {{spoiler|but with the idea averted as the "lion" does not repay the kindness it was shown}}.
** "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau" has a quote from
** "Plumed Serpent" has a quote at the beginning from
** "Leave It to Beavers" is based on
** "Happily Ever Aftermath" is based on
** "Big Feet" is about Big Foot {{spoiler|but not really. It's more like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde}}, although the official website states that it was based off the story of
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Adalind Schade, and possibly all the hexenbeist who are said to be lovely in human form, and are loyal servants to royalty.
* [[Feuding Families]]:
