The huge question going into Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star season five episode 12 is will all the characters fans have grown to know and love survive. Could someone be killed off in episode 12, the series finale? Rob Lowe spoke to Entertainment Weekly about that possibility but didn’t give away any spoilers.

“Is there a world where Owen dies heroically? Does he live, does he not? And same for everybody else,” said Lowe. “This is a show where it’s totally organic on any given day that any one of these characters could have something really bad happen to them. I mean, that’s not pushed reality — it’s the reality of what first responders go through. So we were debating, ‘Do we want to push that button…...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 9.9-1-1: Lone Star returns to Fox on Monday, January 20 with only three installments left in its run. Season 5, episode 9, "Fall From Grace," served as the winter finale and put to rest several ongoing storylines that kept fans on the edge of their seats. After spending the past year obsessing over his father's murder case, Carlos finally receives closure. He discovers that Chief Bridges killed Gabriel and Ranger Campbell had been set up to take the fall. Carlos is last seen visiting his father's grave, proclaiming that he's ready to be a parent to Jonah alongside Tk.

The season's biggest shake-up occurred when series regular, Sierra McClain, exited Lone Star ahead of the final batch of episodes. Judd reveals that his wife is volunteering with Mercy Ships, a real organization that sends hospital ships to those who need medical care.

Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star returns after the winter holidays with season five episode 10, an episode that has Owen worried about Judd’s sobriety. Episode 10, “All Who Wander,” will air on Monday, January 20, 2025 at 8pm Et/Pt.

Rob Lowe leads the cast as Captain Owen Strand, Ronen Rubinstein stars as T.K., Gina Torres plays Paramedic Captain Tommy Vega, and Jim Parrack is Judd Ryder. Natacha Karam plays Marjan Marwani, Brian Michael Smith is Paul Strickland, Julian Works is Mateo Chavez, Rafael Silva plays Carlos Reyes, and Brianna Baker is Nancy Gillian. Sierra McClain did not return for the fifth season.

“All Who Wander” Plot: Judd literally walks straight into the line of fire when an armory catches on fire, sending bullets flying everywhere. Owen questions Judd’s pledge of sobriety. Marjan introduces her boyfriend Joe (guest star John Clarance Stewart) to her visiting parents, Waleed (Michael Benyaer...

With only three episodes left in its run, 9-1-1: Lone Star returns to Fox on January 20 at 8 p.m. Et. Season 5, episode 9, titled "Fall From Grace," closes an ongoing story by revealing Chief Bridges as Gabriel's killer and presents a new one when Owen receives an offer from the New York Fire Department. However, after realizing that Judd is in a much darker place than he's let on, Captain Strand decides to stay put.

When speaking with ScreenRant about 9-1-1: Lone Star's fall finale, co-showrunner and executive producer, Rashad Raisani, teases that fans will have to wait and see where Rob Lowe's character ends up. However, he confirms that Judd's crisis is now the present danger, and Owen is serious about passing up the opportunity to prioritize his former lieutenant. Read Raisani's full quote...

The new year brings a harrowing new mega-disaster for Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) and Firehouse 126 to battle when 9-1-1: Lone Star kicks off its three-part series finale in January. While the impending cataclysm may never eclipse the amusing lunacy of a Sharknado-like invasion of killer bees in the mothership, 9-1-1, the notion of Strand and his team fighting an asteroid heading for Earth is too ridiculous to avoid.

Adding to the intrigue, the final three episodes come almost two months after Season 5, Episode 9, "Fall From Grace," dramatically bridging the insufferable suspense as the popular 9-1-1 spinoff concludes. For a network procedural meant to appeal to a broad audience, Lone Star is at its best when it goes full-on...

Many were concerned about how 9-1-1: Lone Star would handle Sierra McClain's exit in season 5, and, unfortunately, her character's absence has led to some problems that could make Grace the villain. The Fox procedural drama TV show created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear is a spinoff of 9-1-1. It premiered in January 2020 and follows a group of first responders living in Austin, Texas, including McClain's Grace, who has been around since season 1.

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 returns in 2025 with its final three episodes, starting on Monday, January 20, at 8 pm Et on Fox. Its series finale will air on February 3.

Unfortunately, McClain's Grace left 9-1-1: Lone Star in season 5 as the actress decided to exit the series. So, the writers had to figure out a way to write Grace out in a way that would satisfy the audience and...

Angelina Jolie’s performance in Maria eases her return to the award nomination lineup, demonstrating the actress never lost her hypnotizing craft despite her participation in less demanding movies. Coming back to bring opera singer, Maria Callas, to the screen, Jolie delivers a portrayal as exquisite as the artist’s immortal voice recordings, making her a leading contender for the best actress category of the Oscars 2025. Having recently played charismatic characters in Eternals, Maleficent, and the Kung Fu Panda franchise, some viewers might have forgotten Jolie’s outstanding past performances, but Maria is far from being her first Oscar-worthy execution.

The actress is no stranger to great biopic movies, as her characterization of Mariane Pearl in A Mighty Heart garnered her a Critics Choice Award nomination. Additionally, she knows the role of a tortured celebrity all too well, having won a Golden Globe for her embodiment of real-life supermodel, Gia Carangi.

9-1-1: Lone Star, which began in 2020, follows the work and personal lives of first responders in Austin, Texas. Fire Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) leads the team at Firehouse 126, along with the paramedic captain of the house, Tommy Vega (Gina Torres), and they work closely with police officers at the Austin Police Department, the Texas Rangers, and 9-1-1 dispatchers to care for the people of Austin. As the show wraps its fifth and final season, it has begun to bring its biggest storylines to a close, and no storyline has needed it more than that of Carlos and Gabriel Reyes.

Carlos Reyes (Rafael L. Silva) was first an Apd officer but, as of Season 5, Episode 1, "Both Sides, Now," has transitioned to being a Texas Ranger. Married to T.K. Strand (Ronen Rubenstein), a paramedic and the son of Owen Strand, Carlos has spent the bulk of 9-...

9-1-1: Lone Star wrapped its five-season run by revealing that Chief Bridges (Alan Autry) killed Gabriel Reyes (Benito Martinez) and set up Ranger Campbell (Parker Young) to take the fall. Executive producer Rashad Raisani recently explained why Bridges was the perfect character to carry out the ultimate betrayal.

"We knew that the betrayal had to hit as close to home as possible because the person Carlos trusted the most would be the only person who could have kept it from him this long," Raisani told Screen Rant. "And frankly, we also wanted somebody of Alan Autry's gravitas. He was the only person capable of pulling the wool over Gabriel's eyes also."

9-1-1:...

Carlos (Rafael L. Silva) finally got the closure he so badly needed in his father’s death after discovering that Chief Bridges (Alan Autry) was actually the corrupt Ranger. The fall finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star put the pieces together with Ranger Campbell (Parker Young), whom Carlos previously accused of his father’s murder, now in the clear. “Fall From Grace,” the ninth episode of Season 5, aired on Monday, December 2, and is described as such:...

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 9, "Fall From Grace."

Even though many things were going on in the 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 finale, one of the standout moments concerned Judd and how he had been dealing with Grace's frustrating exit. As many know, Sierra McClain, who began playing Grace in season 1 of the Fox procedural drama, exited the series ahead of season 5 (reportedly due to contract negotiations). So, the writers had to cut Grace from the final season's story. Unfortunately, though, Grace's 9-1-1: Lone Star exit was so disappointing, thanks to one glaring issue, and the fall finale surely didn't fix the character's upsetting departure.

Following the season 5 fall finale, 9-1-1: Lone Star is going on a seven-week hiatus before returning on Monday, January 20, 2025, at 8 pm Et on Fox. Then, only one episode remains until...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 9 “Fall From Grace.”] When 9-1-1: Lone Star began, Owen (Rob Lowe) was in New York. A job offer then brought him and his son, T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein), to Austin, where he helped rebuild the 126 after a tragedy. And it’s starting to look like his journey could take him full circle. In the fall finale, he was presented with a job offer: New York City fire chief. As the daughter of a firefighter he worked with explains, the current chief is resigning because since the pandemic, buildings are empty so firehouses are closing, salaries are being slashed, and recruitment and morale are down. A poll was taken for who could pull them out of this, and Owen’s name came up more than any other. While she knows people depend on him in Austin, she has to ask: Who needs him more? This arc allowed ...

The pieces are quickly clicking into place as 9-1-1: Lone Star comes closer to its swan song.

And it seems 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 9 was intent on wrapping up the case of Gabriel Reyes’ murder and finally elaborating on Judd’s drinking issue.

Also, we can anticipate where Owen will find himself by the end of the series.

(Kevin Estrada/Fox)

When you have a series like this coming to a close in a mostly unexpected way, what results is a bunch of storytelling that can seem sporadic with the sole purpose of getting us to the finish line of completion.

And “Fall From Grace” was one of those installments where it felt like they had that sticking point in their minds that they needed some of these storylines to wrap up or place characters on specific paths.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 9 “Fall From Grace.”] How has Judd (Jim Parrack) been doing without Grace on 9-1-1: Lone Star? In two words: not well. As Owen (Rob Lowe) discovers after bringing him home after a night out, Judd has been drinking—there are bottles everywhere. Judd’s been hungover, not sick, at work, but he swears he’s never been drunk on the job. It started after Grace left, Judd admits, because he lost his “center.” He can stop cold turkey, he promises, it’s just a rough patch. It’s been five months, Owen argues. Judd protests that he’s acknowledging the problem. But now Owen’s decided not to take a job offer in New York and insists on taking Judd to a meeting.

The bad news: The truth about what happened is a tough pill to swallow. But 9-1-1: Lone Star, in its last fall finale, delivers answers and ends its 2024 on a promising note for Tarlos. Though it looked like Carlos’ new partner Campbell (Parker Young) was dirty and had sold out criminal informants then killed Gabriel Reyes, he was, in fact, set up by Chief Bridges (Alan Autry). Campbell then saved Carlos’ life, taking out Bridges when he had no choice, during a standoff with the Rangers. “At the end of 508, I thought I was a bad guy,” ...

After a five-year run, 9-1-1: Lone Star is coming to an end with the series finale set to air on Monday, February 3. Season 5, episode 9, "Fall From Grace," addresses the show's most lingering questions, including how Judd is coping with his wife's absence. Former series regular, Sierra McClain, did not return for the final batch of episodes, resulting in Grace being written out of the series. Judd explains in the season 5 premiere that she elected to join Mercy Ships, a real Christian charity that provides medical help to those in need.

The timing is inconvenient due to their toddler, but Judd has continuously expressed pride over her decision. However, the fall finale reveals that he downplayed the impact of Grace's absence and has turned to alcohol to cope. When speaking with ScreenRant, co-showrunner and executive producer, Rashad Raisani,...

Is there an Edible Arrangement big enough to properly say, “I’m sorry for accusing you of killing my dad”? If so, Carlos owes one to Ranger Campbell after the fall finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star.

To make a long story (very) short, Monday’s episode revealed that Chief Bridges was the real crooked Ranger — but only after Campbell went on the run, Carlos got shot, and Campbell’s wife was hauled downtown on suspicion of conspiracy. (No wonder she shot daggers at Carlos when she saw him at the hospital. She really didn’t know anything!)

As Fox airs the last season of 9-1-1: Lone Star, the show has issues to address to wrap up its story, but the series cannot fix one of its biggest mistakes before the finale. The procedural drama is a spinoff of the hit show 9-1-1, which moved from Fox to ABC in 2024 and is in the midst of airing its eighth season. While 9-1-1 has excelled following its transition, 9-1-1: Lone Star is ending after season 5. Some hope that the characters will live on in other 9-1-1 shows, but for now, their stories will end during the season 5 finale.

The fall finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star, "Fall From Grace," season 5 airs on December 2 at 8 pm Et on Fox, and will return on January 20, 2025, at the same time. Meanwhile, the series finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star is scheduled for February 3.

Everything Carlos has been working towards for the past several months is within reach. However, he could not have anticipated what he discovered in 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, Episode 8, "The Quiet Ones," when he learned that Campbell was dirty. His feelings about the information are complicated because he fails to see how someone he's known to be upstanding could be dirty. However, there is a possibility that he could be, and this struggle is what Carlos deals with in Episode 9, "Fall From Grace." The episode's logline below teases Carlos' goal, among other arcs for the episode.

Lou Pearlman's rise in the music industry was fueled by his fraudulent schemes, robbing his clients of their earnings. The Backstreet Boys and *Nsync eventually took legal action against Pearlman, severing ties after years of deception. Pearlman's criminal actions caught up to him, resulting in a 25-year prison sentence and eventual death in 2016.

Whether it was leather jackets, chunky boots, or baggy cargo pants, the Y2K era was filled with memorable moments, but the trendsetters behind those fashion choices already swept fans off their feet in the mid-90s. The world-famous boy bands the Backstreet Boys and *Nsync rose to stardom during that time, but the puppet master behind their massive success was their manager, Lou Pearlman. While Pearlman was supposed to ensure fair treatment and the bands steady success, he was exposed as the person behind one of the largest Ponzi schemes, laundering money and engaging in other frauds.

Daredevil's new Ghost Rider-inspired form is one of his most unforgettable reimaginings in Marvel Comics. The cover art for Daredevil #9 showcases a nightmare come to life, with the hero possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance. The fusion of Daredevil and Ghost Rider calls back to his Hellspawn doppelganger from the '90s, and teases potential for a story highlighting Matt Murdock's angelic and demonic nature.

Daredevil’s new Ghost Rider-inspired form has been revealed, and is one of his most unforgettable reimaginings ever seen in Marvel Comics. Some time has passed since Marvel debuted The “Hellverine,” a fierce Wolverine/Ghost Rider mashup who will spin off into their own title later this year. And to celebrate, Marvel is releasing a series of variant covers showcasing its heroes possessed by the same Spirit of Vengeance.

Most outstanding among them is the cover art for Daredevil #9, fusing the iconic...

Part of the beauty of the "Star Wars" universe is how big and populated it is. Not only did the original trilogy deliver groundbreaking visual effects, but George Lucas wrote enough backstory and worldbuilding while working on the first film to sustain decades' worth of "Star Wars" movies. That worldbuilding also resulted in hundreds of smaller background characters that became overnight fan favorites once the movies — and the merchandise — started arriving. Even the most inconsequential one-off characters suddenly became beloved by audiences despite there being little to no official information available about them — at least, until we got entire novels and books devoted to every Glup Shitto and Max Rebo out there.

Of course, not every character gets that treatment. In fact, there is one character we only know the name of because the actor decided to take matters into his own hands during shooting — Quarsh Panaka. You remember that guy,...

2023 has, overall, felt like an up year at the box office. We've had massive hits like "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" that helped deliver a monster summer movie season, we've had original films like Wes Anderson's "Asteroid City" find their audience, and horror has reigned supreme with the likes of "M3GAN" and "Five Nights at Freddy's" putting a lot of butts in seats. Disney, however, has had a down year and, as evidence of that, not a single one of the studio's mega-budget blockbusters released this year will cross the $1 billion mark.

Disney's highest-grossing movie of the year is director James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," which topped out at $845 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. That makes it the fourth highest-grossing movie of the year behind "Oppenheimer" ($950 million), "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" ($1.36 billion), and "Barbie" ($1.44 billion). From there, it's a steep drop-off, with Disney's next biggest...

Marvel's Daredevil: Black Armor resurrects a 1990s concept and delivers a compelling story that showcases the depth of the character. The issue, written by Dg Chichester and illustrated by Netho Diaz, takes place during the "Black Armor" era and features Daredevil's pursuit of human traffickers. This story not only pays homage to the past but also hints at future Daredevil stories, proving that the Black Armor era had potential that was overlooked in its time.

Warning: contains spoilers for Daredevil: Black Armor #1!

Marvel’s new Daredevil: Black Armor takes an “extreme” concept from the 1990s and gives it new depth. The early part of the decade saw both DC and Marvel shake up the status quo of a number of their most popular characters, Daredevil among them. The resulting storyline, Fall From Grace, took Daredevil in a new direction, including a new secret identity and sleek, black armor. Now, the...

Jujutsu Kaisen garnered a huge fanbase when it premiered its engaging first season in 2021. With its mix of exciting fighting sequences, magic system, and memorable characters the anticipation for the second season was quite high. The second season is split into two parts with the first focusing on fan-favorite Gojo and best friend turned villain Geto, which was teased in the Jujutsu Kaisen movie. Jujtsu Kaisen Season Two Part 1 promised to explore the catalyst behind Geto's downfall into darkness. Unfortunately, it proved to be another failed Fall to Madness Arc.

The misstep is not unique to Jujutsu Kaisen. The rapid deterioration of Geto's stability, most of which happens off-screen, is an echo of the same flaws that were found in Scarlet Witch and most famously Daenerys Targaryen during the Season 8 Game of Thrones episode titled, "The Bells." The rushed madness arc has left audiences across various mediums feeling both confused and dissatisfied.

Coming in November, readers will get the chance to see Daredevil return to his '90s armored costume once again, with a new miniseries set within D.G. Chichester's run. A four-issue limited series, Daredevil: Black Armor puts Matt Murdock back into the black armored suit that has divided fans for decades.

Daredevil: Black Armor comes from Chichester, Netho Diaz and Jp Mayer, with amazing cover art from Mark Bagley and a gorgeous variant cover from Rafael Grassetti. The series will see innocents vanishing into New York's underground, with Matt Murdock throwing on his armor to bring them home safe. The series includes villains such as Hobgoblin and Sabretooth, and promises "nonstop intense action and brutal fighting in extreme '90s fashion." It seems this story is specifically designed to show why Daredevil needed his armor, and will test the protective costume to its limits.

Daredevil's black armor was part of a trend in the early 1990s to overhaul iconic characters in new and shocking ways. The black armor made sense for Daredevil's dangerous work, providing him with greater protection. Despite the hate it received, Daredevil's black armor gave the character a much-needed edge and is returning to silence the haters for good.

Daredevil’s most controversial costume has returned to silence the haters once and for all. For most of his career, Daredevil’s bright red suit has been one of his trademarks, but for a brief period in the early 1990s, he wore a decidedly different outfit, one that provoked fan ire at the time. Now writer D.G. Chichester, who guided Daredevil’s adventures during this time, returns with a brand-new miniseries, titled Daredevil: Black Armor.

Marvel revealed more details about Daredevil: Black Armor #1 at its retailer panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.

Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel kicked off their much-anticipated co-headlining tour Friday night at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, and while both artists delivered their own concerts’ worth of music, they each appeared for a song during the other’s set.

Early in Nicks’ set, Joel shuffled onstage to contribute the Tom Petty part on the classic “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Midway through Joel’s 21-song set, Nicks appeared to sing his ballad “And So It Goes.”

While Joel’s set was an abridged version of his monthly Madison Square Garden concerts,...

Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel kicked off their “Two Icons, One Night” co-headlining tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Friday night.

Marking the start of a nine-date outing together, the night was highlighted by a pair of surprise duets between the legendary musicians. Joel joined Nicks on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” and Nicks returned the favor by guesting on “And So It Goes.”

Nicks also paid tribute to late Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie with a performance of “Landslide.” “I have to imagine she’s still here. It’s all I can do,” Nicks said through tears.

Watch video from the show and see Nicks’ and Joel’s respective setlists below.

Woody Allen says that he intends to retire from directing after his next movie, "Wasp 22," which is set in Paris and will begin filming later this month. 

The news broke in an interview with Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia (via Variety), where the 86-year-old Allen said that "my idea, in principle, is not to make more movies and focus on writing." The "in principle" suggests that these retirement plans are not entirely fixed, and may potentially be a "retirement" in the Hayao Miyazaki sense of the word. For now, though, Allen's intention is to finish his current film and then focus on writing a novel. 

This announcement isn't entirely out of the blue. In an interview with Alec Baldwin livestreamed on Instagram earlier this year, Allen indicated that his retirement from filmmaking was imminent, pointing to the decline of the theatrical experience as the reason: 

"I'll probably make at least one more movie.

Earlier this year, Film at Lincoln Center announced Cate Blanchett as the recipient of the organization’s 47th Chaplin Award, presented earlier this week (April 25) at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Congrats to her, and in the lead-up to this event, Blanchett appeared on The Film Comment Podcast to discuss her entire career.

While she touched upon many great classic works of the past, including Todd Haynes‘ “I’m Not There” (where she played a version of Bob Dylan) and Jim Jarmusch‘s “Coffee & Cigarettes” (where she played two versions of herself), one of the most exciting parts of the conversation centered on her future projects Pedro Almodóvar‘s “A Manual For Cleaning Women,” and Todd Field‘s long-awaited new feature “Tár,” his first film since 2006’s “Little Children.

Why stay in your lane when you can veer into other roadways with your own turbo-charged vehicles? With “A Fall from Grace,” mogul Tyler Perry swerves back and forth between his usual woman-centered melodrama and a quasi-thriller. Shot over just five days in late 2019,

As is his intriguing way, however, Perry delivers some grace notes with the casting. Crystal Fox is especially compelling when playing the title character in her jailhouse state, defeated and shell-shocked. Over the years, a number of stellar female actors have tithed their time to the church of Tyler Perry. Here it’s Perry regulars Cicely Tyson, in an understated but pivotal turn, touching for its frailty, and Phylicia Rashad as Grace’s deeply supportive best friend, Sarah.

We first learn about Grace Waters from incessant chatter on the car radio as 26-year-old public defender Jasmine Bryant heads to the office. Bresha Webb plays the reluctant...

When “Episodes” premieres its final season at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, April 30, it will mark the first time new episodes have aired in over two years. The Season 4 finale of Matt LeBlanc’s scathing Hollywood satire debuted in March 2015, and even though the award-winning Showtime comedy has taken year-plus breaks before, we still don’t have an official release date from Showtime for Season 5.

If the wait has been hard on fans, they should know the creators are pained, as well.

“It’s been torturous, actually,” co-creator Jeffrey Klarik said in an interview with IndieWire. “We finished on June 3 [2016]. The show is done and ready to air. As soon as Showtime finds a time for us, we’ll be on.”

“We can’t wait to get back on the air,” fellow co-creator David Crane said. “It’s been a drawn out process because Jeffrey and I write all the episodes.

Disgraced former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted in 2015 of murdering his friend Odin Lloyd, has been found dead after hanging himself in his prison cell, Massachusetts corrections officials say.

Hernandez was found unresponsive in his cell at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts, about 3 a.m. Wednesday, according to a statement from the state Department of Correction.

“Mr. Hernandez was in a single cell in a general population unit,” the statement reads. “ hanged himself utilizing a bedsheet that he attached to his cell window. Mr. Hernandez also attempted to block his door from the inside by jamming the door with various items.

Grimm‘s Diana may be the cutest — yet creepiest — little supernatural Ob-gyn around.

In this exclusive sneak peek at Friday’s episode (NBC, 8/7c), Adalind’s daughter still isn’t happy about seeing Nick impersonate her daddy so well. But she’s distracted when she walks by Rosalee and Monroe… and abruptly stops, eye-level with Rosalee’s abdomen.

“You have a baby in you,” the little girl says. Then, “No, not a baby.”

Um, what? As the panicked parents-to-be start to seriously lose their stuff, Diana...

Need to catch up? Check out the previous Grimm recap here.

If this week’s Grimm has a lesson to impart, it’s that even when you’re fighting heinous evil, there’s always time for a little slapstick.

While the supernatural drama doesn’t go full Three Stooges on us in “Oh Captain, My Captain” — there is, after all, a power-hungry mayor-elect to take down — it certainly saved its zaniest installment in recent memory for star David Giuntoli to direct.

It’s a little silly, sure, but it’s also fun to see Grimm ham it up a little in its final season.

Capt. Renard continues to keep in the Grimm gang in his sights in this week’s episode, and it’s not looking good for Nick & Co. — just in case you thought David Giuntoli‘s directorial debut would be a fanciful bottle episode or a lighthearted musical romp.

As the exclusive sneak peek from tonight’s hour (NBC, 8/7c) shows us, Nick & Co. are hard at work in the Spice Shop basement when the cops case the place — and nearly nab Monroe in the process. After they leave, the Blutbad makes tracks to his pals downstairs, and they mobilize quickly.
