Rosalee: "I just... I have this feeling something awful is going to happen."

Monroe: "That's the spirit."

 

Trubel: "What's up with this key he keeps talking about?"

Nick: "It's along story. It has to do with the Crusades and a bunch of knights who were Grimms who found something they thought no one else should have, so they buried it in the Black Forest and made a bunch of keys that had a map that supposedly leads to where it is. Is that enough?

Trubel: "Good enough for now."

 

Monroe: "Well we're one key closer to god knows what"

Rosalee: "I don't think we'll ever know."

Josh: "I don't think I want to know. But at least now I know my Dad wasn't crazy; unless all of you are."

(everyone looks at each other)

 

Best Moments:

 

 Trubel admitting she was almost raped and attacked by a Wesen.

The magical deviance all over Alexis Denisof's (Prince Viktor) sexy mug.

Not necessarily a best moment but the freakish moment where Hank almost legitimately got ran over by a member of the Verrat. That was extremely close for a TV show!

Everything about that fight with the Verrat members -- possibly the most intense fight in Grimm history.
