Opening quote: "I have been bent and broken, but, I hope, into a better shape."
The group goes outside of the warehouse and Nick (David Giuntoli) runs off to find Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) to explain Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) appearance. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) is called by Rosalee (Bree Turner) to discuss the problem with Xavier (Robert Clendenin).
Nick confronts Trubel for answers. She reveals Chavez knew that Juliette was a Hexenbiest and wanted to turn her into a weapon. But Trubel adds she wasn't sure if Juliette survived what Hadrian's Wall had in store for her. Feeling guilty, Trubel meets with Meisner (Damien Puckler) in secret and gets him to agree to let Nick meet Juliette, at a time and place of his choosing. Meanwhile, Monroe, Rosalee, Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Hank interrogate Xavier, who reveals the Wesen gang had its sights set on Nick and Monroe. Xavier adds that any Wesen who doesn't join them in their mission will be killed.
Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Renard bring Xavier to the precinct and throw him into a cell until he can be placed in protective custody. Their plan is foiled when Lucien Petrovitch (Bailey Chase), Black Claw's leader, sends a hitman to kill Xavier. The assassin poses as a drunk and gets thrown in a jail cell alongside Xavier. He woges and kills Xavier in plain sight. A cop witnesses the woge and shoots him dead before Nick, Hank, Wu (Reggie Lee) and Renard can intervene.
