Opening quote: "Awake, arise, or be forever fall'n."
Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) tells Nick (David Giuntoli) about Hadrian's Wall, the resistance group Agent Chavez worked with and that she now works for. They are fighting an underground war against Black Claw, the organization coordinating the global Wesen uprising. Nick, Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Wu (Reggie Lee) are called to investigate a case of vandalism, murder, and kidnapping. At the scene, they find another claw mark drawn on the wall. They suspect the victims are Wesen, which Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Bud (Danny Bruno) confirm.
Monroe explains that many historical revolts were instigated by Wesen. The kidnapped victim, Xavier (Robert Clendenin) — a friend of Monroe and Rosalee — returns, claiming he escaped, and points them to a woman, Billie (Madeline Brewer). Nick and Hank come clean to Renard about Chavez's death and her last message: "They're coming to Portland, it's war." After Nick, acting as a Grimm, threatens Billie, she leads Nick, Hank, Renard (Sasha Roiz), and Monroe to the gang's location.
