Ep 7. The Bottle Imp

Nick and the rest of the Portland police force are on the hunt for a mysterious killer who's been targeting couples and leaving their decapitated heads in public places. Nick's big break in the case comes when he and Hank discover that all the victims had recently bought a strange bottle with a peculiarity: the owner of the bottle can sell it for any price they desire, but if they die while they own it, they'll go straight to hell.

Nick calls on Monroe for assistance in figuring out what kind of creature might be involved in the killings, and Monroe recognizes the legend of the bottle imp. According to German folklore, the bottle imp is a demon who appears in the form of an imp and offers to buy his way out of hell with the understanding that whoever owns the bottle will then be damned. The bottle imp is cursed to serve whoever currently owns the bottle, but he is always looking for ways to escape his fate. In the legend, owning the bottle becomes a curse as the owner tries to sell it to someone else before they die to avoid eternal damnation.

Nick manages to get his hands on the bottle but rapidly learns that it's a more complex issue than he initially thought. He quickly becomes the bottle's new owner and can hear the demon's voice in his mind.

The bottle becomes a dangerously seductive temptation for Nick as he grapples with various moral dilemmas surrounding his new ownership. When Nick attempts to sell the bottle to his boss to alleviate the desire to own it, things start to get out of hand. Nick realizes he is running out of time to unload the bottle, and someone else in Portland will undoubtedly be the next victim.

Meanwhile, Renard continues his search for Adalind, only to find her hiding in a secluded cabin. Adalind's extensive hexenbiest powers and her resentful attitude toward Renard end up leaving them in a precarious situation, leading to circumstances they both fear.

Nick and Hank set out to track down the killer and the bottle and prevent any more innocent lives from being destroyed in the process. The situation works toward ever more stressful heights before reaching a shocking and inevitable conclusion.
