Ep 8. Chupacabra

Nick and Hank investigate a series of attacks that bear similarities to the myth of the Chupacabra. Meanwhile, Monroe and Rosalee finally decide to tie the knot but encounter some obstacles along the way.

The episode opens with Monroe and Rosalee discussing their upcoming wedding. They are excited to finally be getting married but are unsure about the logistics of planning a wedding as a human-Wesen couple. They turn to their friends for advice and support.

Meanwhile, Nick and Hank are called to investigate a series of attacks on livestock that have occurred around Portland. The wounds on the animals are mysterious and leave no clear indication of what could have caused them. As they continue to investigate, they begin to suspect that the attacks may be the work of a Chupacabra.

Nick and Hank consult with Monroe and Rosalee, who are experts on Wesen mythology, to learn more about the Chupacabra. They discover that the creature is known for preying on livestock and draining their blood. While many believe the Chupacabra to be a myth, the evidence in this case suggests that something is truly out there.

As they continue their investigation, Nick and Hank run into a creature that they believe to be the Chupacabra. They give chase but are unable to catch it, and it disappears into the night.

Meanwhile, Monroe and Rosalee are having trouble finding a venue for their wedding. They consider getting married at home, but their respective families have different expectations for the ceremony. Monroe's family wants a traditional Wesen wedding, while Rosalee's family wants a traditional human wedding. The couple is torn between trying to please everyone and following their own hearts.

Back on the case, Nick and Hank receive a break in the investigation when they discover that the attacks have been committed by a person, not a creature. They track down the suspect and apprehend him, revealing that he was using the myth of the Chupacabra to cover up his own gruesome crimes.

In the end, Monroe and Rosalee decide to have two separate ceremonies to appease both their families. They have a traditional Wesen ceremony for Monroe's family and a traditional human ceremony for Rosalee's family. The couple is overjoyed to finally be married and happy to have found a way to make everyone happy.

Overall, "Chupacabra" is an engaging and suspenseful episode of Grimm that explores the tensions between different cultural traditions and belief systems. The case itself is intriguing, and the show does a great job of building up the mystery surrounding the Chupacabra. The subplot involving Monroe and Rosalee's wedding adds a nice touch of humor and heart to the episode, giving viewers a chance to see the lighter side of the show's characters.
