Grimm season 5 episode 15, titled "Skin Deep," follows Nick Burkhardt and his team of Wesen hunters as they investigate the murder of a high-end beauty guru who had been found dead in her office. The team discovers that the victim was a Blutbad, a wolf-like Wesen species, and they quickly realize that her murder was likely a revenge killing by a member of a rival tribe.
As they delve further into the case, they encounter a skin-stealer Wesen who was working at the beauty salon where the victim was killed. The skin-stealer, who can mimic the appearances of others by wearing their skin, is initially suspected of the murder but soon proves to be an ally to Nick and his team.
Nick is also dealing with personal issues as his relationship with Adalind reaches a crossroads. Adalind is struggling to adjust to her new life as a Hexenbiest and is growing increasingly distant from Nick. Nick must navigate his feelings for Adalind while continuing to protect the city of Portland from dangerous Wesen.
Meanwhile, Monroe and Rosalee face their own challenges as they prepare for the arrival of their first child. Rosalee is hesitant to let Monroe's mother, a strict Blutbad, into their lives while Monroe worries about how his mother will react to their mixed-species marriage.
Throughout the episode, the characters are forced to confront their own biases and fears as they grapple with the complexities of the Wesen world. "Skin Deep" is a thrilling and emotional episode that highlights the show's strengths in character development and world-building.
