Tonight’s special two hour episode of Grimm starts off with Adalind meeting with the Prince. He wants a list of everyone who she thinks may have been involved in his brother’s death.
Back in Portland a man is ransacking someone’s home, and taking anything valuable. The homeowner returns, and finds their house a complete mess. The intruder is still in the house. The man that owns the house tries to defend himself with a kitchen knife, but the intruder transforms into a beast and overpowers him.
Nick and Hank arrive at the crime scene, the homeowner has been slaughtered. Nick realizes that the attacker had to be big, and very strong. They head back to the office to do some research. They realize that there have been multiple break-ins in the neighborhood, but this is the first time the homeowner has arrived during the break-in.
Nick talks to the medical examiner. According to her the cause of death was a broken neck, and that his attacker literally shook him to death. That is why his arm was torn off.
A construction worker is lowered into a drainage pipe. He finds a huge blockage, a tree branch. He radios up for a chain saw to remove it. He hears footsteps, someone else is underground with him. His crew tries to pull him back up when they hear a strange noise. They pull the rope back up, but the construction worker is dead, and missing a leg.
Back in Vienna Renard and Sebastien are receiving a package. The messenger reveals that Renard’s cousin Prince Victor is in town, and wants to meet with him.
Nick and Hank arrive at the drainage pipe, where the construction worker was murdered underground. Nick, Hank, and Sgt. Wu head underground into the sewer pipes to investigate the scene of death. They locate the construction workers severed leg, and several other random purses and backpacks. They head back to the office and trace all of the items they found underground to burglaries that have been reported recently. They also find Scott, the murdered homeowner’s gym card in the pipes.
Nick and Hank head to Monroe’s to see what he thinks about the beast they are looking for. Monroe thinks the beast may be an alligator Wesen, known as a Gelumcaedus. Juliette, Rosalee, Monroe, Nick, and Hank hit the Grimm books to learn more about the Gelumcaedus. They date back to historic Rome where they were trained to guard the aqueducts. There is a special weapon known as a “vambrace” that is used to defeat Gelumcaedus, luckily Nick has one of those weapons. Now, Nick and Hank are going to have to head back down underground and find the beast so they can stop it. Nick thinks Gelumcaedus uses the tunnels as getaways after he breaks into houses. Nick heads back to his trailer to grab the vambrace before they head underground. Nick has a flashback when he puts on the weapon, of when he was zombified.
Nick and Hank are suit up and head into the tunnel where they think the Gelumcaedus may be hiding. They are able to track down the beast, but he is too fast, and they lose him. Nick decides to retrace his steps. Nick stops when he hears ticking, coming from a secret, concealed door in the tunnel wall. Against Hank’s wishes the pair enters the secret door. And find a room filled with hundreds of stolen clocks and other valuables. They also locate the Gelumcaedus. Thankfully Nick has on the vambrace and they are able to subdue the beast.
In Vienna a man is being beaten and interrogated. Renard is introduced to the man doing the beating, he saved Renard’s mother once.
Back in Portland, Nick and Hank have brought the Gelumcaedus into questioning, his name is Gregoric. He is a professional burglar, and has a buyer down in Florida. He is less than cooperative, he is cocky and tells Nick to stop “bothering him.” Hank heads home, but Nick stays to do some more investigating. When Hank arrives at home, Nick gives him a call and tells him that he thinks there are two Gelumcaedas. Some of the robberies were at the same time, and there is no way Gregoric could be in two places at once.
As soon as Hank hangs up the phone with Nick, a Gelumcaedus appears behiing him and hits him over the head. He drags his unconscious body back to the sewer. Nick was right. Gregoric has a partner.
Nick heads to Hank’s house, but he doesn’t answer the door. Nick receives a phone call, from Gregoric’s partner. He tells Nick he wants to make an exchange, he will give Hank back when Nick brings Gregoric back. Nick grabs Gregoric from his jail cell and heads to the sewer pipes. They head down into the pipes to make the exchange.
Nick is in trouble though. Gregoric didn’t have just one partner, he had three. They are all brothers. They plan to kill Nick. Hank gets free and helps Nick defeat the Gelumcaedus. They save Gregoric so they can take him back to precinct and charge him with the recent murders.

They take their loot back under the bridge where they obviously live, and begin destroying the Christmas presents. Santa Claus crashes their party. But, it’s not your average Santa.

Rosalee feels terrible about ruining Monroe’s Christmas. She has tea with Juliette and confesses how bad she feels about Monroe’s Christmas decorations.
Nick and Hank head to Monroe’s house to get his insight on the Santa Claus kidnappings. They mention the coal and Monroe realizes they are referring to “Krampus.” According to legend Krampus takes all the “naughty” boys and girls to the tallest tree in town, and then he hangs them from the tree and beats them with a whip. At midnight he eats them.
Nick, Hank, and Monroe try to find “the tallest tree in the tallest spot” to stop Krampus from eating Quinn and the other kids. They head out in the woods, with their annoying friend Bud, and pick up the Krampus’s tracks. Nick hears the kids’ voices. They find a tree with half a dozen kids hanging from it in little wooden baskets. Hank, Bud, and Monroe cut the kids down while Nick heads into the woods to find the Krampus. Krampus overpowers Nick, and chokes him. Nick’s face turns into a zombie, and he takes Krampus down with once hit. Hank, Monroe, and Bud arrive. At midnight, the krampus transforms into a man. The man has no idea where he is, and he has no idea what he is. He is from Salt Lake City and has no recollection of what happened. He says that he blacks out every December, until Winter Solstice. Nick wants to turn the case over to the Wesen Council, because he knows he will never get a conviction on court. Hank and Monroe agree.
Monroe heads home, and finds his entire living-room decked out in Christmas decorations again. Rosalee felt guilty about Monroe taking them down, so she hung them all back up.
