Several years and seasons ago, Grimm’s executive producers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf made a promise to rabid fans gathered at the show’s first San Diego Comic-Con appearance regarding the plot of the 100th episode, a chapter so far off and intangible at the time that they doubted it would ever even come to fruition. “Portland is geographically important in the Pacific Northwest and you just might be right [about Black Claw having plans for Renard].” Kouf adds, “Black Claw’s influence is reaching into more and more areas in their effort to upset the apple cart.” This admission harkens back to something Kouf declared earlier in the interview, when teasing that Adalind is “going to go through a shocking change,” and now seems like a warning of sorts for multiple characters.
