Grimm Review: Breakfast in Bed (Season 6 Episode 6)

“Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been to be born at all.”

On Grimm Season 6 Episode 6, “Breakfast in Bed,” Renard bids farewell to Black Claw, and, in return, Meisner saves his life. Leaving Black Claw has its rewards!

This is the first time we’ve really seen Meisner as a ghost. Before, he’s been presented as if he is just in Renard’s head, leading most people (myself included) to believe that Renard was just going crazy due to guilt over everything he had done since joining Black Claw.

On Grimm Season 6 Episode 5, we learned that Meisner was a ghost, but we never really saw Meisner in action, ghost-wise. Now, we have and being a ghost means Meisner has some skills.

He blacked out the vision of two bad guys by waving his hand in front of their eyes. Yeah, I’m not entirely sure how it works either, but it’s cool.

In addition to the gazillion Meisner questions this development poses, Meisner being a ghost is also broadening the Grimm world. My memory isn’t the greatest, but I don’t think we’ve ever come across a ghost before.

Hopefully, we will have time to explore how exactly Meisner became a ghost (and how other people become ghosts), and if it is a permanent thing. Meisner could just be here to finish his mission and end Black Claw, and once that is done, he might go to a better place. On the other hand, he could be stuck as a ghost forever.

This is such a fun development, and I’m excited to see where things lead. I’d love to see Meisner interact with someone other than Renard. Are you enjoying Meisner’s ghostly return?

The case of the week is a bit strange. Charles Lynk laughing maniacally at the end is beyond creepy, and it also did not make any sense. But hey, at least Monroe got to go out into the field and act as bait again! That’s always entertaining.

I have a feeling that a lot of my reviews for this season are going to sound the same.

There’s a super boring case of the week that is okay, nothing special. The problem is that no one cares when it’s the final season, and there’s the mystery of the cloth and stick to solve.

But hey, WE ACTUALLY GOT AN ANSWER ABOUT THE CLOTH!

The symbols are stars and constellations! They cloth serves as a calendar, and whatever it is foretelling will occur on March 24. Any theories on what the cloth is predicting?

We actually know something about this cloth. I should not be this excited to finally get an answer, but I am. It feels like I’ve been waiting ages to know something, anything, about that piece of fabric.

In addition to the sheer joy of progress, it is a lot of fun watching Eve and Rosalee (and Monroe for a bit) work together. It would have been nice to maybe also see Eve and Rosalee catch up and discuss some personal matters, but I’ll take cloth answers over idle chit-chat any day.

Now that we finally know something, the cloth/stick mystery is rejuvenated a bit. It’s a little bit more exciting now that we’ve moved on from staring at the symbols. In order to keep a mystery entertaining, you have to answer one batch of questions and then introduce a whole new set.

Speaking of new questions… In addition to what happens on March 24, I’m curious as to how all the symbols ended up on the cloth. Were they written down at once, or was this cloth like handed down over generations?

I’m honestly not sure, but like Monroe, Eve, and Rosalee discussed, there’s Sumerian and Mayan symbols on this cloth, and unless we’re going with the wormhole theory, those symbols could not have been written at the same time.

Maybe the stick somehow writes the symbols or the keeper of the stick? Okay, now I’m just throwing out random theories. I’ll stop now. Do you have any theories on how the symbols ended up on the cloth?
