Short summary

When Nick consults him about an erratic murder committed by athletic ex-con Dimitri Skontos, Monroe soon helps him realize that's actually a victim of 'gladiator games' organized by the most bloodthirsty pride of Löwen, a lionesque feral species. Nick spends his anniversary working out the fighters are recruited through a dodgy parole officer and where the arena is hidden. Captain Sean Renard realizes the lucrative fights are becoming too notorious, his royal order to close down the games is ignored, so he turns to a priestly enforcer. Meanwhile first Monroe, then Nick go undercover, only to end up caged and hence in the ring, facing daunting ferals.

The opening quote; "The beasts were loosed into the arena, and among them, a beast of huge bulk and ferocious aspect. Then the slave was cast in."; comes from Aesop's fable "The Slave and the Lion".

The plot alludes to the classical tale of Androcles and the Lion, though it doesn't follow to the same outcome.

Nick Chinlund plays a character called Leo Taymor who changes into a lion, Leo is the star sign represented by a lion. Essentially making the character lion Tamor, which is ironic as normal lion tamors control lions in a cage, where as here a lion is controlling other beasts in the cage.

    After the murder of a middle-aged couple in their house in the woods, the forensics find fingerprints and Nick and Hank investigate the case. The find that the fingerprints are from the criminal Dimitri Skontos that is on probation and is gone missing. Their further investigation shows that the case is related to illegal fights and Monroe is involved while helping Grimm.

    "Last Grimm standing" is another good episode of Grimm. Who is the priest summoned by Captain Sean Renard in the church? Poor Juliette, her dinner fails and her expression is heartbreaking. My vote is eight.
