"Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

Zerstörer has killed everyone in the precinct, except for Nick, who is beaten up but alive. When Nick wakes up and sees Zerstörer is gone, he goes to Hank and tries to revive him using the stick, but it has no effect. He then goes to Wu and tries to heal him as well, but again to no avail. Trubel runs into the precinct and takes in what has happened. Nick says they need to find and kill Zerstörer, and since bullets were totally ineffective on him, Trubel says they'll have to do it "the way our ancestors did" and cut off his head.

Adalind and Renard continue to hide in the Postman's cabin along with Rhett, Diana and Kelly. Nick phones Adalind and tells her and Renard what has happened. Adalind tells Nick that, according to Diana, Zerstörer wants both Diana and Kelly alive and Rhett killed. Nick gives Trubel his car keys and tells her to go to the cabin to protect Adalind, Renard, and the children while Nick goes to the Spice Shop to join Monroe, Rosalee, and Eve.

In the spice shop, Monroe, Rosalee, and Eve furiously search the Grimm books in hopes of discovering some way to vanquish Zerstörer. Eventually, Monroe finds a text describing killing evil via the "strength of one's blood", and Rosalee is reminded of a potion named Force du Sang which may do what they need. Force du Sang is very difficult to make, as it requires blood from a Hexenbiest, another Wesen, and a Grimm, all added into the mixture simultaneously. As Rosalee prepares the Force du Sang with help from Monroe and Eve, Nick enters the shop and breaks the news to them about Zerstörer's attack at the precinct. Monroe and Rosalee head out for the cabin with the potion, leaving Nick and Eve in the shop. Just then, Zerstörer shows up in the shop and attacks Nick. Eve charges at Zerstörer with a dagger, but Zerstörer telekinetically forces her to stab herself in the abdomen, then vanishes. Nick holds Eve in his arms as she says "I have no regrets, just protect our baby boy" and dies, he tries to heal her with the stick, but to no effect. He stands up and promises her he'll protect Rhett to his last breath.

Monroe and Rosalee arrive at the cabin and tell Adalind and Renard about the Force du Sang potion. Nick arrives soon thereafter and, thinking back to when he and Monroe first came to the cabin, enters the cabin and tells everyone Eve is dead. Rhett jumps out of the bed and bolts into his fathers arms and starts sobbing. Everyone gives them sympathetic looks. Adalind, Rosalee, and Nick hold their hands over a pot containing the potion, Renard holds a dagger over their hands, but when he hesitates, Trubel pushes the dagger through their hands, allowing the blood of all three to drip into the pot and mix with its contents.

Diana emerges from the cellar with Rhett hot on her heels. She knows about Zerstörer she tells Nick the reason Zerstörer is following them is that he senses the stick, and he wants it and has been looking for it for a very long time. The cabin starts shaking, and Zerstörer comes in, hitting the floor with his staff, sending out a shockwave that knocks everyone over except for Diana. Zerstörer reverts to his human form and reaches out for Diana, who attempts to take his hand before Rhett intervenes. Only to get stabbed through the chest by the staff and thrown across the room as Diana and Zerstörer leave the cabin, Renard runs out after them and tries to put up an attack, but Zerstörer stabs him in the chest with his staff as well killing him. As everyone else runs out of the cabin, Monroe throws the pot full of Force du Sang in Zerstörer's face, causing him agonizing pain for a few moments before recovering as if nothing had happened. Zerstörer telekinetically closes the door of the cabin, trapping Trubel and Kelly inside. Adalind telekinetically grabs an axe from Zerstörer's hands, but he gets it back and uses it to kill Adalind with a blow to her chest her last words, to Nick, begging him to "save Kelly and Diana". Rosalee picks up Zerstörer's staff, but it turns into a snake, biting her on the neck, then Monroe, killing them both.
