With Monroe and Rosalee seemingly out of harm's way for the time being, those crazy kids are off on their honeymoon, leaving us to wonder - does anyone have a key to the spice shop?

This week's episode opens with three people arriving at an old house to film something called 'Ghost Seekers.' They begin to investigate the house, discussing the deaths that took place there and finding far more than they bargained for in the form of some sort of electrical monster. One of them is fried past original recipe and well into extra crispy. Nick, Hank, and Wu arrive at the scene and find the body, as well as the remains of the camera. They question the other two Ghost Seekers and learn what happened, but warn them to stay away from the house.

Juliette, still looking for answers, asks Sean for help. He meets with her to give her the contact information of a person who may be able to assist, and when she arrives she's nearly run down by a guy in a sports car who doesn't seem to care. Her anger gets the best of her and she blows up his car - unintentionally - and Sean leads her away quickly. She spends some time in the trailer and calls the woman Sean suggested. It's clear she's afraid to tell Nick - the nightmare she has about Nick coming after her with an axe makes that obvious - but I'm dying to know what his reaction will be when he does find out!

At the station, Nick and Hank pull up the information on the couple that died in the home the Ghost Seekers were investigating, Stetson and Patty. They were clearly killed by a large jolt of electricity, but nothing else was harmed. It was assumed that the man the wife was having an affair with, Theo Hinkley, was responsible. Wu arrives and shows Nick and Hank what he managed to salvage from the memory card inside the melted camera, and he thinks the thing that was filmed resembles something he saw in the trailer. They look for Theo Hinkley's wife and discover she is Wesen - and that Theo had been killed, not Stetson. She'd never told the truth for fear he would come after her, but Stetson had apparently found Theo with his wife and fried them both. Nick, Hank, and Wu head to the trailer to learn more and find Juliette there, though she leaves in a hurry.

Meanwhile, a rather scruffy man approaches the house and lets himself in. He heads upstairs and curls up on what's left of the bed the couple was killed in, and begins to see a strange vision of Stetson and his wife dancing in the room and becomes quite upset. Lily Hinkley arrives sometime after and is cornered by the man, who's just finished inexplicably hacking off his beard with a knife, and we discover he is Stetson - also, he's nuts.

Nick and company read up on the electric creature and learn that there is a way to survive his attack - wait for it - they must make a paste from water and some sort of powdered frog, and then they must rub that paste into a fresh ear piercing. And why not, I ask you? At this point, if it all made sense it would make no sense at all. I admit, I began to panic a bit when Nick went searching for the needed ingredient because that's generally the part of the show where the team meets up at the spice shop, but thankfully there was frog powder in the trailer, and a handy needle tied to the vial that had all the characteristics of the sort of needle you want to pierce yourself with - large, old, and possibly rusty. I did not notice an alcohol swab attached, but I imagine Rosalee will be home in time to mix up a handy little brew before Nick's ear rots away entirely.

The two surviving Ghost Seekers go back to the house in hopes of avenging their friend somehow, and though the girl is run off by Lily the boy remains and hides, trying to capture the scene that unfolds on camera. He gets quite the show, too, as Stetson imagines Lily is his dead wife and tries to reenact the dancing scene we saw earlier. He sees the boy filming them and lunges for him, but Nick arrives just in time, grabs him, and thanks to his infected earlobe full of frog paste he's able to survive even when he's fully electrified. As he's about to make the arrest Lily shoots Stetson, sending a giant electric surge out into the neighborhood.

As the show closes, we're set up to wonder what will come of Juliette's meeting with Henrietta , who seems very odd when Juliette arrives, and what is happening to Sean, who seems to be bleeding from four bullet holes all of a sudden after having flashbacks of being shot. Scenes from next week also indicate that Nick is being tracked by some sort of bounty hunter, who takes Juliette hostage.

Will Nick find out about Juliette? She's clearly got some unharnessed power - will she need rescuing or will she take on the bounty hunters herself? What the heck is going on with Sean?
