POSSIBLE SPOILER!!! I have been following NBC’s weekly supernatural cop drama Grimm since it first aired a few years ago. I’ve even gotten a few friends watching along, too. But, being a Filipino, the episode “Mommy Dearest” has me addicted to the show even more. Watch on Hulu here " Mommy Dearest ".
