"La Llorona" is the 31st episode of the Supernatural drama television series Grimm and ninth episode of season 2, which premiered on October 26, 2012, on NBC. The episode was written by Akela Cooper, and was directed by Holly Dale.
The episode was broadcast on NBC as a Halloween special. In this episode Nick and Hank investigate a case that holds a striking resemblance to a Hispanic legend: La Llorona. With the help of a New Mexico detective, Nick and Hank will face with chain of kidnapping in a supernatural way. Elsewhere Monroe is driven by his likes for Halloween.
On the eve of Halloween in Portland, Luis Alvarez is spending time with his son Rafael, but the man is distracted when he goes out in the help of a mysterious crying woman in white who tries to plunge in a river, apparently trying to kill herself. Luis plunges into the river, bug he can't find the woman. He then turns to helplessly watch as she walks away with Rafael. A desperate Luis enlists the help of the police, but his inability to speak English only delays the case. When Nick and Hank are called to investigate the case, he calls Juliette to help translate, given that she can speak Spanish fluently.
Thanks to the translation of Juliette, Nick and Hank come to the home of Luis where they look for evidence of any possible suspect. Luis' neighbor Pilar talks with Juliette claiming that she knows who is the kidnapper, and proceeds to explain that it is "La Llorona", (The Weeping Woman) a woman who according to several Hispanic legends, is a ghost who takes children to drown them in a river. Shortly after the police leave, Pilar approaches Juliette and warns her that her cat scratch is a sign that someone cursed her.
In Albuquerque, a Wesen like-jaguar, is alerted from a new kidnapping and decides to immediately go to the city where it happened: Portland, Oregon. Back in Portland, in the city precinct, the same Wesen, who is presented with the name Valentina Espinoza as an Alburquerque detective, who has extensive experience and dealing with the case, warns Captain Renard that shortly there will be a second and third child abduction.
Shortly afterwards in another river of Portland, a girl is kidnapped by La Llorona, who takes her to her lair with Rafael. Upon learning of the second kidnapping, Nick and Hank begin to trust Valentina, but Captain Renard appears and orders them to place Valentina in custody, given that she was fired from his job for her obsession with the Woman. Nick prevents Valentina from attacking the captain, knowing that she is a wesen, and later the detectives interrogate her to find out if she is involved, but Valentina warns them that there will be a third abduction and claims she is after the woman because she was responsible for the death of her nephew, refusing to believe that the criminal is a ghost.
