Opening quote: "Now we've got eyes — eyes — a beautiful pair of children's eyes," he whispered.
A man named Andre (Kieren Hutchison) arrives at a support group meeting where he talks with a girl named Molly (Megan Henning) and takes her to her house. He then woges into a fly-like Wesen named Jinnamuru Xunte and releases a red powder on her, blinding her. He then consumes her tears and leaves. As she can't see, she accidentally brings down a shelf onto her, killing herself.
Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are sent to investigate while discovering that Molly left with Andre, who is possibly of South African offspring. In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets with a woman, Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis), a Hexenbiest who agrees to help her with the baby. At night, Renard (Sasha Roiz) wakes up to find Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) in his bed, who then woges into a creature, seemingly into a dream or a message from Frau Pech.
Andre goes after another victim, Kelly (Suzanne Tufan) but escapes when her sister, Casey (Jenny Wade) arrives. In the trailer, Nick, Hank and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) find that the Jinnamuru Xunte feed from the tears of his victims. Kelly wakes up in the hospital with worms now spreading into her eyes. Andre is sighted in a high school and the police are sent there to apprehend him. Nick catches Andre, but Andre spreads the red powder on Nick, blinding him as well and fleeing.
Hank takes Nick to the spice shop where Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Monroe find that there's a cure for a vaccine but it requires them to extract the Jinnamuru Xunte's eye while alive and woged. Seemingly, Nick has now developed a sense where he manages to hear everything happening around him even if it's whispering. Casey returns home and is attacked by Andre. Hank is called and decides to go, bringing Nick, Monroe and Rosalee. They manage to knock out Andre and cut out his eye to make the antidote. Andre wakes up in his normal form and tries to escape but is stabbed by Casey.
