Opening quote: "I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...."
Leonard Drake (Gavin Hoffman) is killed in a repair shop and the killer moves the body to a dumpster where it is taken by the garbage truck with his appearance now that of an old man. Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) go to investigate the truck and from a tip from the manager (J.W. Crawford), they contact Natalie Haverstraw (Amanda Walsh), Leonard's girlfriend, who was suffering from domestic abuse. She reveals they got into an argument where they were joined by tenant Martin Burgess (Fred Koehler) and another tenant, Mason Snyder (Doug Brooks).
Nick and Hank go to the shop where Martin works to interrogate him. His testimony is the same as Natalie's but Nick sees Martin woge into a Mauzhertz, a mouse-like creature. They go interrogate Snyder, who is revealed to be a Lausenschlange, a snake-like creature. Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) arrives home and discovers a woman (Jill Westerby) photographing her house. Nick sends the car plates, discovering the car is owned by John Oblinger. Meanwhile, in the same repair shop an old man (Enrique Arias), who is also a Mauzhertz, kills a client and places him again in the dumpster.
Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) is called to repair a clock tower when he's attacked by Wesen people. When he recovers, the Wesen are gone but they marked his car with a bloody symbol of a scythe. Juliette follows the woman to her house but when the woman sees her, she gets inside the house with her children, panicked. Snyder attacks Martin in a parking lot but is forced to let him go when witnesses appear. Nick and Hank discover that the clients have connections to Martin and when they go to their apartment, they discover his father (Ebbe Roe Smith) dead. Martin arrives at Snyder's office and kills him after being taunted by his snake-like creature. He then steals his car and goes on a date with Natalie.
