"Over My Dead Body" is the 6th episode of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 2 and the 28th overall, which premiered on October 5, 2012, on NBC. The episode was written by Spiro Skentzos, and was directed by Rob Bailey.
Opening quote: "Whilst he thus gazed before him, he saw a snake creep out of a corner of the vault and approach the dead body."
Outside a bar, Angelina (Jaime Ray Newman) is subdued by Arbok (Matt Gerald), a Königschlange and given the instructions to kill someone in exchange of money. She interrupts Monroe's (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee's (Bree Turner) dinner to admit that Monroe is the person to be killed.
Renard (Sasha Roiz) is visited by a woman named Mia (Alice Evans) from Tokyo to discuss something she would "make up". Nick (David Giuntoli) is called by Monroe to discuss about Angelina. She explains that someone hired her to kill Monroe for $25,000 and if she doesn't, they will kill her. Rosalee leaves Portland for a time and asks Monroe to run the shop. He accepts but doesn't tell her about his assassination attempt.
With help from Hank (Russell Hornsby), they begin to plan a ruse to make it look like Monroe is actually dead. Using a recipe from Rosalee, they give Monroe a potion to stay temporally dead. Angelina takes him to the location where Arbok and his enforcers think Monroe is really dead and the person who hired her is revealed to be Mia. Monroe wakes up and Nick and Hank get to the location.
Angelina fights the enforcers but is shot in the chest and dies in Monroe's arms. Nick chases Arbok but is attacked by him and Hank is forced to kill Arbok while Mia escapes. She meets up with Renard, who is angered for her failure. Monroe buries Angelina and lets out a howl in the woods.
