Opening quote: "Instantly, the priestess changed into a monstrous goblin-spider and the warrior found himself caught fast in her web."
A man (and a Fuchsbau), Ryan Showalter (Nicholas Gonzalez) tries to flirt with a woman, Lena (Amy Acker) on an art gallery. He then takes her to his apartment where he tries to attack her but she fights back, turning out to be a spider creature and makes him swallow a liquid from her mouth before escaping, with one of her fingers missing. Nick (David Giuntoli) is currently discussing with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) whether he should tell Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) about his identity as a Grimm. Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are later called to investigate Ryan's murder. They discover that the liquid split on his mouth serves as a spider venom and is his cause of death.
Lena later seduces another man in a restaurant and then kills him in the same way as Ryan. Nick visits the address of the people who were stalking his house. He finds the owner, John Oblinger (Kyle Vahan), revealed to be a Eisbiber and discovers Bud (Danny Bruno), the man who was fixing his fridge. He then threatens them if they ever stalk him again.
With help from a friend of Monroe, Charlotte (Dalene Young), Nick discovers that the killer is a Spinnetod, Black widows of the creature world. Charlotte is a Spinnetod, she's 26 years old but she appears older physically. She states that to revert the curse, the Spinnetod has to kill 3 people every 5 years. Lena gives a watch she retrieved from Showalter to her husband but it's revealed to the police by the daughter and his husband is taken to the police station.
