"The Other Side" is the 8th episode of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 2 and the 30th overall, which premiered on October 19, 2012, on NBC. The episode was written by William Bigelow, and was directed by Eric Laneuville.

Opening quote: "I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It must be wonderful, one that can dance, fence and turn somersaults."

A group of friends participating for an academic bowl meets for a meal and leaves to their houses. One of them is then killed by a Löwen. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) attend a work function in the PPD. When Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are called to investigate the murder, Renard (Sasha Roiz) offers to take Juliette home. After leaving her, she takes a shower. Renard sneaks in the house and watches while showering before leaving.

Coach Anker (Hans Altwies) becomes the main suspect in the case for his attitude to Nick and Hank. Wu (Reggie Lee) presents to the officers a new intern, Ryan (Michael Grant Terry). After another contestant is killed, Anker decides to cancel the bowl. The next day, Anker is found dead. They find the watch of another contestant, Pierce Higgins (Logan Miller) in the contestant's possession and deduce that he may be a suspect.

Adalind (Claire Coffee) turns out to live in Vienna and meets with Renard's brother, Eric (James Frain). He reveals that while sharing the same father, Renard's mother was a Hexenbiest and that he is only half of a royal and because of his bastard status, he and his mother were forced to move out to Portland. Pierce deduces that his mother (Mary Page Keller) is the killer and calls Nick and Hank.

However, Pierce discovers he is in fact the killer as his mother altered him before he was born to be a Löwen and a Genio Innocuo at the same time and his Löwen part is committing the crime. He escapes and attempts to suicide but is stopped by Nick in the last minute. He is placed on prison and uses his Löwen side to attack inmates.
