Opening quote: "And glory like the phoenix midst her fires, Exhales her odours, blazes, and expires."
During an investigation of an arson case that involves an Excandesco (phoenix-like wesen), Nick (David Giuntoli) is forced to turn to a Bauerschwein arson investigator Lt. Peter Orson (Daniel Roebuck) whom he had put behind bars. Prince Viktor (Alexis Denisof) teaches Adalind (Claire Coffee) about well-played diplomacy.
The episode was viewed by 4.86 million people, earning a 1.1/4 in the 18-49 rating demographics on the Nielson ratings scale, ranking third on its timeslot and sixth for the night in the 18-49 demographics, behind 20/20, Undercover Boss, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, and Shark Tank. This was a 4% decrease in viewership from the previous episode, which was watched by 4.67 million viewers with a 1.2/4. This means that 1.1 percent of all households with televisions watched the episode, while 4 percent of all households watching television at that time watched it. With DVR factoring in, the episode was watched by 7.79 million viewers and had a 2.2 ratings share in the 18-49 demographics.
"Trial by Fire" received mostly positive reviews. Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 4.5 star rating out of 5, stating: "Talk about burying the lede! We had to wait until the last five minutes of Grimm Season 4 Episode 13 for the long-awaited Adalind/Juliette showdown, but it was worth it. We were also treated to a nice bit of continuity with the return of Daniel Roebuck as the (jailed) Bauerschwein arson investigator Peter Orson, last seen back in Grimm Season 1 Episode 6."
