Plot
Opening quote: "Then she began to weep bitterly, and said, 'What can a poor girl like me do now?"
A girl, Carly (Maddie Hasson), is kidnapped by cousins. Nick (David Giuntoli) shows Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) photos of the two of them as a couple, in a vain attempt to help her remember him. She remembers other things and people - even his friend Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and the fact that he saved her life - but not Nick.
Hank (Russell Hornsby) is struggling with anxiety and nightmares after everything he has witnessed and visits a therapist. He reacts violently when she touches him, and abruptly ends the session. Carly's father Jarold (Mark Pellegrino), who is a friend of Hank's, asks for help to find her. Nick sees Jarold woge into a Coyotl. From Monroe, he learns that when a female Coyotl reaches 17, her pack performs a violent consummation ritual called "aseveración". The ritual is performed on the night of the full moon - meaning Carly's will be that night.
