Watched "Key Move" from Grimm. Nick, Monroe, Rosalee, Hank, and Sergeant Wu study the pieced-together map  and guess at the location of the knights' buried treasure. Nick and Monroe travel to the Black Forest in Germany and come upon the foundation of what could be an old church on top of a hill. They start digging, a trapdoor opens, and they fall in. Suspicious Wesen follow them secretly.

In Portland, Captain Renard has been endorsing the candidacy for mayor of Andrew Dixon and has been having an affair with his campaign manager on the side. A rally is being held at a park. The Black Claw terrorist whom Hadrian's Wall has been tracking murders the resident of a unit in a high-rise building, assembles his rifle, and snipes at Andrew Dixon.

A "To Be Continued" episode, and a disappointing one. The Black Claw plot is like a rehash of The Manchurian Candidate. The treasure hunt is too simplistic and unconvincing. Can one really travel to a location in a foreign country with a shovel and just dig? Those foundation stones didn't seem hundreds of years old to me. And that trapdoor was a bad cliffhanger. Why was it never discovered by the Germans themselves? Indiana Jones minus the ingenuity, and possibly the budget.
