Was that Nina who shot him? What would be her motive? She wasn't even raised in 511. Anyway, great episode.

As I thought Petrov is not a bad guy and I'm 70% sure that It's their mother who killed Petrov and the maid and that their mother is the real Monster maybe.

finally we're getting some good info :D

first, Grimmer is smart to fool the people following him.

though i don't get it why they wanted to eliminate Grimmer just because he knows about Petro.

if he's experiment is all about love, then why is he eliminating someone through force?

so the the orphanage is actually a kind one. the experiment probably wants a 100% pure love with no violence.

though i don't know how rumors spread that it was an asyllum for bad children.

since i remember one of the early episodes when Tenma talked to the lady who's running a good orphanage that Dieter was supposed to be left said that Kinderheim 511 was really a hell prison.

so Johan could be a born Monster? or was he influenced by his mother?

and the killer is definitely Johan and Anna's mother for sure.

first, i noticed she has much longer hair, plus why would she kill the maid? she Anna s only after Johan and nothing more.

anyways nice twist here! i do wonder if Wolf, one of the directors did in fact made Johan a monster or something.

can't wait for more episodes!!!

It's probably Nina's biological mother. Totally out of character for Nina to kill two people especially the innocent maid.

that looked just like nina, although it is out of character for her to kill. maybe this is character development? the mother seems more likely

Now that I've come here, it's true that it isn't like Nina to shot them. Ok, I may have understood if it were only the director, but that lady also got killed.

I too think the lady was Johan and Nina's mother, because they looked a lot like Nina and it wouldn't makes sense for it to be Nina.

That Kinderheim was a good place is quite a shock. I'm already liking Grimmer's contribution to the story.

It's too bad the old man died. I can't help but wonder what sort of man he really was

So from what I can see, what Petrov did was justified and if that were Nina, she would have no motive to kill Petrov and his assistant. But the real question is, was that really Nina? Or perhaps Johan or even their mother?

The plot thickens...

So we've learned that Grimmer is most definitely not always happy like it seemed at first. At least we know he isn't completely bonkers.

This episode was awesome. Hope we get more of these episodes that follow Grimmer.

9/10

No way Nina killed him. That's either Johan with a wig(Considering their Twins) or that's their mother.

Wondering if the killer was Anna. It really isn’t like her to kill people like that.

Grimmer sure knows how to question someone, I'm impressed.

There's no way Anna would kill Petrov and his assistant so dispassionately. As others have theorized, it was probably her biological mother. I've noticed that her hair color is kinda hazel, while her daughter's leaning towards fawn.

So it seems that the results of what happened at the end at Kinderheim give it this bad reputation as it was good initially befor Johan fucked it up.

I didn’t expect the former Kinderheim 511 director experiment to be a non-cruel one that sudden plot twist at the end was appreciated (not all people who worked there were bad people)... the question is who was the person that killed the director and the lady, I know for sure it wasn’t Anna/Nina she is not a cold-blooded killer...

Grimmer is an interesting character indeed

I'm guessing Petrov is kinda trying to redeem his sins

Is that Anna/Nina? Looks like her, but probably not

Well, dunno who that woman is, sure ain't Nina(she would never kill the maid). My guess is that it is Eva, who teamed up with Johan and Roberto for her sexual gratification.

The journalist is actually a great one, who is not at all incompetent. I hope he unravels the mystery. and we see that the experiment plays an important role. Let's see where this goes.

I also think that it was the mother, just due to the lack of other suspects.

So.... Kinderheim 511 is actually designed to be a nice place, but everything change when Johan came. Interesting twist.

I don't know who she is, but for certain it's not Nina or Johan's mother, if it is, she wouldn't looked that young and she's pretty agile.

I guess I'm still on the surface of the truth of this show.

Why can't it be Nina? The story of the two monsters seemed to have unlocked Nina's past memories from her time in Czechoslovakia. I think she's going full John Wick on these dudes.

Intuition tells me Grimmer's son was a causality in the 511 Kinderheim incident somehow. He seems emotionally involved in the event, and his son's untimely death wouldn't be mentioned if it wasn't relevant, me thinks.

Was about to say that as well. Johan never bothered covering up when he killed someone, why would he pretend to be a woman now? And the twins' mother is probably long dead. You could clearly see that something snapped inside Nina when she saw that picture book. But then again how would she find Petrov?

I'm not sure if I like the side story (buildup) episodes more than plot progression ones. How about Grimmer becomes the new MC?
