Did anyone else notice Amy on the 2/11 episode of "Grimm?" She played a spider demon who kills and devours her mates, sort of like Xander's Preying Mantis girlfriend from Season 1.
 
Yeah, she did a great job as well.

I loved that she was a killer soccer mom
 
Yes! Amy Acker is the best socccer mom ever! I watched the episode just because she was in it. I've never seen 'Grimm' before, and was therefore confused by the people that had beaver faces, but it was worth it to see her again.
 
Trailer of the episode for anyone who missed it: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67s3gtFfzwA"]Grimm 1x11 Tarantella - Promo - YouTube[/ame] (or if you're Canadian, CTV does still have the episode available for viewing online... I'd imagine NBC probably has it posted for Americans as well)

I actually had no idea she was going to guest star prior to tuning in, but she did an excellent job with the role I think. She so perfectly fits into the role of soccer mom and loving wife, it made it that much more chilling when you saw her "alter ego".

A particularly creepy episode for arachnophobia sufferers like me and a couple of the scenes were pretty gruesome (anyone else cringe when
she tore her face off
?). But that's one of my favourite things about the show. You can be totally disturbed by what's going on and at the exact same time feel sympathy towards this criminal who seems to be a victim of circumstance.

EDIT: Even better! Found a sneak peek featuring Amy at SpoilerTV: http://www.spoilertv.com/2012/02/grimm-episode-111-tarantella-sneak.html

As well as a really interesting interview where she discusses the role (SPOILERS): http://www.amy-acker.org/2012/02/13/grimm-tv-guide-interview/#more-3343
