Grimm - S2E15 - Mr. Sandman

The Wesen in season two episode fifteen of Grimm is a Jinnamuru Xunte.  They blow sand in people's eyes, which blinds them, and then lick their tears.  So eyes are pretty important in the episode.

One of the locations in the episode is the Santa Lucia High School.  In one shot, the sign is visible, although it's at a not-super-legible angle:



I realized that this was a reference to light, as Lucia comes from lux - the Latin word for light, but then I looked up Santa Lucia and discovered that she's the patron saint of the blind.  It's a very subtle reference to the specific characteristics of the Wesen in the episode.
