    Gro and Frederik have left for Thailand to help Emil. They have to tread warily, if they are to succeed in getting Emil released. Frederik hides his agenda for Gro, and his meeting with Emil in the prison proves decisive for Emil's future. Signe's fields are challenged by nature; and, once again, she has to resort to creative means in order to succeed. Her visions are also threatened by her financial circumstances, and therefore the coming appraisal of Veronika's oeuvre is of decisive importance to her and Grønnegaard's future.
