Frederik tries to strike a deal with Signe, Lise attempts to reconnect with her daughter, Gro confesses her feelings for a married man and Emil grows desperate for cash.

The family hold a meeting to discuss the future of Gronnegaard. But Frederik confronts Gro after suspecting her of forging Veronika's signature on the foundation documents.

A naming party is just round the corner, and Grønnegaard is filling up with people lending a hand in the preparations. In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Signe is also busy with her farming, and she feels challenged by the alternative way of life at the manor. Gro is busy organizing things with respect to Emil's trial in Thailand, creating pieces of art from Veronika's old works in the basement. Frederik is still struggling with respect to Solveig's infidelity and, hence, the family has moved to new surroundings to start afresh. Though Emil has been released on bail, the sentencing is a long time coming. Despite his freedom from the prison cell, the uncertainty is nevertheless taxing for his patience.

Emil is experiencing prison hardship. After solitary confinement, he now needs to find his place in the prison cell among the Thai prisoners. Gro is shocked by the news about Emil, and she has no other options than to ask Frederik for help. Frederik is in two minds about Gro's cry for help, as he refuses to be mixed up in Emil's affairs - but, then again, he is after all his younger brother. Signe's industrial hemp farming prospects seem fine, but being part-time mother for Melody together with the rest of the Grønnegaard inhabitants puts pressure on her; and she still has to prove her worth within the hemp trade.

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.
