When wolf researcher Emma Salomonsen learns that her father, Marius Stenhammar, has started behaving strangely, she takes her son Leo with her and travels to Østbygda where he lives.

Marius Stenhammar has disappeared. Emma's boss, Jo Ås, orders her to hand over the bloody jacket to the police. But Emma chooses to postpone it until she has spoken to Marius.

The blood on the jacket belongs to Daniel, and the fur is from the alpha male. Kathinka confronts Emma with the evidence, but Emma assures her that it is not a wolf behind the attack.
