As it got close, a root from the Forest grabs the bird, killing it without a trace. Jaren, bored, sits on a stump outside the cabin, humming the song he heard before alongside the little bird that mimics Leelo’s voice. Leelo tells Jaren to stay put, saying she’ll return later with supplies. Leelo takes the stranger, Jaren, further away from the shore, looking for Isola’s cabin again. He hears someone approaching, and when he makes eye contact with the girl who hauled him to shore, he faints. Jaren is hiding in the forest, leg very much damaged from contact with the poison, although at least it seems to have stopped bleeding. The council has already taken the boat for repairs, and when she turns to leave Leelo sees blood. Sage is dismissive, and tells her that Leelo can take Hollis’ shift that night. Leelo finds Sage and Hollis, who has taken her place as Sage’s Watcher partner that morning.
Her mom agrees to tell people that it was she who sent Leelo out so that she doesn’t get in trouble for missing her Watcher duty. She doesn’t tell her what happened, only that she was out walking, missing her brother. Leelo returns home where she finds her mother alone. She considers cutting the rope that attaches the boat to the island, but instead decides to help the man in the sinking boat, pulling him in and fleeing as soon as she hears him hit the shore. A boat with a man in it that is clearly sinking. Leelo went back to the shore, seeing a boat making its way to the island. Unfortunately the jostle broke a hole in the boat and it's now taking on water.
Not seeing another way out, Jaren jumps into a boat, sending him into the lake. Leelo hears the wolf howl, and worries for her brother. Hearing something in the bushes, he is confronted by a giant wolf that makes chase.
Unable to sleep, Jaren goes for a walk and finds himself lost in thought while his feet take him back to the lake shores of Endla. The townspeople are all gossip when it comes to Lupin and Jaren after their walk in the woods. Not being able to sing in case the incantus are still in ear shot, Leelo screams. After, Leelo takes herself and her rage to the pine grove, stabbing a tree in anger. They watch the incantus leave the island.
