It is early in the morning and Runå is walking home after her attack and she winces in pain. Runå walks into her hut and she closes her eyes as she sees Floki eating his breakfast and Floki's eyes doll with confusion and concern "Runå, where have you been?" Runå says "I stayed with Björn last night" Floki shouts "You what?!" Runå says "Father, calm down" Floki says "I am going to have a word with Björn" and Floki walks past Runå and marches out of the hut. Helga appears in front of Runå and she sees the scared look on her Daughters face "Runå, my dear child what is wrong?" Runå says frantically "Mother, you have to stop Father!" Helga asks "Why Sweetheart, what is wrong?"

Runå begins to cry and Helga hugs her Daughter but sees dark bruises on her arms and asks "Who done this to you?" Runå says "It was Grim" and Helga's face softens as her Daughter breaks down in her arms.

Björn's eyebrows knit together in confusion "I have respect for Runå, I would not treat her as if she was a whore! Runå did not stay here" and Floki's eyes are filled with confusion.

The next day Runå is walking through Kattegat and she bumps into Grim and Grim looks her up and down "Well well Runå it is lovely to see you" and he touches her arm and she rips it from his grip "Do not touch me!" Grim chuckles and says "Have you ...
