Theo hunts on Raven Peak and finds a large rabbit he plans to cook for his sick wife. After chopping wood he runs into Sam, an old drinking buddy who once persuaded him to sell the family's grain for wine. Sam eyes Theo's fur coat and the catch, urges selling them to buy drinks, then escalates when he demands the rabbit and snaps, "Give it back, or I'll kill you!" The episode ends with Theo facing Sam's violent threat, the family's meal at stake, and his next decision left unresolved.
