The charismatic testimony Johannes Krogh faces his life's chance as he stands up for the bishop's election in Copenhagen's Capitol, where he has the opportunity to become the first bishop in his 250-year-old priesthood. But it's not just Johannes, who is having a dramatic time to meet. His youngest son, August, who is a popular priest in Copenhagen, has long dreamed of being outposted, and it's suddenly becoming a reality for his wife Emilie's concern. Storebroren, Christian, who previously ran from the theology study to his father's great regret, now seems to have finally found his way in life as he handles his thesis on CBS. But it turns out he likes something hidden.

August is brought in a difficult dilemma that will turn completely up and down on his life. Christian moves in with Emilie, while August has been sent because John has refused to let his eldest son stay in the priesthood.

When Elisabeth finds that the Norwegian violinist, Liv, has no place to live, Elisabeth offers that she can move into the priesthood.
