Opening quote: "There she paused for a while thinking... but the temptation was so great that she could not conquer it."
A girl, Faith Collins, is tormented by frustrating visions and then hit by a car. The driver, Leroy Kent calls an ambulance while a mysterious man arrives and strangles her to death before disappearing. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are called to investigate and they find glass cuts in her arms. They interrogate her husband, Roy, as he has been reported for abuse but he doesn't reveal anything.
After locating a comment she made, Nick and Hank arrive at a bed and breakfast and question the owner, Billy Capra (Patrick Fischler). He states that Faith appeared at the bed and breakfast but didn't stay. He shows them the garden where Nick sees Capra shift into a creature form. Nick later finds with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) that he is a Ziegevolk and that their pheromones make women fall in love with them. Nick and Hank then discover that many women have disappeared since Capra arrived in Portland and some of them were pregnant. In his basement, Capra feeds three women locked in a cage.
Nick tells Monroe to follow Capra to a bar while Hank sneaks into the inn. Hank discovers the girls caged but is tormented by the same visions of Faith. Nick arrives shortly after Capra leaves the bar. Looking for Hank, they're locked by Capra, who turns on the gas. Nick and Hank escape by breaking the door but Capra escapes with a woman.
Meanwhile, a man (Henri Lubatti) shows up in the police station, asking Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) for the officer (Nick) who killed his friend, Hulda (the Reaper that tried to kill Marie). Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) tells him to check his information. Renard then meets with the man, confronting him for arriving at Portland without his permission and cuts his ear with a scythe, telling him to never come back.
