Opening quote: "You shall not become corrupt, you shall not become putrid, you shall not become worms."
In the Portland University, workmen are breaking walls and find a secret room in one of them. In the room, there's an old Egyptian crate and they call Vera Gates (Anne Dudek), a professor, to study it. They open the crate to find the sarcophagus of Anubis, God of mummification and afterlife. Meanwhile, Wu (Reggie Lee) continues to be haunted after his encounter with the Aswang.
Karl Herman (Richard Lee Jackson) and Bob Taylor (Rafael Miguel) learn of the sarcophagus and that night, sneak into the university to steal the sarcophagus. However, they're found by police officers; Herman manages to kill them but Bob dies of his wounds. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are later called to investigate the murder, finding symbols carved in the wall, reading "I protect the dead".
Back in Austria, Sebastien (Christian Lagadec) is brought before King Viktor (Alexis Denisof), who asks for the names of the people who helped Adalind (Claire Coffee) escape. Meisner (Damien Puckler) finds the baby in the woods and brings it back to the cabin but finds Adalind with the baby and that what he brought were just sticks. Nick and Hank find that Herman is a wanted man for multiple crimes who usually sneaked into the museums, as he is not in favor of them keeping the dead. They go with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) to help them, deducing that Herman is a Wesen that works for the Beati Paoli, a Wesen group that wants to preserve their culture.
