Opening quote: "We shall see the crumbs of bread... and they will show us our way home again."
In a forest, two teens, Steven (Donald Fisher) and Kevin (James Maxey), are running from Wesens when Steven falls off and dies floating in the water while Kevin is taken by the Wesen. In Monroe's (Silas Weir Mitchell) house, Nick (David Giuntoli) considers telling Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) about his Grimm identity but Monroe states that knowing it may cause consequences. Later, Nick, Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) discover Steve's body drained of blood with a necklace.
Nick and Hank find out about another boy with the same necklace and they go with the sellers, Gracie (Hannah Marks) and Hanson (Daryl Sabara). They tell them that they last saw him on a clinic with a doctor named Levine (Valerie Cruz). Nick and Hank are then called to a car crash where they discover the driver had a possession of blood, hearts and livers. Nick also discovers the driver is a Wesen, a Geier, and then the driver dies. While the blood matches the DNA of Steven, the other organs do not, possibly from street kids.
Monroe confirms to Nick that the Geiers are responsible as they harvest organs for human enhancement. Monroe brings proof to Nick from a shop that sells organs. Nick later visits the owner, Freddy Calvert (Randy Schulman), revealing to be a Fuchsbau. Nick then has Freddy reveal the source of the human organs. Nick, along with Hank and Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz), go to a trailer in the forest where they discover the organs removal site while Renard kills the owner in self-defense. Nick detects the owner's phone and realizes the clinic is involved in the human harvesting.
