Opening quote: "The Queen was terrified and offered the little man all the riches of the kingdom, if only he would leave the newborn child alone."
Prince Viktor (Alexis Denisof) has Rispoli (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) dispatch corrupt FBI Agent and Verrat associate, Weston Steward (C. Thomas Howell) in Portland to retrieve the baby. Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Renard (Sasha Roiz) begin to discuss about the baby when Renard is told that Nick (David Giuntoli) is entering the condo. Nick confronts Renard in the hallway but they decide to discuss the matter in his apartment.
While Nick speaks with Renard and Adalind, Kelly (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) watches Agent Steward enter in the condo. Nick convinces Adalind to work with them and then leaves. Kelly knocks out Steward but two Verrat agents are going upstairs to get Adalind's baby. Nick warns them and he and Kelly kill the Verrat agents. They then leave with Renard, Adalind and the baby to Monroe's (Silas Weir Mitchell) house for safety. Nick, Kelly and Renard decide not to tell Adalind of her mother's death by Kelly in order to avoid any further conflicts.
Nick, Renard and Kelly bust into Steward's house and after Renard attacks him, he discovers that he last called from Vienna and that Rispoli and Viktor are coming to Portland for the baby. The next day, Hank (Russell Hornsby) spies on the airport just as Viktor and Rispoli arrive at Portland and meet Steward, who's planning to kill Renard. Later, Viktor visits Renard in the police station and warns that if they don't give them the baby in two hours, Renard and Adalind will be killed.
