Opening quote: "The demon came home, and he declared that the air was not clear. 'I smell the flesh of man."
In the Mount Hood, a geologist, Jill Prembrey (Nicole Santora) retrieves rocks near a fumarole. Then, she is attacked by Markus Hemmings (Gill Gayle) who tries to get back the rocks but she manages to escape. He then woges into a Taureus-Armenta. Later, Jill is killed at her home by a creature covered in lava called Volcanalis.
In the station, Hank (Russell Hornsby) is sent on vacations on behest of Nick (David Giuntoli), Wu (Reggie Lee) and Renard (Sasha Roiz). In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is taken by Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis) to visit Stefania Vaduva Popescu (Shohreh Aghdashloo), who explains that a bloodline must be established for the child and they subdue Adalind to place needles on her.
Juliette's visions continue haunting her, to the point where she crashes her car. She then visits Pilar (Bertila Damas) for help and she is given a tea to help her to focus and enter again in the past in an attempt to get the memories back. Nick and Wu go to the fumarole with Jill's boss to investigate the scene, where the boss retrieves rocks from the fumarole while Markus unsuccessfully tries to stop them.
Adalind's test shows that the baby is of Royal blood and offers her money for the baby when is born. Adalind refuses the money, preferring to get her Hexenbiest powers back. Upon finding out that Markus's wife was killed years ago, Nick and Renard bring him to the station. He claims that he didn't kill the archaeologists, he was in fact warning them of the danger that would happen to them and they were killed by a creature named Volcanalis for stealing its rocks.
