With a kidnap pre-planned, the story begins on a tense note. Van Eck’s pregnant wife is held captive by the Crows, and later traded in for Inej later. Having many problems while getting out of the setting where they trade Van Eck’s wife for Inej, Wylan sets the room on fire while Nina shoots one of the soldiers blocking their way straight in the eye.
In the hideout, the crew discusses Kaz’s ideas about sabotaging Van Eck’s sugar silos using chemical weevil. This will increase the prices of sugar thereby defeating the idea of the merchant of gaining profits through Grisha Power.
These plans however take a major turn for the bad as they find out that Pekka Rollins is allied with Van Eck. Pekka attacks the hideout which is guarded by Jesper and Matthias, which hides the Kuwei.
