The four heirs have made peace with the past and each other. After Thomas' death, Emil is bringing up Melody at Grønnegaard, where his niece Hannah also lives with her group of artists. Signe lives with boyfriend Aksel most of the time, her ecological farming is doing well, and she is developing business ideas. Gro has created an exhibition space for young, progressive artists in the Art Hall, where she and Hannah intend to challenge the established art world. Frederik has been living in the USA, building a successful and lucrative career, and is now ready to make peace with Solveig. But his family has evolved, and is he really ready for what's waiting for him when he comes home?
At Gronnegaard, Emil is getting ready for Melody's birthday. Meanwhile, Frederik tries to prove his worth and regain the trust of the family following his absence.
Gro questions how much support she can give her young artists, while Emil attempts to console Frederik, who is determined to lash out at those around him.
The fallout from Hannah's death continues to haunt her parents, particularly Frederick, who clashes once again with the young artists collective. Kim has more bad news for Gro, whose career woes make her decide to take a much-needed break. Signe's pig farming project moves a step closer when she outwits her feuding neighbour, and the young artists also benefit.
Frederik and Pitus's work starts to bear fruit, but they are treading a fine line on the edge of the law. Meanwhile, Signe's business starts to gain momentum.
Signe is reconciled with Karin, but she soon has new problems when Aksel gets an offer that affects their future. Meanwhile, Emil and Gro disagree about Melody's upbringing.
At Gronnegaard, Frederik is preoccupied with defending the family against the charges brought by the youths. Meanwhile, Signe is forced to confront some locals.
