The Legacy

Aging artist Veronika Grønnegaard comes to see Signe Larsen at the flower shop where she works, intent on revealing a secret that will turn Signe's life on its head.

While Gro arranges her mother's funeral, she still hasn't told her brothers about her mother's plans for the family home. Signe considers what to do about the letter from Veronika.

Signe confronts her parents about her past, Gro meets with investors regarding the launch of the museum at the family mansion and Frederik sees Veronika's ghost.

A naming party is just round the corner, and Grønnegaard is filling up with people lending a hand in the preparations. In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Signe is also busy with her farming, and she feels challenged by the alternative way of life at the manor. Gro is busy organizing things with respect to Emil's trial in Thailand, creating pieces of art from Veronika's old works in the basement. Frederik is still struggling with respect to Solveig's infidelity and, hence, the family has moved to new surroundings to start afresh. Though Emil has been released on bail, the sentencing is a long time coming. Despite his freedom from the prison cell, the uncertainty is nevertheless taxing for his patience.

Emil is experiencing prison hardship. After solitary confinement, he now needs to find his place in the prison cell among the Thai prisoners. Gro is shocked by the news about Emil, and she has no other options than to ask Frederik for help. Frederik is in two minds about Gro's cry for help, as he refuses to be mixed up in Emil's affairs - but, then again, he is after all his younger brother. Signe's industrial hemp farming prospects seem fine, but being part-time mother for Melody together with the rest of the Grønnegaard inhabitants puts pressure on her; and she still has to prove her worth within the hemp trade.

Gro and Frederik have left for Thailand to help Emil. They have to tread warily, if they are to succeed in getting Emil released. Frederik hides his agenda for Gro, and his meeting with Emil in the prison proves decisive for Emil's future. Signe's fields are challenged by nature; and, once again, she has to resort to creative means in order to succeed. Her visions are also threatened by her financial circumstances, and therefore the coming appraisal of Veronika's oeuvre is of decisive importance to her and Grønnegaard's future.

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.
