Episode 1 The charismatic testimony Johannes Krogh faces his life's chance as he stands up for the bishop's election in Copenhagen's Capitol, where he has the opportunity to become the first bishop in his 250-year-old priesthood. But it's not just Johannes, who is having a dramatic time to meet. His youngest son, August, who is a popular priest in Copenhagen, has long dreamed of being outposted, and it's suddenly becoming a reality for his wife Emilie's concern. Storebroren, Christian, who previously ran from the theology study to his father's great regret, now seems to have finally found his way in life as he handles his thesis on CBS. But it turns out he likes something hidden. |

Episode 2 Johannes is having a hard time meeting a dramatic bisp selection, and it concerns Elisabeth and the employees of Lindegård Church. August is also facing some major challenges as a leader in the Middle East and struggling to win the soldiers' respect and trust. August is brought in a difficult dilemma that will turn completely up and down on his life. Christian moves in with Emilie, while August has been sent because John has refused to let his eldest son stay in the priesthood. Christian has been permanently excluded from CBS, and it also goes beyond his friendship with Mark. Nor does it make it easier for Christian to get Mark's girlfriend, Amira, out of her head. |

Episode 3 August has returned to Denmark where he tries to convince both the family and himself that he is well on top of his broadcast. But the lie hurts hard on him, and when the Army's Audit Corps calls him to question and asks for his role during the fire fighting, he is close to cracking. When Elisabeth finds that the Norwegian violinist, Liv, has no place to live, Elisabeth offers that she can move into the priesthood. Monica tells a desperate John about his plans for church closures, and John must now fight inwardly to preserve his close-up church as the house of God. Mark and Christian decide to go to Nepal together - a journey that makes Amira nervous. With good reason! |
