Kira Andersson tries in vain to reach her husband Peter when she starts hearing that someone is pranking them by pretending to put their house up for sale. However, Peter doesn’t respond, deep in his anger. Instead, Peter goes to the hockey rink and lashes out on the photographs that depict Beartown Ice Hockey history. The stranger is still following him. Meanwhile, Ana and Maya are deep in the woods when Ana, a hunter, notices that someone is following them. Benji, a former hockey star and best friend of Kevin, has been climbing trees and spots the girls from afar. Benji is known as being prone to intense violence, a quality that suited him as Kevin’s right-hand man during hockey. Benji comes from a troubled family, and hockey was his sanctuary. Even though Kevin was his best friend, he sides with Maya when he finds out about the rape. When the girls see him following them, they notice the hammer in his hands.
The violence between Hed and Beartown escalates with Leo’s burning of the Hed flags, and when a local politician suggests that hockey players in Beartown start supporting Hed, she finds an axe in the hood of her car.
