Hunted by Harpies.Lil Klippen greets the two at their cave, presenting a bundle full of bread loaves Lovis prepared. Ronja is excited to see her friend and offers Birk some bread but he silently wanders off, leaving Lil Klippen alone to ask Ronja to come home. Ronja asks how things are and if Mattis has talked about her but Lil Klippen says Mattis has forbade her name being spoken and things are melancholy. He begs Ronja to come home so things can be better but Ronja refuses until Mattis acknowledges her. Lil Klippen informs Ronja that Noddle Pete isn't doing so well and the soldiers in the forest have severely hindered robbing. Pelle was captured by the sheriff and is in jail along with two Borkas robbers as the sheriff swore to capture all the bandits in the forest. When Lil Klippen leaves, giving Ronja some salt for the meat, Birk upsets Ronja by remarking she didn't go home to her father. Ronja retorts she has no father and she won't have a brother either if Birk keeps it up to which Birk apologizes. Later the two go swimming in the river but are attacked by a flock of wild harpies. They manage to escape thanks to Birk's plan using camouflage but the two head toward the waterfall, unable to swim away.
