A 12-year-old kid arrives at the Brick, who escaped from his camp, and Holling offers him to work there to pay for his room and board. He also falls in love with Shelly, but Holling doesn't care much. As Ed worries about the future of the planet, and dreams about it - he may well have been listening to Mike Monroe - Maggie finds some Indian artifacts, believed to be buried in her garden long time ago and begins fretting about male attitudes to womankind. With Fleischman taking the brunt of her feminist anger, she dreams of walking in the woods just before sunset...in her best red, hooded cloak and of a meeting with a wolf.
