After Fiver has a vision about Woundwort's past they escape, making a new enemy in the process.
The Raid

Hazel heads for trouble involving a man and a gun. They bring back a new rabbit, called Clover.
Challenge to Efrefa

After some time, they finally elude the Efrafans and make their escape on a boat, leaving Woundwort raging.
