Rita and Rasmus move in together, and Rita tries her best to act like an adult -- until Rasmus puts a rose bed in her beloved wilderness of a garden.

A student in Rita's class falls hopelessly in love with her at the same time that her own first love, Tom, reappears in her life at a family baptism.

For the first time in her life, Rita has gone down for the count, but she has to rediscover her fighting spirit when Erik strikes a student.
