Scorpio Rising

At the Gothenburg Opera House, Karin and John sneak in to watch as Bjorn Epstein works on his rock opera, Scorpio Rising with temperamental singer, Lars St. Claire. While they take a break, Bjorn discovers the intruders who beg for permission to stay and watch rehearsal in the hopes that they can finally meet Sparhusen. Mysterious Lars seems to cast a spell on Karin and John begins to consider that he may have feelings for her. Back in the woods of Uppsala, Lance anxiously searches for the missing Illeana, and the musical interlude that ensues while John watches Scorpio Rising reflects the journey that Illeana is now facing.
