Othello, Maple, and Mopple return from the mist, and the flock wonders where they’ve been. Mopple secretly encounters the butcher, who ends up injured off the cliff. Othello reflects on his past and George’s rescue, showing his loyalty. Maple visits George’s house, where condolences are given and tension brews between Kate and Lily.

Othello, and Mopple share an idea with Maple that there was someone in the meadow during last nights storm. Richfield isn’t letting the sheep out of the barn because of the mist therefore Othello and Mople suspect him. Mople runs into the butcher and Othello attends Georges funeral and remembers when he first met him. He was injured next to a dead dog (animal fights?) this reinforces his justice for George.

The flock heading to the meadow were nosy humans, with Tom explaining how he found George’s body. Othello fought a dog and injured it. Zora kinda watched from the cliff. Zora asked the others after they resumed grazing, but no one answered. She realized she knows little about Othello, only that one day he was there. That night, in heavy rain, Maple had a strange dream and woke to an unfamiliar scent.

The sheep meet the priest, but can’t come to terms on who is God or the lamb. Kate came to see the area where George was murdered. She came with the priest. It’s so beautiful the description of how many things the sheep can smell and how sensitive they’re smelling senses are. We ended the chapter with the priest coming back in the night to the meadow, but then runs off because a flock of something is coming.

The sheep found the Gregs body and Maple noticed there was a mark of a hoof on Gregs body near the spade.
