Episode synopsis
Even though it should be clear that the safety of the cows is the alpha priority for which she was hired and that the errand Ulla charged her is an illegal order to never be complied, Katri dreads the prospect of Teemu purging her from the payrolls on Ulla's behalf if she stands her ground but also remembers having it explained that Ulla is not all there upstairs; commiserating Ulla's anguish for her late daughter Leena and reasoning that Aapeli alone is enough to keep the placid herd in check, Katri decides for the errand in spite of Aapeli's protests and oblivious to Pekka sensing a deviant diagnostic when she races by him.
