They lose Summer first.

At first they think she was killed by their enemies, by the Grimm, by Salem. What remains of their team are three hunters dead-set on revenge for their fallen friend.

They hunt and they hunt and they hunt, but no matter how many monsters they kill, it is never enough. Nothing they do seems to make a dent in Salem's forces. Nowhere they search manages to turn up any clues to the locations or identities of the missing Maidens.

When they return, her grave is choked with white roses. They no longer know who to blame or where to direct their rage.
