Complete story — includes the ending

Nick and Juliette decide to go for a weekend retreat, where Nick is planning on proposing. Monroe spends more time with Rosalee, and Hank calls Adalind. At the cabin, Nick and Juliette witness domestic abuse occurring in the household behind them. When they run into the couple in the supermarket, the wife (Robin) is revealed to be a very rare bird creature - a Seltenvoge - being held by her husband - a Klaustreich - because she will produce a golden stone from her throat. The wife attempts to escape, but the husband intervenes and is aided by his cousin, the local sheriff. Nick calls Rosalee for help to remove the stone from Robin's throat, but her husband manages to get the stone in a standoff and runs off. Nick chases him, and the stone accidentally breaks in the chase (becoming worthless). Nick proposes to Juliette, who sadly declines, stating that he is hiding something from her and she can't say yes yet. Opening quote: " Sing my precious little golden bird, sing! I have hung my golden slipper around your neck. "
