Wolf and Endless Tears is the twelfth episode of the second season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Synopsis
Even in light of chaos caused by the coup, Lawrence and Eve decide to continue with the plan. Lawrence leaves Holo with the Delink Company's traders and receives the gold, while Eve hires a ship. However, when Lawrence and Eve meet up back at Arold's inn, Lawrence decides to pull out of the deal, realizing that Eve has hidden risk from him. Eve threatens his life, revealing her true motives. She reveals that her statuette business was a ploy for smuggling rock salt, but the Church was forced to abandon this enterprise as it was deemed too profitable and attracted suspicion from the local populace. She in fact masterminded the ploy to sell furs only on credit in association with the bishop of the Lenos diocese so that it, with large amounts of cash on hand, could monopolize the fur trade. The Church attempted to cut her out of the deal, so she struck an alliance with Lawrence for safety from assassination and to increase her capital for the furs, enabling her to make a massive profit and have her vengeance on the Church while it is distracted by the coup. Eve knocks out Lawrence and leaves him a deed to the inn. Upon awakening, Lawrence uses the deed to buy back Holo. Lawrence explains to a furious Holo that he has decided to forgo his dream and continue his journey with her. Holo hints at the fact she has fallen in love with Lawrence. They make their way to the docks hand in hand, ready to start a new journey.
