Gunter immediately feels at home during his brief visit to the hotel, but Victoria’s tarnished reputation in Lüneburg irritates him. Doubting whether she’s suitable as a hotel owner, he lets her persuade him with a touching - albeit fictitious - story about her mother and finally agrees to sell the hotel to her. Toni and Noah are back in Lüneburg. Noah would prefer to avoid Toni, but Toni asks him to help her clean up the shared apartment. But when Toni skips the cleaning, it sets off a chain reaction that ends with Toni in the hospital... Bella is faced with a difficult decision: Elyas demands that she choose between him and the EmKa. Torn apart, thanks to Till’s support, she realizes that she can’t allow herself to be blackmailed. Bella makes it clear to Elyas that their relationship has no future as long as he continues to put her under so much pressure. As Britta immerses herself in her work again, Heiner encourages her to be spontaneous sometimes.
