Count Ludwig tells first enthusiastic Elisabeth, then his children about his plan to become independent of Tanya again by starting a forestry firm with the castle's 10.000 acres woodland. Their skepticism turns into a no-vote when he admits it can only be financed by mortgaging Königsbrunn castle. Jens claims therapy cured him and he now want the best for Lydia, who is surprised he didn't betray her affair with Ansgar. Sebastian believes Jens just wanted a job as photographer. After Tanya orders the butler frugality and tells the von Lahnsteins she now controls their income, they accept to risk Ludwig's plan.
