A storm causes major damage in Stefan's nature reserve, and the major doubts if the municipality can put up the necessary funds timely. Bullying by spiteful, jealous Badstuber, whose side Stefan seems to take, makes Daniel's cup flow over, so he decides to run away after Stefan found out he bailed out of college. The Hamburg-based Petersen couple and their daughter, who can't handle their impending divorce, get lost shortly, but end up inspiring Stefan with a great idea: A forest appreciation center. Joseph and Wolfgang each have another purpose in mind for the youth hostel's dependency, so they try to bribe Marianne.
