Little Jakob is shocked and out for vengeance after his three big brothers pretend he's just adopted. Ralf Binder cancels his wedding plans in Tabarius's church when he hears the name of sexton Willi Kockelkorn, from Hamburg like him. His fiancee clarifies that's his ever-absent biological father. Andreas hopes to smooth everything by asking Willi to babysit his four sons while he and Katharina (center of jealous scenes whether she, Sabini or her underling Urte gets the honor) attend a fancy church celebration in Cologne, but the rascals quickly turn his old-style firmness into boundless knavery. Ralf reluctantly gives Willi at chance to explain how his mother kept them apart. Jakob abuses the police for revenge on firstborn Lukas.
