Hannes and Erika have a lot of demands for the house-broker. She talks with Hajo about living together in their old age. Eliane secretly witnesses on the phone as Carla. Torben and Carla agree to offer Eliane a loan. Eliane did get money in advance from the insurance association and she gives Dennis some of it for helping in her firm. She involves Hannes into her lie towards Carla but Carla starts to suspect something. Patrick flirts carefully with Sydney. They forgot to inform Carla that the room she uses for storing her catering utilities is now for luggage of hotel guests. Sydney shows Carla an alternative room for the catering. Patrick finds, during the moving of the luggage, an old suitcase. Sydney suspects the initials on the suitcase (W.T.F.) to be of her father. She and Gunter soon find the code to open the suitcase and find old buying contracts for hotels in it. Simone is not pleased because Thomas managed to move the interview to Gunter's estate. Holger has the study Thomas tries to hide; it appears to be a climate study. Thomas accidentally locked himself out of the barn on Gunter's estate, in which he lives. Gunter doesn't have an extra key but Mathis has a solution for Thomas. The radio interview of Thomas and Simone has women quota as main subject. She suddenly addresses the climate study to Thomas and accuses him now openly of favoritism.
