19th 1 Déjà-vu June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese
In 1987, the stranger, who appears as a child, adult and elderly man from three time levels at the same time, enters the headquarters of Sic mundus and burns it down. Then they kill Bernd Doppler and take the keys to the nuclear power plant from him.

After a "different" Martha saved Jonas in his world from the apocalypse on June 27, 2020, they will materialize again after their journey in a parallel world . Martha travels again with her small, portable, spherical machine for a short time and leaves Jonas alone in November 2019. In this kind of mirror world, Ulrich is divorced from Katharina and married to Hannah, who is expecting a child from him. Ulrich is the police chief and has an affair with his colleague Charlotte. Her husband Peter is a pastor, Franziska is deaf and not her sister Elisabeth, and Martha is with Kilian Obendorf, Erik's brother. Regina died of cancer. A short time later, Jonas meets a grown-up Martha, who tells him that Jonas does not exist in this world because Mikkel does not travel back in time, but just like in Jonas' world the apocalypse is inevitable. Martha, who saved Jonas, travels back to his world in the year 1888. There she meets the adult Jonas, who unintentionally landed this year with Magnus, Franziska and Bartosz before the apocalypse and has been trying to apply the God Particle for several months produce. The grown-up Jonas doesn't seem to know this Martha, who tells him she wants to find the origin of both worlds.

20th 2 The survivors June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese & Marc O. Seng
In the alternative world, the adult Martha Jonas tells everything about the four families Tiedemann, Kahnwald, Nielsen and Doppler. This world is also doomed to end and the apocalypse will happen in three days.

In 1888 Martha tells about her world. Bartosz reports how he, Magnus and Franziska traveled back together with the adult Jonas and now want to activate the god particle under the supervision of Gustav Tannhaus, the grandfather of HG Tannhaus. Bartosz shows her a secret room in which Gustav's father, Heinrich, once wanted to build a time machine to prevent his wife's death. This room will later be used as the headquarters of Sic mundus . Bartosz learns from this Martha that the grown-up Jonas will become Adam, who will eventually shoot "his" Martha.


In 1987 Katharina found out that Ulrich was stuck in a closed ward. She promises to free him and travel back to 2020 with Mikkel. Meanwhile, the marriage between Tronte and Jana is facing a crucial test after Mads is symbolically buried and Jana publicly reveals Tronte's affair with Claudia at the funeral service. Tronte visits Regina, whom he thinks is his daughter, and decides not to question the disappearance of Claudia any further. A short time later, the stranger breaks into the nuclear power plant and kills Claudia's secretary Jasmin Trewen


In 2020, three months after the apocalypse, Claudia takes care of her daughter Regina, who has cancer. Meanwhile, she tries to find a way to save those who died in the apocalypse. One day Regina gets a visit from Tronte, who suffocates her with a pillow. Meanwhile, Peter and his daughter Elisabeth are looking for their sister Franziska and mother Charlotte. The youthful Noah meets her and tells Elisabeth that he lives in the Winden Caves and will protect her after Peter dies.


In the year 2053, Charlotte finally learns from her now grown daughter Elisabeth who her mother is: it is Elisabeth herself. Charlotte is the mother of her own mother and the daughter of her own daughter. This so-called bootstrap paradox is only possible in a time loop.

21st 3 Adam and Eve June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese
Gustav Tannhaus is on his way to town in 1888 to announce the existence of time travel via telegram, but is murdered by the stranger on the way. Meanwhile, an argument breaks out between the grown-up Jonas and Bartosz, because he had not reported to them that he was Adam himself. Martha tries to earn Jonas' trust by giving him her supposedly last dose of the god particle that operates her time machine. With their help, Jonas succeeds in taking a significant step towards activating the God Particle, but soon finds out that Martha lied and left the year 1888 a short time later. In 2053 she meets old Jonas, who calls himself Adam. She was commissioned by him to save Jonas and help his adult self.

In the parallel world, Jonas learns in 2019 that there is an older version of Martha called Eva. She is the counterpart to Adam from his world. Both worlds are irrevocably connected with each other like a knot. In contrast to Adam, however, she wants to maintain both worlds while he wants to destroy them. She tells Jonas that if he wants to save himself and Martha, then he must lead Martha out of Eva's world and make her later become Eva herself. The stranger also works for Eva and gives her the keys to the nuclear power plant. In the meantime, Ulrich informs his police colleagues that Bartosz, Magnus, Franziska and Kilian have found the body of Ulrich's brother Mads, who disappeared in 1986. Charlotte then searches the location in the bunker again and finds Helge's followers. Hannah found out about Ulrich's affair and bribed Aleksander Tiedemann, whose false identity she knew about, destroying Charlotte's life. Helge confesses to murdering Mads. In order to convince Martha from Eva's world of the existence of time travel, both go through the passage in the Windener caves and leave them in a desert landscape. When they are found by the elder Martha, she welcomes them to the future.

22nd 4th The origin June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese
In 1954 the young Tronte meets the stranger. This tells him that he is his father. He gives him a bracelet, which Jana gives him a short time later, his future wife. She begins to fall in love with him while he is having his first sexual experience with Claudia. Meanwhile, Egon has an affair with Hannah, who lives under the identity of Katharina. He gives him a pendant with the image of St. Christopher . Meanwhile, Doris tries to find out why and where Agnes Nielsen disappeared. She visits her husband Egon in the police station and asks for his help. Later she meets the stranger who tells her that Egon is cheating on her. After Hannah Egon reports that she is pregnant, the latter gives her money for an abortion and ends the affair. When he arrives at home, he learns from Doris that she will divorce him. In the waiting room of the doctor with whom Hannah wants to end her pregnancy, she meets the young Helene Albers (Katharina's future mother). When Helene is called into the room, Hannah changes her mind and leaves Helene the follower of Christophorus. The stranger threatens the mayor von Winden with a weapon until he finally signs the building permit for the nuclear power plant.

Adam moved into Sic mundus' headquarters in 2053. Agnes tells him to know the true origin of the endless cycle and a short time later enters the god particle to travel in it.


In Eva's world, the apocalypse caused the city and region to be transformed into a desert landscape in 2052. Jonas and Martha go with the adult Martha to the bunker near Helge's hut. There, the adult Martha reports to the two of them that they could avert the apocalypse if they prevented the barrels from being opened. However, only one of the two worlds could be saved and Jonas had to choose between his world without Martha and Eva's world with Martha. After the two set off, the young Noah notes that the genealogy of the Winden families is in reality an endless cycle that originated in Jonas and Martha. Martha and Jonas travel to 2019 and sleep together there. In Adam's World Adam told Martha in 2053 that she was pregnant by Jonas and that her child was the origin of the cycle.

23 5 life and death June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese
In 2019 in Eva's world, Martha and Jonas go to the nuclear power plant to prevent the apocalypse. However, when she injures herself on a fence and Jonas is reminded of the scar on Eva's face, he realizes that Eva really wants everything to happen as it always has. However, since this would not prevent the apocalypse, they decide to confront Eve instead. There they not only meet Eva herself, but also her adult self and her youthful self. To the amazement of Martha, with whom Jonas entered the building, the visibly emotionally troubled "other" young Martha takes up a gun and shoots Jonas.

In 1987 Katharina tries to free Ulrich from the closed department in Adam's World. To do this, she has to steal the key card from her mother Helene, who works there. After a short fight in the forest near the lake, however, she fails and Helene kills her grown-up daughter, who then lets her sink to the ground in the lake. She drops her follower of Christophorus on the beach, where Martha will find him in 2019. Helene believes that she has seen the devil and repeatedly emphasizes that she aborted her daughter, but she obviously did not succeed. When she gets home, she takes out her anger on her teenage daughter, who breaks down in tears. Meanwhile, HG Tannhaus tells Charlotte that he had adopted her back then. After their son and wife were killed in a car accident, his granddaughter was never found. A short time later, two mysterious women brought him Charlotte, whom he raised as his granddaughter from then on, although he did not know her parents. Charlotte later meets Peter for the first time, her future husband, who has just come to Winden to find his father Helge after the death of his mother.


In 2020 Peter will continue to look for his wife and daughter, but Elisabeth no longer wants to look for them, believing that they either traveled through time or died in the apocalypse. While Peter re-enters the exclusion zone, Elisabeth goes back to the caravan where they have lived since the apocalypse. There she is surprised by a looter. When he tries to rape Elisabeth, Peter comes back, who is killed by the strange man in the fight. Then Elisabeth succeeds in killing him. She goes to the Windener Höhlen, where she meets the young Noah. Meanwhile, Claudia receives a visit from Claudia from Eva's world. She gives her the task of making sure that Jonas does not succeed in activating the god particle, since he will become Adam and will try to destroy both worlds. Eva's Claudia gives her the notebook that the stranger wrote and in which all future events are written down.


In the year 2053, Adam sends Charlotte and the adult Elizabeth to the God Particle to fulfill an assignment from Adam.

24 6th Light and shadow June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese & Marc. O. Seng
Claudia goes to the destroyed nuclear power plant in 2020. There she finds the god particle in an inactive state. Jonas, who survived the apocalypse, is also there. Claudia convinces him to restore the active state of the god particle.

In Eva's world, Eve explains to her younger self in 2052 that the murder of Martha by Adam in his world represented the overlap of two realities in this world. Due to the apocalypse, time stood still for a brief moment, so that two events occurred. In a reality, after Martha's death, Jonas was rescued from Eva's world by Martha and brought into the parallel world. In another reality, Jonas is not saved by Martha and survives the apocalypse in the basement of his house. This Jonas will later become Adam. The origin of this fact is quantum entanglement . This creates two versions of Jonas and Martha.


Martha travels to Eva's world on the day of the apocalypse and tries to warn Magnus of impending doom. This ignores her, whereupon she asks Bartosz for help. Meanwhile, Aleksander tries to prove his innocence and asks Charlotte to go to the nuclear power plant to search it. Since Bartosz cannot reach his father, he and Martha drive to the nuclear power plant as fast as they can. Before they get there, however, they are stopped by the grown-up Magnus and Franziska from Adam's world, who persuade Martha to follow them into Adam's world because Eve had lied to them. You give Martha the task of instead saving Jonas from the apocalypse in his world. Bartosz, in turn, is held up by his older self from Eva's world, who gives him the task of maintaining the cycle. He works on behalf of Eve and the secret society Erit Lux (which is the antagonist of Sic mundus from Adam's world), to which Noah, Claudia, Egon and the adult Martha belong. Meanwhile, the unknowns travel to 1986, both in Adam's and Eve's world, and there trigger the nuclear accident, which triggered the wormhole and later the apocalypse. In 2019, Aleksander and Charlotte open a barrel of radioactive waste and thus unintentionally trigger the apocalypse in Eva's world.


In Adam's world, he takes Martha captive in 2053. He believes that their son with Jonas is the origin of the eternal cycle and tries to destroy it by having Martha killed by the wormhole that it activates in both worlds at the time of the apocalypse.

25th 7th Between the time June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese
In the meantime , almost all of the storylines that were shown in the years 1888, 1921, 1954, 1987, 2020 and 2053 connect and also play in several intervening years to illustrate the development of the individual characters and how they became them as they were shown in later years. First of all, it is made clear once again that on the day of the Apocalypse there were two events that exist in parallel. On the one hand, Jonas was saved by Martha from the apocalypse that brought him into Eva's world. In the other scenario, Bartosz stops Martha on behalf of his older self and travels with her back to Eva's world, where her older self and Eva give her the order to shoot Jonas as soon as he and Martha arrive at the Erit Lux headquarters in 2019 .

In 1890, Bartosz meets Silja, who traveled back through the god particle from 2053. They fall in love and have two children. Hanno (Noah) was born in 1904, his sister Agnes in 1910, while Silja died. In 1911 Hannah arrives in the village with her daughter Silja. Jonas, who has gradually become Adam through numerous experiments, kills his mother in her sleep and takes Silja into his secret society Sic mundus . HG Tannhaus built his own time machine in the bunker between 1974 and 1986. He wants to reverse the death of his son, his wife and their daughter.


In 2023, Jonas and Claudia are still not making any progress in terms of activating the god particle. When Jonas tries desperately to hang himself at the site of his father's suicide, he is saved at the last moment by the young Noah. With the help of a loaded weapon, he demonstrates to Jonas that it is impossible for Jonas to commit suicide because his older self already exists. Together, the three try to activate the god particle by 2041. At this point, Noah has been with Elisabeth for a long time and the two have a young daughter. However, in 2041 she is kidnapped by the adult Elisabeth and Charlotte, who were sent through the God Particle by Adam in 2053. They bring the baby to HG Tannhaus, who adopts and raises it as his granddaughter. Noah suspects Claudia behind the kidnapping and accuses Jonas of treason. This initiates his search for Claudia's notebook and the later entry into Sic mundus . Claudia, who has deliberately slowed down progress regarding the activation of the God Particle, meanwhile kills Claudia from Eva's world in order to act as a kind of spy in both worlds and to learn more about the origin and the course of things. In 2052, after having activated the God Particle after almost 33 years, Claudia sends the now grown-up Jonas on his journey to 2019, which triggered the events of the first season.


After Adam killed the pregnant Martha with the help of the god particle in 2053, he found that, contrary to expectations, it did not dissolve and that the origin was therefore not destroyed. A very aged Claudia assures him that she knows the true origin of both worlds.

26th 8th The paradise June 27, 2020 Baran bo Odar Jantje Friese
Claudia explains to Adam in 2053 about the original world. This, Adam and Eve world are intertwined like a triqueta . For this reason Adam cannot stop the cycle from either his or Eva's world. To break the cycle, it is necessary to travel to the original world, in which HG Tannhaus built a time machine after the death of his son's family, thereby inadvertently creating the world of Eve and Adam.

In the year 2052, Eva forces the teenage Martha to shoot Jonas, as she had previously experienced herself, in order to save her son (the stranger).


Adam travels to Jonas on the day of the apocalypse according to Claudia's instructions and brings him to Eva's world, where he has to convince Martha there to destroy the origin. Adam then visits Eve at Erit Lux's headquarters , but to Eve's surprise does not shoot her, as was originally the case in every cycle. When she realizes that the cycle will finally come to an end, she hugs Adam. Jonas manages to catch Martha at the last moment, before Magnus and Franziska bring them to Adam's world and travels with her through the passage into the original world on the day of the death of HG Tannhaus family. There they convince Marek and his wife Sonja not to travel on by car and instead return to HG Tannhaus. In this way they prevent HG Tannhaus from building the time machine, who thus - without knowing it - de facto reversed the death of his family . Since Eve and Adam's world never came into being through this change, Jonas, Martha and all other figures in both worlds as well as the worlds themselves dissolve forever.


In the present in the original world, Hannah, Katharina, Regina, Peter, Torben and Bernadette are solemnly sitting together in the house of the Kahnwalds. The only known characters that exist in this world are those who were not made possible by time travel. For example, it is shown that Bernd Doppler and Claudia Tiedemann are Regina's parents. Regina is healthy in this world, Peter and Bernadette are a couple and Hannah is expecting a child from Torben. When a thunderstorm approaches and causes a brief power failure, Hannah experiences déjà vu at the sight of a yellow rain jacket (which Jonas had worn in Adam's and Martha in Eva's world) . Your narration suggests that the events from Eve and Adam's world influenced the original world at least in part. When the power returns, Hannah is asked if she and Torben already have a name for the child. Hannah pauses briefly and finally answers: "Jonas"
