The group is headed by Adam, an old man with a scarred face, who acts as the main antagonist of the second season. Another member, the elder Noah, receives the order from him to obtain the missing pages from Claudia Tiedemann's diary so that Sic mundus can prepare for the apocalypse on June 27, 2020. While a new face is entering the city with Inspector Clausen, the head of the newly founded special commission for missing persons, Katharina Nielsen is still looking for Ulrich and Mikkel. Aleksander Tiedemann orders the transport of a large number of barrels to the nuclear power plant site, which are to be hidden in the cooling pool ; so far, the barrels have been stored in a truck in the same parking lot as Bernadette's caravan. In addition, the power plant is about to be shut down for good. The older Jonas reveals himself to his mother Hannah and tries to explain the circumstances to her.

| On the day before Michael's death in 2019, Jonas drove with his friends to a bathing lake, at the same time Jonas, who was about 1 year older, arrived at the same time. Mikkel, who is driven to the doctor by his parents and goes to the toilet in the Kahnwald's house, meets Michael, on whom this encounter leaves traces. At the lake, Franziska Magnus reveals herself naked without any feelings of shame. In the presence of Martha, Jonas finds the pendant in the sand that Martha finds on her pillow a year later (see previous episode). After Jonas drove home, the time-traveling one year older Jonas takes his place and kisses Martha. This enables Jonas from 2019 to sleep with the girl at Ulrich's and Katharina's wedding anniversary party. Hannah and Ulrich are already beginning to revive their old feelings and come very close in the rain, while Katharina is lying in bed next to her sick son. The time traveler Jonas visits his father, who did not go to the party, and first tells him not to kill himself. The latter, however, had no intention of doing so. Together they find out that it was only after Jonas' visit that Michael learned how to phrase his farewell letter. Old Claudia joins them and explains that the logical consequence of Mikkels' journey through time must be Michael's death in 2019, since without him Jonas, who plays an important role in the cycle, would otherwise not exist. She knows an alternative reality without Jonas and that is not a solution either. In 1921, an adult version of Magnus and an as yet undisclosed woman also emerge as members of the circle. | |||||

In 1987 the older Claudia and Jonas gave themselves to the caves with a time machine. Claudia learns that the old self had told Jonas how he could save the world that Adam wanted to rebuild. With a new search warrant, investigator Clausen and a few other police officers will drive to the nuclear power plant in 2020. Wöller confesses to his colleague Charlotte that he was involved in transporting the waste to the power plant and they go to the site because they fear that the discovery of the material could be the trigger for the approaching apocalypse. In 1921, Noah realizes that Adam had only used him and wants to destroy the world. When Noah tries to shoot the old man, however, the gun does not fire because, according to Adam, "it is not his fate" to die now. Adam explains that Charlotte, Noah's and Elisabeth's daughter, is also Elisabeth's mother. Agnes takes the pistol and shoots her brother. Jonas and Claudia manage to link the future and the past in the caves with the help of the portal. Back at his parents' house in 2020, he meets Martha, who is shot shortly afterwards by Adam, who in turn has traveled through time. At the nuclear power plant, Clausen orders the bottom of the sealed cooling pool to be broken open, but the barrels buried in it contain only rock. In the years 2053 and 1921, the machine that nourishes the sphere is activated “at the same time”. In connection with the opening of the portal in the caves by Katharina, the dark matter contained in the barrels "wakes up" , which means that Charlotte and future Elisabeth can see and touch each other. This process ultimately triggers the apocalypse. While a huge black veil covers the winds, a second Martha suddenly enters the Kahnwald's house. She reveals herself to Jonas, who is mourning the other Martha, as a person from another world and has a more advanced time machine. Both go away. Magnus, Bartosz and Franziska are saved by the elder Jonas at the last second by traveling to another time. In Doppler's bunker, Peter and Elisabeth Doppler, Claudia and Regina Tiedemann and the time-traveled young Noah from 1921 save themselves. | |||||
