Although Klaus promises to take her through Attica , he cannot keep his promise when he has to step in as a diver unplanned. Helga uses her time to see Mario again. When she comes home that evening, she refuses to give Klaus any account of her long absence.

The next morning, the two of them initially reconcile, only to fall apart again in the end. One of the reasons is Helga's jealousy of Angela, who she suspects is an admirer of Klaus. Klaus goes out to sea alone, where he plans further research, while Helga travels with Mario to Cape Sounion to the Poseidon temple, which is a place for lovers. He sings for her and they both finally kiss. Since Mario can sing well, Helga promises him to support his career. When her father's school friend, Becker's music manager, announced himself in Athens and organized an evening event at Lindenbergs, Helga brought Mario into play as a singer for the evening. His performance was a great success and Beckers wanted to sign him. During the event, Dr. Lindenberg that Angela went to sea alone to get certain breeding containers out of the water. Klaus looks after her and saves her from the water, as she almost drowned after a boat accident. Dr. Lindenberg, who, unlike Klaus, is in love with Angela, asks her to become his wife, but she wants time to think it over. Klaus realizes that he has too little time to hold Helga, who is spending more and more time with Mario. However, Mario's friend Fritz warns her that it is not permanent and will only make her unhappy. In fact, after a short time, Helga sees Mario with another woman. She makes up with Klaus and is delighted when Angela and her father finally announce they are a couple.
