After some hesitation, however, she accepted one anyway. Joseph plans to keep the two in the town for the long term. Peter receives the offer to become chief veterinarian in the planned national park there, a dream that would come true for Peter.

Joseph Pirnegger is happy that, to the chagrin of her mother Charlotte, Svea agrees to stay in the mountains for six months on a probationary basis, on the condition that she also works there. Joseph uses his connections to get her a job with Mayor Mingner in the neighboring village of Klamm. However, Svea develops more and more into Joseph's opponent.

For him, every stage victory always means the danger that his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter will leave St. Josef and return to Stralsund. Svea and Peter go back to Stralsund for the time being, there Peter Svea confesses that he found out a few days ago that he and his secretary Anna Zertl have a child.
