Episodes
The case of the young soccer goalkeeper Sylvia Hoffmann is of great concern to Christian. She took a blow to the sternum during a brilliant save in the decisive match against relegation and has been suffering from dizziness and extreme pain ever since. Christian then arranges blood tests and a CT scan - but the case remains a mystery. Only an MRI could shed light on the matter, but the machine in the hospital is booked up for days and the last remaining radiologist in Eisenach has given up his practice due to age. In the meantime, Sylvia's condition deteriorates rapidly. Christian immediately calls the emergency services, but it is too late: despite all measures, the young woman dies during transport. Christian is devastated. A young woman - talented, athletic, with her whole life ahead of her - is dead. Perhaps he could have saved her if he had had his own MRI machine. Christian realizes that he is at a crossroads. He cannot simply carry on with business as usual. Due to the strict austerity measures of the hospital administration, the days are over when he could rely on the clinic's resources at any time with the help of his future son-in-law Michael Sandmann. There are only two options: quit or adapt to the circumstances and reposition himself. Specifically: modernize and grow. The idea of a joint practice is born. Together with Lisa, now a qualified gynecologist, and Michael and Piwi as physiotherapists, Christian wants to start again from scratch. But will the children embark on this adventure? Meanwhile, Christian hardly notices any of the changes in his youngest children; he is too preoccupied with his patients and the future of the joint practice: Clara has secretly had a tattoo and is celebrating her first successes with her girls' band "Pink Slip". The topic of love and sexuality is also becoming increasingly interesting to her. Paul, meanwhile, suffers from the bullying of some of his classmates, who make everyday school life hell for him.
While things are still in chaos at the new practice, not only is organizing the changed collaboration challenging, but so is the search for a suitable radiologist. Every day the MRI sits unused costs the doctors money. When a candidate finally comes along, Christian is almost forced to give the young, but somewhat arrogant Timotheus von Hatzfeld a chance.
While things are still in chaos at the new practice, not only is organizing the changed collaboration challenging, but so is the search for a suitable radiologist. Every day the MRI scanner sits unused costs the doctors money. When a candidate finally appears, Christian is almost forced to give the young, but somewhat arrogant Timotheus von Hatzfeld a chance. The collaboration between Christian and his daughter Lisa is beginning to bear fruit. A young woman with mysterious abdominal pain presents Christian with unexpected diagnostic challenges. Lisa finally provides him with the crucial clue, and the girl is finally able to be successfully treated shortly before his departure for a year of community service in Peru. Christian is proud for the first time about how well his daughter has developed as a gynecologist. Piwi, on the other hand, lacks the necessary seriousness. Much to Christian's annoyance, his son closes his practice in the middle of the week and goes hiking with his girlfriend Anke. The first argument between the young practice partners is inevitable. Still confused by her feelings after her one-night stand with Yannick, Christian's youngest daughter Clara fears she's pregnant. At first, she doesn't dare talk to her father about it and finally confides in Lisa, from whom she'd like to get the morning-after pill. But it's too late, and now it's a matter of waiting and worrying... Paul, too, is getting into more and more trouble. In his desperate attempt to impress at school, he uploads a porn film to the boys' chat group. Christian's youngest son didn't expect that Kai would immediately forward the dirty film to the girls. Now his reputation is even more ruined, and even his girlfriend Nina is avoiding him. Paul doesn't know what to do anymore.
The new radiologist, Timotheus von Hatzfeld, makes a good impression professionally - but is causing a stir on a personal level. Especially with Christian's long-time medical assistant, Nora, who, as the only assistant to three doctors and a physiotherapist, is already on the verge of a nervous breakdown and vehemently demands support. She complains to Christian and threatens to quit. Christian takes von Hatzfeld to task. He promises to improve and helps Christian solve a mysterious case of kidney failure. The diagnosis is quickly made - but what is the cause? Could it have something to do with the patient's drinking habits? Meanwhile, the Kleist family's financial difficulties are tightening. Not only is Christian receiving a hefty cease-and-desist letter from a law firm because of the pornography Paul illegally downloaded, but even worse, Anna's main client is insolvent and hasn't paid her last fees. Lisa and Michael's daughter is also causing concern. She's ill, and since Michael, as the newly appointed chief physician at the clinic, has his hands full, Lisa has no choice but to take Rosalie with her to the practice. But the initial sore throat develops into a life-threatening abscess in her throat. A possible operation carries high risks - but can they wait any longer? Piwi proposes romantically to Anke. But Anke declines. Piwi is shocked - he really hadn't expected that. When Anke then reveals to him that she's been offered a trainee position at a luxury hotel in Singapore and intends to take advantage of this unique opportunity, Piwi decides to leave their practice and accompany his girlfriend to Asia. On the other hand, Clara's luck is back on. She isn't pregnant and is very relieved about that. After a long conversation, in which Christian was much more understanding than expected, everything is back on track between her and Christian. When a Berlin music producer unexpectedly offers them a record deal, Clara and her band "Pink Slip" are on cloud nine.
Lisa Kleist's pregnant patient, Madita Krämer, is desperate: Her husband, Thomas, is suffering from uncontrollable sleep attacks. His sudden sleeplessness is putting the heavily pregnant woman under great strain and even putting their son, Max, in grave danger. Christian Kleist can't find anything at first, but with the help of his daughter Lisa and radiologist Timotheus von Hatzfeld, he uncovers Thomas's mysterious illness. Christian's daughter, Lisa, is getting along surprisingly well with Hatzfeld's new colleague. His advances soon impress her more than she'd like, and tension begins to build between the two. The atmosphere between Christian and Piwi is becoming increasingly icy, as Piwi is determined to give up his responsibilities at the practice so he can accompany Anke to Singapore. He doesn't want to live solely for work like his father: Anke and his private life should take priority. While Christian's youngest son, Paul, is having trouble at school, his partner, Anna, is struggling to secure new clients after her main client goes bankrupt. Fortunately, she's able to mitigate a costly warning for Paul's illegal downloads, but the Kleists' financial situation remains difficult. After Piwi's accusations and Paul's problems at school, Christian increasingly doubts his abilities as a father. But work stress and money worries soon take their toll on him so much that he secretly resorts to tranquilizers. Meanwhile, Clara has a clever idea to actively help her family out of their financial predicament.
