Episode list

Jansdorf's new village curate Benedikt Hofmann seems suspiciously focused on intimately and elaborately 'comforting' lonely female parishioners, like Amelie Schneider, whose doted but cardiac husband Robert's fatal fruit tree fall on their anniversary crushed her. Daughter Louisa 'Lou', a Berlin student and party guest, whose workaholic fiance Andi gives law firm business priority even to her fertility cycle high-points, is openly suspicious of the unshakable priest, but powerless. Lou must make the funerary arrangements as Amelie can't face anyone, except the seductive priest, who also fancies wheelchair-ridden Georg Quirrenbeck's devoted wife Irmela, who feels reduced to his private nurse. Driving home, Lou picked up and found comfort with hitchhiking tramp Gilbert, self-reliant son of thieving whore Lydia Kalinke, and offered him temporary lodging in the parental garden shed, where they became lovers.

New editor Adam Birnbaum, who imposes a totally new style in everything to fight crashing sales, demands from lifestyle magazine Cosma backbencher Hanna Rübenstrunk within five days a cover story on online dating. Using a fake profile at "Dating 2.0", she falls in virtual chat-room love with 'fellow marathon runner' "Boris68", ignoring it's her boss. Hippie mother Keilash being in irresponsible airhead, Hanna must see dear schoolboy brother Philipp doesn't fail his exams due to Anarcho-Queen lover Helena, and babysit for sister Toni. Only at their first rendezvous, she realizes "Boris68" is Adam Birnbaum., panics and runs, sending an excuse. She fails to find an alternative date to meet the headline, is found-out by Boris, learns his career-crushing past tragedy, resigns and still hands in a cover story.
