About this episode

Reproach, stroll down memory lane & subjunctive II with würde.

Paul is back in Munich, riding his bike to Grandpa's apartment. He has the book, but without the important page. His parents are already there. They're clearing all the rooms because he has died. That is why Paul’s mother was so strange on the phone when he was on Sylt. The call wasn't dropped due to bad reception - she hung up because she was crying. When Grandpa's condition got worse and she heard that Paul was on Sylt, she knew he couldn't come back that same day and see him one last time. But knowing that he was going to realize his dream of finding the book and the painting made Grandpa happy in the end. Paul’s father reveals that Fritz's theft is partly to blame for his death. Paul’s parents don't know where the missing page is and stroll down memory lane with his old photos. That's when Paul arrives at the apartment, thinking he is still alive... He never gets the opportunity to normalize his relationship with him, and ask him about the missing page with the important info. What will happen with regard to the missing page and the painting?
