Glehdorn finds raising orphaned teens Michael and Jennifer and little Toby hard to combine with his mandate, which includes attributing major public works and other contracts. The workaholic is inclined to let sister in law Claudia Weigoldt assume a maternal role, but the kids push their aunt away. As their late mother's testament grants them a home boat on river Müritz, the trio sneaks off the next holiday period to inspect their heirloom retreat, forcing H.W. to dodge work and follow.

- They are actually a mother-daughter team that could hardly be more harmonious: the respected Hamburg pediatrician Claudia Kayser and her almost 17-year-old daughter Carolin. Since the tragic death of her beloved father, the two have become even closer - at that time the girl helped her grieving mother to overcome a difficult emotional depression. In the meantime, Claudia has her life under control again and has found a new life partner in the sympathetic family lawyer Thomas. Meanwhile, Carolin is toying with the idea of following in her mum's professional footsteps, so she does an internship at her mum's hospital. The shock is all the greater when the teenager finds out on her 17th birthday that she was adopted as a baby. Disappointed and deeply hurt, she blames her mother for never telling her the truth over the years. She now wants to find out on her own who her birth parents are. With the help of the youth welfare office, she finds what she is looking for: her mother's name is Chantal, she is in her mid-30s, chronically broke, but always in a good mood. She leads an easy-going life without family obligations and keeps her head above water as a beautician in a small hairdressing salon in Hamburg's Kiez. Carolin is fascinated and impressed by Chantal's carefree manner, as she is so completely different from Claudia, who is buttoned up in a Hanseatic way and always keeps her feelings under wraps. The attempt to get to know each other better at a mother-daughter dinner ends in a scandal due to Claudia's jealous taunts. Nevertheless - or precisely because of this - the relationship between Carolin and her biological mother is becoming ever more intimate. Finally, after a heated argument, the girl leaves her parents' house and moves in with Chantal in her tiny neighborhood apartment. However, it doesn't take long for Chantal to admit that she's still not up to the responsibilities of being a mother. Hurt and once again deeply disappointed, Carolin feels abandoned by her two mothers and runs away.

- Benno Gütermann and his best friend/neighbor Axel Watzke are simple, happy bus drivers in the otherwise isolated Harz small town Wernigerode, until they are fired when car dealer Dieter Brausewetter's company abolishes the unprofitable line. The livelihoods of Benno (and his wife Tanja and preteen son Tommy) and Axel and his equally-happy family, are suddenly crushed and the locals are cut off from the outer world. Shortly afterward, Benno surprisingly inherits a million Euros from a frugal aunt, so he plans to buy and reopen the bus line to run it with Axel, and Brausewetter promises the old bus for free, so the community celebrates them as heroes, albeit everyone hopes for some of generous Benno's new fortune. Brausewetter, who is in financial trouble but hides it, promises his creditors Benno's million by becoming his new best friend, introducing him to the good life and high society, although Tanja had him promise 'nothing would change', but even Axel ends up bitterly estranged. Benno is tempted to invest his fortune in a joint venture with Brausewetter, who promises the chance of a lifetime in a bankrupt count's classic-car collection, which is simply too good to be true.
