A lot has changed in the Kleist household. Lisa and Michael have finally separated, and Lisa has moved to Paris with her daughter Rosalie. The upstairs apartment in the villa now houses Christian's son Piwi, his girlfriend Anke, and one-year-old Ben. The practice is now financially secure again: Dr. Timotheus von Hatzfeld was rehabilitated with Christian's help and received his license as a pediatric radiologist. All debts have been paid off. Two cases are particularly troubling Christian: a male model suffering from strange paralysis symptoms, and especially Nina, Paul's school friend, whose tonsillitis turns out to be a severe case of diphtheria. A race against time ensues, as Nina needs an antiserum within 24 hours. But no matter what the doctors try, the serum cannot be found in Europe. The next day, Christian travels to Weimar to attend a medical conference. There, he meets a woman who captivates him. They spend the rest of the evening and the night together.

Michael has recommended a doctor he knows from his student days to Christian as Lisa's successor. Christian invites her to an interview and experiences a pleasant surprise: It's the woman with whom he spent a passionate night during the conference in Weimar. At the same time, Christian has to convince two patients to seek treatment: Piwi's former fitness trainer, Robert, is taking a thrombosis lightly and doesn't want to undergo surgery. And the case of Mrs. Lorenz is also causing Christian a headache. Mrs. Lorenz is a spry widow who is looking after her grandson when her daughter is admitted to the hospital with blood poisoning. The emotional strain is too much for Mrs. Lorenz: Wanting to be strong for her grandson and her daughter, she arrives late to see Christian with heart problems and suffers a heart attack. Meanwhile, at the villa, Clara receives a message from her biological father, Justus. He sends her a letter in which he promises to support her financially. The money he wants to transfer to her, however, is intended for her education. Christian thinks this is very decent of Justus, but he's worried about Clara, who is spending the money on everything and neglecting her studies. He would prefer that she confront her biological father - but Clara wants nothing to do with Justus.

Tanja receives confirmation from the licensing office. She can now officially succeed Christian's daughter, Dr. Lisa Kleist, and take over the gynecology department in the group practice. Christian and Tanja have prescribed "professional distance" in their practice. Easier said than done, because when she misses her last train to Weimar at a small welcome party, Piwi naturally offers her the chance to stay overnight in the villa. Masal and Bahar Asidi came to Eisenach as refugees from Afghanistan and live in appropriate accommodation. Although Masal has severe upper abdominal pain, as a devout Muslim, she does not want to be treated by a man. Tanja diagnoses gallstones, but these cannot have caused the subsequent anaphylactic shock. Christian is also puzzled by Svenja Kesting, a friend of Anke's: What could have caused a stroke in a healthy young woman? Christian and Dr. Michael Sandmann attend a climbing taster course. Michael is clearly enjoying the climb, but when he's momentarily careless while abseiling, he loses his footing and crashes into the rock. After a brief loss of consciousness, Christian diagnoses a mild concussion. He would like to examine Michael more closely, but he refuses.

Christian's relationship with Tanja is supposed to remain a secret. As a new gynecologist, she quickly settles into the daily routine of the practice. Her next patient immediately presents her with a challenge: The young woman is experiencing dozens of unwanted orgasms, which are increasingly leading to social isolation. And Christian also has his hands full: A young boy has been suffering from recurring gastrointestinal problems for several weeks. Could the cookies from the bakery where his mother works be to blame? In addition to the patients in the practice, Christian is worried about his friend Dr. Michael Sandmann. He suddenly develops paralysis in his right hand during an operation. A long-term consequence of the climbing accident? Christian and Timo find evidence of a hemorrhage in the spinal cord, which can lead to progressive paralysis and cannot be cured. Is Michael's career over? Meanwhile, Clara contacts her biological father in Canada. When Justus invites her to visit him at his horse ranch, Clara is torn.

An MRI scan reveals that Christian is able to rule out a stroke, but what caused the sudden speech slur and paralysis? The MRI scanner at the group practice needs repairs. The bill presented by managing director Georg Wehner is quite substantial: almost twice the estimated amount. Christian tries to talk to Wehner, but he is stubborn. Either the bill is paid or the MRI scanner is dismantled. Suddenly, Wehner himself is dependent on the MRI and realizes that people's health is more important than insisting on financial demands.

Christian is faced with a difficult patient: Timo's father, diplomat Alexander von Hatzfeld, fears he has Alzheimer's disease. Treatment is proving difficult, as the rift between father and son is deeper than ever. Alexander von Hatzfeld believes his son should use his talent for greater things than being a radiologist in the countryside. Timo, on the other hand, accuses his father of being excessively strict and lacking in understanding of his wishes. Despite all their differences, Timo knows his father well enough to quickly notice that something is wrong. Since his father doesn't want to admit anything, he and Christian come up with a plan to get him to talk.

When Clara has doubts, Christian supports her plans and promises her that, no matter where she is, Villa Kleist will always be her home.
