What happened in this episode...
Yvonne Kern has found out that her husband has a mistress who is, of all things, an old friend of Emilie. So she joins them on a canyoning tour to get to know the woman who has turned her husband's head. A momentous decision for several people involved.
In the meantime, Markus has thought of a special surprise for Alex. But an assignment once again scuppers his plans. As Tobi is busy at the hotel and unavailable, Markus has to step in. There is also potential for conflict between Tobias and Katharina. The doctor would like to build her own home, but needs her share of the inheritance to do so. A wish that her brother is unable to fulfill.
Johannes Kern has seen through his wife's plans and follows her. An argument ensues and Yvonne disappears from the mountain hut during the night and falls. While Markus and his colleagues set about rescuing Yvonne the next morning, the next accident occurs. Johannes falls down a waterfall while trying to get to Yvonne. Emelie, who was on the spot, tries to help him but gets her leg trapped under water and is in danger of drowning. But Tobi, Markus and the rest of the crew join forces to free her. These nerve-wracking scenes bring the second episode to a close.
