Mayoral elections in Deekelsen: Although he is in the middle of the election campaign, Mayor Hermann Löhr becomes engaged to Brigitte Davis, with whom he wants to spend his retirement. Brigitte's son Peer, who has now joined his mother's construction company as a junior, finds out by chance that the soup kitchen is to make way for a fast-food chain. Brigitte's position as First Lady of Deekelsen would be just right for the implementation of the project. The resolute businesswoman is not at all happy that the country doctor is thwarting her plans. As Löhr, a recovering alcoholic, is struggling with health problems during the stressful election campaign, Dr. Jan Bergmann advises him to withdraw his candidacy. If he starts drinking again, his life would be in danger. When Löhr decides, after careful consideration, not to run again, Brigitte punishes him by withdrawing her love and pushes the project forward behind his back. When she takes photos of the building for an exposé, Mrs. Jürgens, the soup kitchen manager, becomes suspicious and confronts the mayor. Anja and Erik invite their friends Maren and Jan to a barbecue, but Louisa, who is just getting her first teeth, just whines. When things get so bad that they can no longer have a proper conversation, the young parents drive home early with the little girl. For the first time since their daughter's kidnapping, the two consider hiring a babysitter so that they can finally have some time for themselves and their friends. To make amends, they invite Anja and Erik to the inn, and Mrs. Jürgens kindly agrees to look after little Louisa. Although they agreed not to talk about babies, Jan and Maren become nervous as the evening progresses, and again the two end the evening early. When they arrive at the country doctor's house, Louisa is wide awake, but Mrs. Jürgens has fallen asleep. Although she claims not to have had any problems with Louisa, you can see how exhausted she is. Meanwhile, Erik and Anja come up with a plan: the stressed parents need help.
