The impending farewells now become an unchangeable reality at Ludwigsstadt train station, the last stop before the border.

Elling is having major financial problems, and Simon Jäger makes it clear to Peters that Elling, Lona, and Jaspers need to be kept away from Marnow at all costs. At the end of this clip, there is a preview of what's to come in the next episodes.

Just before reaching the final stop in the West, Rudolf opens up about the past he has tried to forget. Sabine, the gymnast, makes a brave decision, and Sascha remains on the train without his friends.

Elling and Susanne have a brief conversation by the pool, marked by mutual caution.

In the end, only love remains, as can be seen in this part. Particularly during a final song performed by the band, a few tears are shed as the reality of the situation sets in.

As Lona and Jasper become more intimate, Elling has to face the reality that his mother is showing signs of dementia.

Personal desires and political reality are forcing all involved to make decisions now. Willi and Elke have found a solution for themselves, but the adults are having a harder time finding common ground.

Jasper meets Lona at the lake where she has her camper van parked. He has information about Beck, which they discuss in the camper, but she seems to have other things in mind...

The imminent division of Germany is marked by deeply personal moments centered on love, freedom—and a little promise that can mean the world.
