Nina gets in trouble with her father when he finds out she was the one who damaged the headmistress’s car. Meanwhile, Leila’s ex-partner Mark shows up to help Milla clean their filthy apartment.

Milla, Leila, and Mark have cleaned the place up for Ms. Wiedemann's visit. Is everything going to go as planned?

The Peppercorns finally find out why Nina was bullied at her old school. Meanwhile, Emma has a guilty conscience about having lied on Milla’s behalf — did she do the right thing? Jan heads over the next day to try to sort things out with Milla and her mother in person.

Jan finds Milla’s mother just in time, and makes sure that she is taken to hospital. But where’s Milla? Emma and Nina go looking for her. With everything resolved, it’s time for the new team of Peppercorns to take the oath.

Nina is acting quite strange... Could it be that she's in love? Meanwhile, the donation box has been stolen from the school administrator’s office!
