Our detectives visit Dr. Hildebrandt, the hospital director's father, and question him about his relationship with Alexander Beck.

Elling is in the hospital, and doesn't know what to say to Susanne when she visits and expresses her concern. When Lona hears what happened, she also comes to visit and discuss what has happened.

Elling goes to search the apartment, but is suddenly struck down from behind. The unknown assailant then starts a fire, which spreads quickly. Meanwhile, in Marnow, the search for Jasper is in full swing, but so far unsuccessful.

When Elling visits his mother at the care facility, he makes an astonishing discovery: Her memory performance has greatly improved! The reason for this is a medication that is still in the testing phase. The manufacturer? None other than Santovaal.
