The Schmidts are in an ice age. Else refuses to accompany Gerd to a ball and Toni senses her chance. Gehlen is also there and Toni watches as he disappears with her father and other men.

Otto John gives Toni the task of finding out who supports "Scipio" financially. She finds what she is looking for in her father's office and comes across dubious payments.

Wolfgang packs his things and drives to Bavaria, where he wants to meet Alois Brunner. The two have more in common than Wolfgang would ever reveal. He even jeopardizes his love for Toni for this.
