[PART 1] Ramsau local Hannes Bäcker can finally take his family on a mountain hike, hoping to overcome overprotective wife Silke's paranoia since the long illness of kid daughter Lena, but a wooden bridge breaks. When Andreas Marthaler arrives dangling from the rescue helicopter, he can only grab Silke to safety, Lena falls down the wild mountain stream and probably a waterfall, not found all day. Andreas feels somehow guilty against reason, Silke blindly blames husband Hannes, driving him so desperate, already in therapy, he sees no way out for the family except sending model-son Timo to his own former boarding school, the kid's utter nightmare. [PART 2] Even Andreas sees no point in continuing the search, when Silke claims to have sighting Lena in the forest, where Andreas actually finds another lead, inspiring a new, soon-promising search approach, while abduction theories must be considered. Meanwhile Franz Marthaler fails to get his B&B room ready for his Berlin couple first clients and believes he can invoke a local solidarity rule to dump the on competitor Peter Herbrechter's luxury and Bea gets a farewell party, to start a new life as expecting mother with the daredevil father, Joss.

[PART 1] The rescue team is puzzled when called by an old man who was covered by an earth slide down an Alp, warning there's another victim 'in the mountain' but dying before the helicopter arrives. They and the police only find a non-swimmer who abandoned an small boat in the lake down the slope. Andreas Marthaler and Tobias Herbrechter ignore that Ulli Jäger was thrown down a deep copper shaft by the slide, wounded and desperately seeking a way out. Andreas is shocked when the senior is identified as Alois Maria Kofler, Emilie's father, who left the region years ago when the mine went bust. Emilie and sister Jessika, who left for Salzburg, can only speculate why he returned. [PART 2] While Andreas's and Tobias's fathers bicker over an expensive bottle they now own as last of the 'fab five' rescuers, the active boys finds scientific equipment, the clue to work out an impending geological disaster with major implications on a resort project, which Ulrich studied and was to fix by illegal explosions with two accomplices.
