Episode five finds Franz going back to basics, living in his old apartment and trying to make a living by selling newspapers. Things take a weird turn when he meets Reinhold, a man who grows tired of his partners rapidly and convinces Franz to act as the stepping stone for them, so that he can move on to the next. At some point Franz, who again has no trouble charming these women, decides to break this pattern and get in a serious relationship with one of them, Cilly. He thinks Reinhold is a good man despite his flaws and wants to help him get on the right track. The dynamic between the two men and their interactions will play a key role for the rest of the series.
