By working with the therapy dog, not only the mother begins to open up, but Emma too. But is there enough time? Meanwhile, a painful loss is looming for Paul. His wife Erina moves further and further away from him. The former star ballerina makes the decision to take her life in hand and fight against her disability. However, that she trusts the new veterinarian Eric, makes Paul jealous. Of course, because of his job, he knows where that comes from and how to deal with it - but feelings are just not rational. For Erina's sake, he is ready to completely change his life.
