Bernd is puzzled that Matthias obstinately wants to use the sick mare Amelie as brood mare. This makes no sense to him as stud farm owner and he makes a decision regarding the horse. Franz is also worried about his son, and he thinks a holiday may be a good idea and spontaneously books a trip to Mallorca. But before he even gets to the airport, Matthias behaves irrationally and is brought to a hospital for tests. Bea finds it hard to set clear priorities and the farm work is left to Karl yet again.
