Mark Eising believes his marriage wrecked and uses his fists on neighbor Robert Philipsen, whose wife Laura passed on photos of the 'adultering' spouses kissing made by her PI Jürgen Helbing. While there firstborn Fabian and Imme enjoy a budding affair, Robert suffers repeated further abuse but maintains his innocence and files an abuse complaint, forcing the police to investigate the case. Despite Mattes's initial lack of sympathy, he helps verify Tariq's theory that Robert was framed.
