Karl and Hermann are fighting again. Karl feels he is being used by his father and wants him to write over the farm to him now that he is married and working it. Christina fears all her efforts to be on a good footing with the family may have been for nothing. Alex Fehrenbach is feeling uncomfortable living in the house on the farm with Monique. Grandfather Wilhelm is making it very clear that he doesn't approve of the young man's presence on the farm. Alex's only hope is that Wilhelm may return to Africa later in the year.
