- 1982–5.7 (8)TV EpisodeCharles Darwin, son of a wealthy English family or Trinitarian protestants, initially planning a life of leisure or entering the religious ministry, chose instead to pursue his fascination for nature. His social standing enabled him to board the HMS Beagle on a cartographic world tour. He barely suffered witnessing the harsh flogging regime of his hard-line Tory host, captain Fitzroy, but stumbled upon evidence for his theory of evolution. Despite initial scientific acclaim, realizing the theological implication Genesis isn't literally true made him wait 20 years, after the loss of a daughter which made him question his Christian faith, when another could have beaten him to the post, to publish his On the Origin of Species. It started an unprecedented controversy which lasts till today, denied by so-called Creationists. Thus the impeccable scientist is sometimes considered a heretical icon.

- The Zweiflers, especially Mimi, are preparing the circumcision ceremony over Saba's head, and even Mimi's sister Tammi and her daughter Debbie are coming from New York to attend. In the hustle and bustle, however, they don't notice how Saba is giving up on things. When she disappears with the baby, Samuel is helpless. Meanwhile, Symcha is coming under increasing pressure. In his clever ruse to put the blackmailer out of action, he has inadvertently put the police on the trail of his secret.
- Things are not going well for the Zweiflers: grandson Leon gets everyone worked up at the vernissage of his hyped exhibition with a provocative family portrait. His mother Mimi now knows for sure that her husband Jackie is having an affair and Samuel's relationship with Saba is in crisis. Dana wants to stay with her children after returning from Israel. She stands behind Symcha, who is being blackmailed, and agrees to take over the business.
- Samuel is worried about his grandmother Lilka. She keeps her health a secret. A visit to the doctor brings a sad certainty, which Samuel must keep to himself. As the birth of his child approaches, he threatens to break under the pressure. On the one hand, Samuel is prepared to do anything to get Saba to agree to the Jewish initiation rites for the baby. On the other hand, he struggles with the idea of leaving his family behind now of all times to go to Japan with Saba.
- It's five to twelve - or after that? Symcha has little time to evade arrest as a murder suspect. Samuel, meanwhile, believes that his love for Saba is lost. The circumcision of his son - and thus acceptance into the Jewish community - seems unattainable. However, when she leaves, Saba has an experience that makes her rethink things. After the investor deal fails, Dana is determined to lead the family business into the future.

- Henry is alone in a silent and darkened apartment, anxious and waiting by the phone, as his small child sleeps. Finally, a call. His wife Claire is on the other side of the world on a beach at a luxury resort, drunk, also in the dark, but apparently with another man. An adulterous affair, or a life in danger? In the harrowing wait and frantic calls that follow, is it his marriage, his wife or his sanity that is most under threat? The telephone line is the single fragile thread that connects them. All Henry can do is to hang onto that phone.
- Samuel is looking forward to his baby with Saba, who is given an exuberantly warm welcome by his family. Her mother-in-law Mimi takes the pregnant woman on an outing. What seems like a spontaneous idea, however, follows a plan. Saba is less than enthusiastic when she realizes what is expected of her: not only her baby, but she too is to become Jewish. Symcha, meanwhile, tries to instill the values of the traditions in his grandson Samuel.
- Business Process Outsourcing' (BPO) is the fastest-growing industry in the world. In India, approximately 350,000 people are currently working in call centres to maintain contact between western companies and their customers. Vikhee Uppal is just one of them. From a busy office in Calcutta, he pretends to be a guy named Ethan Reed and calls Americans, Brits and Australians to try and sell them cell phones and subscriptions. Vikhee hopes to make it in this sector. On the bulletin board, we see him and his colleagues keep track of who sells the most. The Americans are the most impolite: they yell at the salespeople and hang up on them. The English, on the contrary, are the most willing to listen to the sales pitch. Even though Vikhee at work pretends to be a Westerner, Indian traditions remain very important for him. He wants to get married to a girl from Punjab, and if he doesn't find one himself, his family will find a bride for him. At work, Vikhee gets tutored in English. Each night, he watches English soccer matches to get an idea of what the people on the other end of the line actually look like.
