You've already taken the biggest step.
You reported the ***.
The fact that you're willing to do this therapy means you're facing your fears.
You can be proud of yourself.
I wouldn't have made it without Tristan.
HE gave me the strength to go through all this until Alexander was finally convicted.
I just want to be myself again so that I can give Tristan back what he deserves.
What he deserves?
I'm not saying that he's putting any pressure on me.
Quite the contrary. Actually, he's really patient.
Is that the reason for you wanting to be in a relationship with him?
You think that's the wrong reason?
Is it?
No, there's much more! Respect, a feeling of security...
He makes me laugh and he knows how to calm me down when I'm having a panic attack.
He's always there for me.
That must feel really nice and calming.
sighs
What you really mean to say is that he's just a crutch I'm leaning onto.
And that I have to handle all this myself before I begin another relationship.
I didn't say any of that.
Yet, you seem to be struggling a lot with these questions.
Maybe we just let this sink in for today.
Nobody, and certainly not me, expects you to provide he solution for your problems on your own.
- Yeah, it was good, I think. - What did the psychologist say?
Daddy, it's a therapist. And she doesn't believe in giving advice, she prefers to help me learn how to help myself.
That sounds really exhausting.
It sure is! Now, I'm having problems I didn't even know I had, before!
What kind of rubbish is that?! She's supposed to help you, not create new problems!
- Hi, everyone! - Hello.
- Look, there she is! - Oh, you've got a new jacket?
Dana, that looks really good!
- Short looks good on you! - Looks great!
Thanks! I just needed a change.
- And I thought that's what you see a therapist for. - How did it go?
I think, Dr Wörth is quite good. I feel comfortable around her.
That's great! I was really hoping that.
Of course you can't say too much after the first session.
I don't want to grill you about this, besides, it's not really my business.
I came here for a different reason. Would you like to join me to Ludwig's birthday party, tonight?
Oh, yes, please, come with us! Like that, Kim and I won't be alone with all these princes, presidents and all the other VIP's.
Thomas! We'll get going, then. I'm sure Mom is already waiting for us to help with the move.
Your mother is truly one of a kind. To just move in with the guy she met in a spa hotel, at her age.
Well, if two people find each other, nothing else matters.
The main thing is them getting along and being happy.
- Bye! - Let's go then!
- Bye! - Bye!
I'd love to come with you, tonight.
So, it was her advice to you not to get involved with anyone, right now?
No, she didn't advise me, at all, she just listened to me and asked a few questions, now and then.
I see. So you figured this out by yourself?
No, I wouldn't go that far. I think I just realised how confused I still am.
I can see that! Tristan helps you, though, and that's good!
Yes, that's great. Yet, is that the right reason to get involved with him,
or does it make me dependent? I first have to learn to be with myself, and live alone, right now, before I immediately start a relationship.
In other words, you and Marlene have a date, tonight? Is it official?
Let's not overstate, now, I'm also her manager and good friend.
But she shows herself at your side, in front of everybody, doesn't she?
But that doesn't mean that Marlene and I are...
Listen, I just want to have a good time, tonight, all relaxed, and then we'll see how things go on.
Before the ***, you guys were practically a couple! And now that she's doing better, can't you just continue where you left off?
I hope so.
Maybe I should cancel on him, tonight. It's just not fair to get involved with Tristan for the wrong reasons.
You want to know what I think? This therapist has made you all confused!
I guess that's also a good thing, after all she's getting paid for making you think hard and reflect.
Which is why it's totally normal that things get mixed up. Even though, things were never quite normal with you.
- Hey! - Maybe it's a good thing for you to go to this party tonight. You'll get some clarity.
You think so?
You will have clarity over what you feel like with Tristan. Is it just gratitude and obligation... or maybe something else, too?
Have you seen Justus? I called for him like a hundred times, I need him to take care of the luggage and a car to the airport!
No, sorry, but I'm sure he's here somewhere.
Ugh, Marlene, no one can bear this!
- It's okay, you have to go, anyways. - Speak! Or I'm gone!
Fine! I just don't know what's right, anymore! I like Tristan, I really do, I wanted this relationship. But then I started this therapy and my therapist said...
Stop! Apparently this therapy is only good for prompting more questions!
Well, my therapist thinks that it's best to take it slow when it comes to this topic.
Marlene, you can keep talking about this for three years, or you can listen to my advice!
If it feels good, do it!
I've got to go! If you want to thank me, just shut up and don't hug me! Can you manage that?
Here you are!
It was just a glass breaking. Have I told you already we're going to do a hunting trip with my father?
The entire family is going to march through the forest,
nobody's going to hit anything and we'll just end up sitting in front of the campfire, grilling marshmallows.
- You should warn the passengers! - You're so right about that.
- You asked me whether I'd sing for your father. - Yes, but...
Hey! You are here. That's all that matters.
You're sure you want to leave, tommorrow?
Yes. I'm really excited about the trip. Even if you can't reach me on my phone, all the time,
I will check my mails regularily, so please keep me posted about your diploma, ok?
- All these nice pictures you sent me... It might actually work, this time. - I'm sure it will
Of course it will! And don't say again: "Something will go wrong!"
Fortunately you've got some positive friends!
We can start soon, right?
- I don't get what's going on! - You will be blown away.
Patience has never been your strong suit.
I haven't sung in public for a while now...Yet, Tristan has aksed me whether I would sing for his father.
So, dear Ludwig: Happy Birthday! This song's just for you.
And for all the ones who love.
- Who might she be talking about?
Well, It's not a car!
Well, after all, I want to make you happy, not our chauffeur!
That would have made me wonder, anyways.
Elisabeth! I don't know what to say!
I wanted your birthday party to be perfect.
You couldn't have made it any more perfect!
A great couple, the two of them! She went out of her way preparing this entire evening.
It's no surprise the Count worships the ground she walks on. Well, there are just some people that are meant to be together.
We'll see how long it'll last.
That was fantasic! You were unbelievable!
Not true, the bridge was awful, today!
Forget it, I know you're just fishing for compliments!
Marlene, about what you said earlier...
There's no one who's more important to me than you. I wouldn't have made it through these last few weeks without you.
I couldn't admit it to myself, until now, but...I love you.
- Are you sure? - Yes, absolutely, I've waited way too long with this!
- Is everything okay? - Yes! Yes, and now kiss me, already!
Who are you? What are you doing here?!
Surprise!
Becci! Where did you come from, all of a sudden?!
At least you still recognise me! Happy Birthday!
Rebecca, welcome home!
My little Becci is back! I can't even tell you how happy this makes me!
You have to thank Countess Anstetten for this! I was uncertain for a long time,
whether I should come at all, but then she called me and made clear to me how happy this would make you.
I was happy to do it. After all, I'm a mother myself.
I'm sure you're quite the perfect mother! Even though Mrs. Anstetten had never met me,
she totally gave me a chewing out! She told me a few things about family that I'll never forget for as long as I'll live.
- I don't know how to thank you. - No trouble at all. It was just a call.
That is the greatest present you can give a father.
I still can't believe it! I was afraid that I'd have to keep relying on your siblings' reporting on how you're doing, for next few years!
Well, I can tell you about it all myself, now.
I can't wait to hear it! I missed you so much, sweetheart!
Okay, I can't breathe!
Oh, I'm sorry! Yes, you take your time to settle in. Justus, let's go in the kitchen, we need champaign and something to eat!
I think this was the nicest birthday present your husband got today. Don't you agree?
Unfortunately, you were not the one to think of it... I guess the fireworks were alright, too.
I will make sure Ludwig will get to know what you're really like. And we both know that he's not gonna like it!
Charming! You've got some nerve to show up here! I assume you blew my money in New York?
Come on, shopping on Fifth Avenue is beyond expensive.
Would you excuse us, please, Ansgar?
With delight! This is your office, after all...at least, for now. But you know, I like it!
Oh, tell me this: what did your little daughter get off you, before she "disappeared"?
A few free flights. Sebastian payed for her apartment near Central Park and Tanja hooked her up with a VIP card.
Well, well! You seem to have inherited the criminal energy from your old father!
It seems to me he's envious because his own intrigues always fail.
Well...we certainly payed you quite a lot, back then, in order to get your vote in the committee. I'm not proud of that.
At some point, I felt like I was only your puppet within the committee.
I'm sorry, I never meant for you to feel that way. As for our fight back then...
You actually thought me capable of steeling someone else's designs and afterwards claiming they were mine!
You humiliated me in front of everyone and made me look like a fool!
You must believe me that I really regret this!
- You trusted Tanja more than me! - NO, not Tanja, Sebastian! I couldn't believe he'd lie to me.
Oh! So you prefered to believe that I was lying?!
I would do things differently, today. Do you forgive me?
I wouldn't be here, otherwise.
Becci, when did you start to drive a motorycle and why did you never tell us about it?!
Probably to make a better surprise appearance! How long will you stay here?
Did this Countess von Anstetten really call you?! That must have been so weird to be invited to father's birthday by a complete stranger.
Okay, one by one...I got the motorcycle two months ago, I don't know yet how long I'm gonna stay for.
And, yes, Clarissa von Anstetten made it clear to me that I have everything I could wish for in New York...except my family.
So, you're staying for a while, then?
What does that depend on?
The job, for example!
Well, that shouldn't be a problem, now that you've won the Young Talent Award!
Yes, that's true! Such a great honour! We were all quite proud of you!
Yet, when LCL lost that trial in the States, the office was sealed up, wasn't it?
Yes. At first, I was out of a job and felt sorry for myself. But then I pulled myself together and the next thing I knew I got a job at Roberto Rubino's!
Not bad! Also, I'm hoping that, as an official talent scout of Lahnstein Entertainment, you knew how to stir up the nightlife of New York.
When I had the time, which was rare. Most of the time I was working.
I remember a time when you missed no single party!
Yes, that was in the past.
Anyhow, it's great you're back, Becci!
Thank you. But...why don't you just call me Rebecca from now on.
- Sure! After all, it kind of fits better, now. - Yes, sure!
