They bury their quarrel with a friendly kiss, not noticing that Marius is watching them. The mood at the rowing club is testy. Beate and Sammy get into a fistfight, which John has trouble settling. Patrick demonstratively takes Sammy's side. He has no idea what the consequences will be. A letter from Clemens in Paris confronts Dorothee once again with her marriage and the issue of divorce. But she has long since made up her mind.
