The water disappears and the future is slowly looked back: Ronnie wants to go abroad with his family and Stein goes in search of Kimmy with news about her mother. When Marion and Robert decide to stay together for their daughters, Naomi and Britt both indicate that they want to continue somewhere else. Now they are faced with the choice of what their future, together or alone, will look like. Kreuger is developing a revolutionary future plan for the Netherlands.

It becomes increasingly clear to him: the prime minister is responsible for his loss.
