Maxi Saalfeld is dealing with more than just the pressures of life at Fürstenhof; she's battling her health. Following her sudden collapse, she finds herself under examination at the hospital with no clear physical cause, leaving her and those closest to her worried. It’s Henry Sydow, who has been by her side, offering support and confessing his heartfelt feelings for her.
On March 13, 2025, the drama escalates as Christoph Saalfeld seeks to win back the trust of Alexandra Schwarzbach. Determined to rekindle their romance, he organizes a romantic dinner, hoping it will rekindle their bond. "I need to reflect on what truly matters to me," Maxi reveals, emphasizing the personal hurdles she must tackle, even as Henry pushes her to prioritize her wellbeing. “Maxi, come on, you have to take care of yourself first,” he insists.
But things at the Fürstenhof aren’t just about affection, as tensions rise between Erik Klee and Yvonne. After Yvonne's oversight during the fashion show, Erik withdraws emotionally, leading to significant strain. Their relationship hangs by a thread, and when communication resumes, Erik insists, “We have to take it slow and find our way back to each other.” Yvonne’s ambitions clash with her relationship, leaving both uncertain of their future.
Greta Bergmann, still haunted by her breakup with Miro, seeks solace and possibly love with Yannik. Their first date leaves something to be desired, but as Yannik finds ways to make her laugh, their connection grows stronger. Meanwhile, Yvonne receives news of a significant job offer, solidifying her professional aspirations but at the risk of creating distance from Erik.
On March 14, after Maxi's stress-related collapse is confirmed, she resolves to take steps back from the chaos of her life, symbolizing self-care as she tells Henry, “I need to take this break, figure things out.” Support from her friends begins to shape her recovery as Henry reassures her of his commitment.
Alexandra, meanwhile, grapples with her relationship with Christoph. Despite his efforts and his heartfelt sentiments, Alexandra finds herself anxious. At one point, she boldly states, “If you really love me, you need to show it,” challenging Christoph to prove his commitment. This ultimatum highlights the increasing pressure on their relationship.
Fast forward to March 17, and the pressure mounts. Maxi takes decisive steps, contemplating moving away from Fürstenhof to recharge and regain her health. Amidst this, Alexandra confronts Christoph with her doubts, leading to yet another layer of tension between them.
Erik finds himself torn as Yvonne’s career offers loom. On March 18, he underlines, “This isn’t easy for me,” as they try to reassess their relationship. Compounding their struggles, Greta faces emotional turmoil with Yannik's ex-girlfriend appearing unexpectedly, testing her trust.
By March 19, as Maxi prepares to leave, Henry surprises her, hoping to convince her to stay. At the same time, Christoph battles internally over Alexandra's decision, realizing he needs to step up more than ever.
