The internet is down at the Beissl house. Therefore, Johanna has to personally deliver the news of the cabaret artist Kuno Horn's death to her father. He was found bludgeoned to death on a forest path. Beissl is devastated, as he was a fan of Kuno Horn and had tickets for his performance that evening in Berchtesgaden.
Horn's agent, Gaby Hoffmann, and the local promoter, Roman Meiser, are shocked by the cabaret artist's death. But suspiciously quickly, they replace him with the more "popular" comedian, Bast Moor.

The discovery of a young man's body in a wooded area leads Jerry and Sophia to the Heubl farm, where endless party nights have been infuriating the residents for some time. The deceased was DJ Dominik, who shared an infatuation with Ramona Sperr with the orphaned farm owner, Linus.
