The summer is declining, but sorrows and joys are far from over at the little hotel.

Mrs. Frigh is still very captivated by the local farmer, Arne Kokholm, while Mrs. Aurland becomes increasingly careless at hiding her relationship with Weyse. A storm is brewing.

Two of the maids have fallen ill and consequently a fear arises in the kitchen that it might be caused by food poisoning -- and that some of the guests might have gotten it as well.

Mrs. Aurland needs Weyse to look after baby Severin, which has an unexpected effect on the otherwise self-absorbed actor.

Ane is dying to go to Hotel Udsigten to watch Jesper perform but Fie won't let her. Nevertheless, Ane makes plans, which leaves Edith in somewhat of a pickle.

Fie's little sister, Ane, is expelled from her place with the priest, so Fie takes responsibility for her, but Ane is not easy to keep track of. Amanda finally lures Max over to the hotel, where Weyse is being driven mad.

Once again it is summer at the North Sea. The calendar reads 1931, and the newspapers are bursting with articles about bankruptcies and world crisis. That doesn't prevent the regular guests from Copenhagen from returning to the little hotel, where Fie is now in charge of daily management. However, the maid Edith is certain that Fie is dreaming about something else entirely, and therefore she seeks out the spiritual Miss Vetterstrøm to figure out what it is. The royal actor Mr. Weyse is riding a wave of success within the world of the moving picture and, in order to be left in peace for the summer, he has told the press that he is vacationing at Lake Garda, a decision he will come to regret bitterly, as his archenemy from the theatre, Sophus Poulsen, moves into the hotel, accompanied by none other than Weyse's ex-wife.
