The department store Jonass has changed from a credit to a luxury department store - and Vicky is promoted to department manager. A lot has happened in her private life too: She is the mother of three-year-old Hanni and has a new partner at her side in Wilhelm, who is now even proposing to her. Harry and Helene are returning from the States where they have been for the past three years. Helene has accepted a position at the Charité and Harry has decided to get a record deal. But back home, Harry longs for Vicky. In recent years she has never answered his letters. Still, his feelings for her haven't changed...

Harry tries out hits to finally gain a foothold as a musician. Gerd is accepted into the SA. The new Jonass opens successfully. But there is a crisis between Alice and Arthur because Arthur wants to make Ilsa managing director.
