With Philipp due back in Germany in 3 days, excited preparations are underway at the castle to welcome him home. Then Hermann announces to Lili that ancient law requires the family to vote on Ben's performance as Baron. And this must occur in 2 days. If Philipp isn't back by then, and the family votes against Ben, Hermann will take ownership of the castle. As Philipp boards his flight from Australia, the teenagers make plans to ensure that everything possible is done to ensure the family are impressed by Ben's smooth running of the castle. They organise an extravagant garden party and invite the Mayor and other local dignitaries — all of whom they know will speak highly of Ben to the family. This will be followed by a magnificent lunch — prepared by one of the best chefs in Lower Saxony. Lili leaves no stone unturned in order to win the family to their cause. But Hermann is equally determined and it's not long before things spiral downwards as he sabotages all the teenagers' good work. This time, it looks like he might win the day after all.
