During her stay, the holiday home is broken up by Merle's father, and the group discovers Schott in a precarious situation. The next day his body will be found on the beach. Merle informs the village policeman Grit Vierboom (Nadine Wrietz) about her observations, which initially assumes an accident. However, it quickly becomes clear that it is murder.
