Ulrich runs afoul of the law, Helge tries to dodge Egon Tiedemann, Claudia harnesses the cave's powers, and Katharina lashes out at Hannah.
Prologue
Over close-up shots of the main characters from all years and ages, the elderly H.G. Tannhaus narrates that humankind has always been puzzled over our origin: whether we were created by God or are a product of evolution. If we could simultaneously see the beginning and end, we might find answers on what ultimately is man's purpose.
November 11, 1953
At the Doppler manor, Greta Doppler is worried about her missing son, Helge. She wonders whether he has also been murdered like the two boys found at the construction site or if he ran away after she scolded him about his dirty clothes. Bernd Doppler tells her he is going to inform the police. Meanwhile, a blood-covered Ulrich Nielsen is still outside the bunker, pondering his action. At the police station, Daniel Kahnwald informs Egon Tiedemann that Bernd has reported his son missing. Egon mentions that a man (Ulrich) came the day before, reporting his son missing and asking about Helge. Daniel orders to send an APB but not to mention it to Bernd. Egon enters his office, where Bernd tells him that Helge disappeared at around 3:00 PM the previous day. Bernd tells him to do whatever it takes to find his son; nothing else matters. Claudia Tiedemann and Tronte Nielsen walk through the forest, looking for Claudia's lost dog Gretchen. Claudia compliments Tronte on his hair and says all the girls in Winden will be after him. She asks him if he has a girlfriend; he shakes his head. She asks why he and his mother moved, and Tronte responds that Agnes just wanted a "change." Claudia comments that Agnes is a beautiful and elegant woman. At the Tiedemann home, Doris Tiedemann shows Agnes Nielsen a dress Agnes has lent her. She tells Doris that she looks beautiful and can keep the dress. Doris asks how long Agnes was married: "Fifteen years." Doris tells her she's been married to Egon for nearly ten years, but Egon is not home as much now as he is devoted to his job. She asks Agnes about her husband's job; she answers that he was a pastor but not a "man of faith." Agnes states that he wasn't a good person and that she sometimes thinks it's good that he's dead and that she is free. Doris then tells Agnes she can't accept the dress. At the Doppler manor, Greta confides to Noah, a priest at the local parish, that she never wanted her son Helge and prayed to God to rid her of him. Even after his birth, she wanted something to happen to him, as he may not be Bernd's son and wasn't "created out of love." She can't escape these thoughts. Noah tells her that we are all full of sin; no one is pure. God sent him to her and guides us to our destiny. Ulrich walks along the edge of the forest. Egon drives past him and stops his car. He tells Ulrich to stop, but he runs away from him. Egon chases after him. Ulrich heads toward the Winden Caves, but Egon manages to cut him off and lunges at him just as he nears the entrance. Ulrich recovers and continues toward the caves, but Egon shoots his gun in the air, telling Ulrich to stop and raise his hands. Egon asks him what he did to the boys at the construction site and Helge. Ulrich tells him they can't be there any longer as he changed all that: Helge is dead and won't be able to kill again. Egon tells him he is a maniac and puts a confused Ulrich in handcuffs, continuing to mutter that he changed it. Meanwhile, Helge wakes up in the bunker and gasps.
November 11, 1986
A young man with a ski mask over his head and a plastic sack runs through the forest. The sounds of police bulldogs are heard. He perches behind a tree and takes off his mask for breath. He places his gun in his pants and clutches a bullet wound on his upper right chest. At the high school, teenage Katharina Albers is smoking a cigarette in the yard. Teenaged Hannah Krüger approaches her, asking if Ulrich is still in jail. She responds that they have to release him today. Hannah asks if she knows who turned him in. Katharina shakes her head but tells her if she does find out, she will finish them. Hannah suggests it might have been Regina Tiedemann. She asks if Katharina's mother will freak out if she keeps seeing Ulrich. Katharina responds that she doesn't care since love is stronger than hate: something Hannah would not understand. At the police station, a disappointed Egon releases Ulrich. He hands the teenager his sneakers and tells him he knows his stare, that he is hiding something and is involved with everything. He tells him he can feel it in his bones. Ulrich suggests that it may be cancer: he should get it checked. Jana Nielsen approaches Egon and slaps his face, and tells him to stay away from her family, threatening to have him taken from Mads's case. Ulrich looks back at Egon with a smug grin. Claudia Tiedemann climbs down into the cavern of the nuclear plant with a Geiger counter. She sees the yellow barrels, which causes the counter to beep. Suddenly, a dog comes running toward her, and she thinks it might be the long-lost Gretchen. After he is released, Katharina asks Ulrich why Egon has it in for him. Ulrich replies that he thinks he's the Antichrist. Katharina spots Regina walking over and shoves her. She accuses her of telling her grandfather lies about Ulrich as revenge for when they left her in the forest. She tells her that it was just a game and they would never have left her all night. She shows the bruises on her face and tells her mother caused them after the rape accusation, which was a lie. She knees Regina in the stomach, and Ulrich tells her to stop, but the fugitive young man comes toward them and yells at them to stop. Katharina tells him to mind his business, but the young man tells her to apologize. When she hesitates, he pulls out his gun. Katharina questions whether it is real. He shows her the bullets and tells them to go, threatening to hurt them if they attack Regina again. Katharina and Ulrich leave. The young man tells Regina everything will be okay but then collapses, and Regina sees he is bleeding and needs a doctor, which he refuses. She offers to bandage him at her house. The man introduces himself as "Aleksander." Claudia drives to the Doppler mansion to meet with Bernd, leaving Gretchen in the car. She questions Bernd about the incident the previous summer. He explains there was an incident in the volume control system. Connections were corroded, and hydrogen was set off, but the reports' statements differed from what happened. He affirms that only a tiny amount of radioactive material leaked, the floors were changed, and everything was stored safely. Only a few people know about it; all were handsomely rewarded for keeping their mouths shut. He tells her not to make a big deal of it. Claudia asks if anything more happened. Bernd tells her there are no absolute truths, just stories, and she must decide what story she wants to tell. Helge Doppler emerges from his bunker with a plastic bowl. His older self from 2019 is watching from behind a tree. At the police station, Egon sits in his office waiting for Helge to arrive for his meeting at 10:30 AM. After he has not shown up by 11:15, he decides to drive to Helge's. Helge hears Egon knocking but hides. Egon looks around but eventually gives up and leaves, much to Helge's relief. Aleksander returns to the forest and places his gun and two passports into a plastic bag. One is in the name "Boris Niewald," height 172 cm, and has his picture, while the other is in the name "Aleksander Köhler," 175 cm, and has someone else's picture. Before burying the bag, he memorizes the name "Aleksander Köhler" and the birthdate of January 21, 1965. Hannah is hiding behind a tree and observing him. At the power plant, Claudia is in her office with Gretchen. Her secretary Jasmin Trewen informs her that a friend of Regina has come and is seeking a job at the nuclear plant. This surprises Claudia as she did not think she cared about boys (or had friends). Aleksander says he is new in town, is a metal worker, and wants a chance. Claudia apologizes that she doesn't need anyone currently but might soon. He tells her he'll come by the next day. Meanwhile, Regina brushes her hair (and appears to be taking an interest in her appearance for the first time). In the decorated torture room of the bunker, Noah and Helge are working on the chair. Helge asks him why it doesn't work, to which Noah responds that it will: he must be patient. Helge protests that he doesn't want to continue doing this. He asks why God would want to do this. Noah tells him people who have suffered cling to hope, but there is neither a God nor a plan; the world is full of pain and chaos. He hugs Helge. Noah tells him that the world is doomed to be destroyed, but the chair is their ark, and he is Noah. They can change everything and remove the world of all evil and pain. They can create a time machine that will reorder the world.

Mysteries
•Is there a bigger reason as to why Agnes moved into Winden? Who was her husband? •Who is the true father of Helge Doppler? •What crime did Aleksander commit in 1986 that forced him to change his identity? •Why is Noah using children as test subjects for the chair? •Where has Claudia been? How did she become a time traveller? What did she mean by "Before that summer and everything else that followed it."? •Why does Noah want Bartosz as an accomplice? •What did The Stranger need the toxic waste for? •How come that Gretchen disappeared in 1953 can reappear in 1986? Can an animal open the door "Sic Mundus Creatus est"? •If the Stranger comes from the Future, how can he know about the accident happened during summer 1986? •From where Old Claudia has taken the Blue Print given to Adult H.G.Tannahus?
Answers
•The black eye that Katharina in 1986 had was inflicted by her abusive mother, not Ulrich. •Aleksander Tiedemann's real name is Boris Niewald, and is a fugitive on the run. In 1986, he somehow got shot through his upper right breast or right shoulder blade. That's how he has those scars on his shoulder blade when Hannah was massaging him ("Secrets"). •Helge traveled to 1986. •The torture bunker is set in 1986. Noah and Helge in 1986 are trying to make a working time machine to apparently change the course of events. They were sacrificing children as test subjects to do so. Noah claims to Helge in 1986 that he is performing acts of God and salvation, since his goal was to escape the trauma from his encounter with Ulrich in 1953. The main idea of their goal is salvation. •In "Truths", Bartosz met Noah for the first time, believing he was a drug dealer. During the time, Noah lectured Bartosz about the time travel situation and told him predictions of the near future. This is part of his plan to recruit the teenager as an accomplice. •The secret of the Nuclear Plant is revealed. In the summer of 1986, an incident happened in the volume control room, which resulted in radioactive waste and (seemingly) the creation of the wormhole. Bernd covered it up and hid the barrels in the cave. Somehow, the radiation and leaked substance influenced the wormhole's power. Bernd managed to get Claudia on board with the concealment, and later, Aleksander. When the police threatened to search the area in 2019, Aleksander had to make the time to remove the barrels and place them in a truck. That was the meaning behind the conversation he has with Jürgen Obendorf, and those barrels were the secret items he was transporting away ("Lies"). This also explains the tire tracks Charlotte discovered ("Crossroads"). Currently, those barrels are stationed near Bernadette's trailer. •Tannhaus in 1953 is building the time machine at the instructions of Claudia.
Observations
•Katharina was a bully in her school and now she is the principal. But her bullying character has not changed - she hits Regina Tiedemann, charges into Charlotte's office, and scolds her and after that confronted Hannah violently about her cheating with Ulrich. •Bernd in 1953 is worried for his nuclear plant, judging by the situation from the day before. However, the nuclear plant will be built anyway because it already exists in the future. •It is the first time that we see in the same place two versions of the same character : we have old Helge 2019 who has travelled in 1986 where there is Adult Helge 1986. We cannot say nothing, for the moment, about Jonas and the Stranger in 2019 and 1986. •During the opening, a close-up shot of Aleksander was revealed before he was properly introduced. •The order of main characters displayed in the opening is aligned with the order of main cast members in the credits. •This marks the second time Ulrich has been arrested by Egon in his life. •There are clear shots of Helge's ear 1986, mangled by Ulrich in 1953 •Ulrich does two chases in the woods in this episode (with Helge and with Egon) •Agnes is referring to het husband as not a good man and already dead. We cannot be if it is true or not •Egon Tiedemann's hatred for Ulrich Nielsen technically started in 1953, way before Ulrich would have been born (1971). •The definition of APB is an abbreviation for "All Points Bulletin", which is a notification among police agencies about a wanted person. The APB will usually describe the suspect and provide directions regarding the apprehension. •Claudia in 1953 asks Tronte if he has a girlfriend; later they'll have an affair. •Doris married Egon in 1943 or 1944, but Claudia was born in 1942. This means that she was born before their marriage. •Doris seems to be hiding a sort of passion for Agnes. •Greta in 1953 says that Helge was the result of some other sexual event, which didn't involve love or passion. She pauses mid-sentence as if she refuses to reflect on a memory. She was possibly raped. •This episode notes that Katharina in 1986 has an abusive mother. This foreshadows the introduction of Helene Albers. Hannah in 1986 seems to be aware of the abuse. •Hannah's unhealthy obsession with Ulrich continued for decades. •Ulrich 1986 tells Egon that he may have a tumor and it is better to go for an examination. •Ulrich and Katharina were smoking by the same watchtower Jonas was sleeping in at the beginning of "Crossroads". •Aleksander's gun is a six-shot pistol. •Claudia in 1986 doesn't seem to be confident that the poodle she found is really Gretchen. She wanted to make sure of it by questioning Bernd about the incident. •Claudia has the door sealed but in any case from the woods you can still access it, in fact Charlotte in 2019 entered that cave. What makes Claudia sealed is another access to the cave of barrels which can be reached from the Caves and which Ulrich enters when he first enters the caves to look for Mikkel. •The three cylinders of gears in the portable time machine likely represent the three interconnected years. •This episode shows the fall of Hannah and Katharina's friendship. •Magnus doesn't tell Martha about his recent relationship with Franziska. •When Bartosz tells Claudia that Regina won't be home soon, he refers to his own mother by her actual name. •Claudia tells Bartosz that her photo with Regina was taken before "that summer". This could be referring to the summer of 1986, when the wormhole was opened. It could also be referring to the summer of 1987, when Claudia disappeared from Regina's life after being ensnared into time travel. Or could be again the summer of 1986 when she was bullied by Ulrich and Kathrina. •Hannah refers to her and Aleksander's conversation about there being a time for everything ("Secrets") while blackmailing him. •Wöller is involved with the cover-up of the nuclear plant incident. •When we transition to 1986 from the moment Bartosz talks to Noah (in 2019), the ticking noise doesn't play.
