[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

 

Ben: Caro...what are you trying to tell me?

 

Caro: That I didn't trust you..that was so dumb...let's just forget about all of it and start over.

Please give us another chance..I...I love you.

 

(And the best way of showing that is by sleeping with your father..repeatedly..without protection.I hope he doesn't have Chlamydia, cause wouldn't THAT be awkward at the family practician's?)

 

[Intro]

 

[Still Standing By Ben’s Car]

Caro: This thing between us…..that's something special! (Sacriledge!Jenny's line!)

 

Ben: That's a lie. I don't love you.

 

Caro: But feelings can grow.

 

Ben: No they can't. That's bull...and unfair to you.

 

Caro: No..

 

Ben: I'm sorry….it's over.

 

He goes to get in his car when she yells after him.

 

Caro: If that's how you want it…..then everyone will find out about you and Vogel's affair!

 

Ben: Suit yourself...

 

He gets in his car and drives off, leaving Caro fuming.

 

[At Timo’s Locker]

 

Luzi: Well?

 

Timo: Wow..you startled me!

 

Luzi: Bad conscience?

 

Timo: Are you starting again?

 

Luzi: Yes..and I don't believe you, that you don't remember anything,,,..you were as ‘drunk’ as I was…

 

Timo: I'm not saying that I can't remember anything at all, I'm just saying that it didn't mean anything.

 

Luzi: So….a kiss doesn't mean anything?

 

Timo: No, but yes of course it does..Luzi...I like you… a lot! We've known each other forever...it was a special evening….the New Year….we were totally hyped up and confused..it was a slip.

 

Luzi: For the second time around? Timo looks guily. How are we supposed to go on?

 

Timo: As always..we're friends, and not even some stupid kiss is going to change that!

Come on, Luzi, old buddy! Is everything alright?

 

Luzi: Sure, everything’s alright. (Except it’s not!)

 

[Staircase]

 

Caro is sitting on the staircase….crying… in everyone’s way, when Lohmann passes by….

 

Lohmann: You weren't able to find a better spot?

 

Caro: I'm sorry.

 

Lohmann: It's alright. Whatever it is, I hope you'll soon be getting over it.

 

Caro: It's Ben..he called it quits.

 

Lohmann: Oh….(SO does not care, but hands her a tissue anyway) Here….your make up is getting a life of its own.

 

Caro: He just dropped me like a hot potato..and everything that has been..is supposed to have been nothing but a lie? He doesn't love me. He only loves….

 

Lohmann: Himself? That's the way men are. (Women are so much better.Cross over to my side, young,impressionable student..we have organic cookies..and Jennifer Hartmann!) Forget about him..one can't be kept down by one's losses, Caro. Erase it from your memory, redirect your focus on you, your goals, the next game...

 

Caro: This isn't about a f**** Volleyball match!

 

Lohmann (worst compassionate teacher in history): No, it's about the attitude. Think about the victories and not the losses, then success will follow. Hands Caro the rest of the tissues Chin up! And don't you run after him. If he doesn't want you, he's not the right one after all.

 

Caro stays on the stairs, looking miserable, while Lohmann walks off….

 

[Teacher’s Lounge ]

 

The teachers are having a meeting…

 

Bea: New lighting equipment, chairs and...I don't know. I'd rather not agree to all of this without Ms. Krawczyk's approval first.

 

Götting: condescending chuckle Despite the fact that no one asked for your approval, Ms. Krawczyk isn't here right now to voice her opinion, and it is highly doubtful that she will ever return.

 

Jäger: Of course the Principal is going to return when she has recuperated!

 

Götting: To my knowledge, you are still in charge of the school office, and not the personnel dispatchment of the school authorities.

 

Jäger: But..

 

Götting: No buts, Frau Jäger! Go ahead and take your card with you, and take care of making sure that we’ll finally have fresh coffee in here! My God! The janitor and cleaning staff will want to weigh in with their opinion next!

 

[Bergmann Mansion]

 

Damien Rice is singing!!!

 

Ben walks into his room, dumps his bag on the floor and falls into bed. His phone rings and it’s Caro, but he ignores her call.

 

We cut to Caro walking down the street, putting her phone away….she’s having flashbacks of Ben in the pool during the pool party…. Them making out in the pool….

 

Back to Ben on the bed… he’s deleting the picture of Caro in the red dress….and now staring at the creepy Bea pic…

 

Back to Caro…. Now remembering what Lohmann told her….Lohmann flashback (not what you're thinking): Forget about him! One can't be kept down by one's losses!

 

[Hospital Room]

 

Krawczyk is lying in bed, and Jäger is showing her the ‘Get Well’ card…

 

Krawczyk: That's sweet!

 

Jäger: Everyone signed! Even Herr Götting!

 

Krawczyk: Herr Götting hopes I get well soon. I guess I'll have to take that as ironic.

 

Jäger: But do tell…. how are you? What do the doctors say?

 

Krawczyk: I'm pretty ok, considering the circumstances.

 

Jäger: That's good news.

 

Krawczyk:The tests showed that I have pancreatitis.

 

Jäger: Is it bad?

 

Krawczyk(laughs): No. I'm getting medication and am supposed to take things easy.

 

Jäger: Good. It's high time that you get back behind the wheel. Götting spewed his poison around again earlier….. “one can't know” if you'd return at all…. Krawczyk looks away and suddenly Jäer is worried… You...you will be returning..right?

 

(Pancreatitis is a severe disease, which does not involve medication, except for pain meds, or, rarely, an antibiotic. Credit to the terrible medical research team, though, for knowing that it is also associated with drinking.)

 

[At school]

 

Michael and Bea are just leaving.

 

Bea:Lights, new equipment, seats, that-

 

Michael: Yeah, Götting really does seize every chance to show people how he pictures the future of Pestalozzi!

 

Bea: But not with a musical event! Up until now he has done everything to prevent my AG from success, and now? Now he wants to get us a top notch system with the donations! Something is not right!

 

Michael: Well, our deputy headmaster is a damn opportunist. If something seems promising, he does it! He doesn't care about whatever stupid thing he said yesterday, but don't worry about Götting, the most important thing is that we get a proper show going.

 

Bea: Yeah, you are right. Still, I’ll be happy when Frau Krawcyk is back...

 

Michael: So will I.

 

Bea: So, how about it?! Feel like grabbing something to eat with me?

 

Michael: Umm... I already have plans with Karin.

 

Bea: Well... When love calls, you have to go after it, huh?!

 

Michael: Yeah... Maybe another time.

 

Bea: Maybe!

 

Michael: See you (he leaves)

 

[Hospital Room]

 

Gabriele: I worked myself into the ground for years in everyday school life, maybe for way too long. You know the result of that.

 

Ingrid:But what's it going to be like without you?

 

Gabriele:You honour me with your loyalty, but maybe my time is simply up. Maybe it's time for someone like Götting.

 

Ingrid:Nooooo...

 

Awww....Gabriele grabs Ingrid’s hand

 

Gabriele: Just try seeing it from a different perspective. Götting wants to get things done for the school, and he does it in a different way than we would, that's probably just... a difference of generations.

 

Ingrid:No. What's right is always right, and what's wrong is always wrong, and what Götting wants to do with the school is and always will be wrong. You can't just give up!

 

Gabriele apparently seems to differ, even though she doesn't like it.

 

[Chulos]

 

Sophie is sipping her drink at the bar alone when Caro comes along.

 

Caro: Hi! May I sit with you?

 

Sophie: I can hardly forbid you to do so, now can I?

 

Caro orders her drink.

 

Caro: (sitting down, she orders) So, how are things?

 

Sophie: Fine.

 

Caro: Ben broke up with me.

 

Sophie:I already heard. It's understandable.

 

Caro: Sophie, can we maybe talk normally with each other again? We used to be friends.

 

Sophie scoffs....

 

Sophie: Funny what you call friends. I mean, how many times did you try to break me and Timo up again?

 

Caro: That was wrong, I know that.

 

Sophie:Just as wrong as giving me that doping-stuff just so I'd be fit for the team! I can do just fine without a friend like that!

 

Sophie stands up to leave....but is stopped when...

 

Caro: Where's Timo at the moment, by the way? At Luzi's? The two of them are quite the couple!

 

Sophie: Why?

 

Caro: Well, it just seemed that way after how they were flicking their tongues together on New Year's Eve.

 

Sophie:Typical. That's the one thing you're good at, manipulating.

 

Caro: Then ask Timo exactly what he was doing at midnight on New Year's Eve yourself.

 

Sophie realises that she has NO IDEA where he was, and that maaaaybe Caro could be telling the truth....

 

[At school]

 

Bea is heading towards the Office, drinking coffee.

 

Bea: Good morning, Ingrid.

 

Ingrid: Morning.

 

Bea: How's Frau Krawcyk?

Ingrid: She's not doing very well. You do know that she's not in the hospital because of the flu...!?!

 

Bea:She's drinking again? (Ingrid nods)When will she be back?

 

Ingrid: She's thinking about giving up... It's all too much for her.

 

Bea: Well, I kind of can understand her, but...

 

Götting: (suddenly appearing from behind, Frau Lohmann on his heel) Well, what's this dismal mood? Are there any problems?

 

Bea: Uh, no, not at all!

 

Götting:Good. Um, the preparations for the preliminaries are going well? Should you see any need for actions, just come talk to me...I'll take care of it.

 

Bea:Of course. No problem. (she leaves)

 

Ingrid: (kind of running away, as she doesn't want to be alone with them, apparently) I... also... have to... (and she's gone)

 

Frau Lohmann: The only thing bothering me about all this is that Bea will be able to distinguish herself again.

 

Götting: She will a little, but mostly me. Krawcyk won't last much longer, and as soon as I'm Headmaster you won't have to put up with Bea Vogel one more second.

 

Lohmann runs a finger down his chest, smiling at him...

 

[Auditorium]

 

Bea: You'll be able to do this with passion now?

 

Luzi: We'll just try.

 

Timo: Sure, we'll just try.

 

Bea: But?

 

Timo: We'll try!

 

They begin singing Chasing Cars (Wow, what passion! I'm so proud!). Bea thinks so, too, she stops.

 

Bea: What's going on? Did you have a fight?

 

Luzi: Now, we're friends, and I'm an old house. (In German, that's somewhat like “Old sport” – editors note: I would think what she means here is to say “Now we’re friends again, and I’m just a good ole sport.” Being rather sarcastic....)

 

Bea: What?!?

 

Luzi:Nothing...

 

Bea: Did something happen between the two of you?

 

Timo:No! It's just... New Year's Eve and all that parties and... we're just a little out of it.

 

Bea:Fine. If you're out of it, Emma and Hotte will sing now (Yes please. Me gusta!) Let's see how committed they are.

 

Hotte:Cool!

 

Bea: That's what I thought. After all, this is about your first big performance and who will be singing in the end.

 

[Staircase] (Heey! :( I wanted to hear Emma and Hotte! Discrimination!)

 

Caro is going down the stairs with her posse

 

Random chick:{something} is really vintage, it's totally seventies!

 

Caro: Yes! And seventies is sooo nineties again! You won't even get into Chulos with that, and everyone gets in there!

 

Ben: (who's been standing at the lockers (Yes, THOSE lockers!)) Caro?

 

Caro: Hi Ben.

 

Ben: Do you have a second?

 

Caro: If I have must.... They walk towards each other So? What's up?

 

Ben: I can understand that you're hurt, but I wanted to ask you to keep the thing to yourself.

 

Caro: “The thing”!?!? So that's what it's about. You should have thought about that. Are you afraid?

 

Ben: You can say what you want about me, but I don't want anyone else dragged into it.

 

Caro: How very noble of you, but you don't need to worry. I really have better things to do than dwell on your preference for older women. (She turns and walks away)

 

Ben:Caro? Thank you.

 

[Auditorium]

 

(FINALLY! Hotte and Emma singing “Mit Dir”! They are so adorable. We see Timo looking at Luzi...Sophie sees it too and rolls her eyes....Bea claps after they're done singing)

 

Bea: That was great! And since Luzi and Timo probably won't object to it – you two will sing at the preliminaries! So, see you tomorrow!

 

Bea leaves, Luzi looks like she does want to object....meanwhile Emma and Hotte high five each other.

 

[Pestalozzi – Student Lounge]

 

Ben is doing homework. (Is that a calculator and thus math? Hahaha! Is he trying to impress Ms Vogel!?!) Timo walks up and sits down next to him on the couch.

Timo: Sophie really is a great woman. I mean, she gets me without having to talk much, and she doesn't look bad either, right? If one gets to be with someone like that, one should feel really lucky!

Ben: Yes, Sophie is great, and Kemper is a bulldog! If I don’t have done my homework again, he'll throw me out. (Oh, so no math? Chemistry? Physics?) Also, why are you all coming to me with your relationship problems?

[Pestalozzi – Auditorium]

 

Luzi is playing the piano and once again Chasing Cars…. and #Hahe is doing flashbacks of Luzi Chasing Cars with Timo once again…. and of them doing that other duet - the one with their tongues.

[Pestalozzi – Student Lounge]

Timo: Relationship problems? I don't have relationship problems.

Ben: That's obvious.

 

Timo continues to act all confused, and Ben just shakes his head and smiles.

 

 

[Pestalozzi – Auditorium]

Sophie is stalking Luzi chasing cars, and a part of me wants her to burst into song, too, slowly walking up to Luzi, lay her hands on her shoulders and squeeze…. And thus a thousand fanfics would be born...

Sophie: Very touching. (Oh, thanks. I thought so, too! - Oh, you're talking about Luzi's singing, and there's actually a 'sarcastic sign' you're holding up. Okay!)

Luzi: Oh, I didn’t hear you…..

 

Sophie: It's too bad that Timo and you aren't allowed to perform at the preliminary decision for the band-festival together.

Luzi: Hmm...

Sophie: You would be the perfect pair, don't you think? - How long have you know each other again?

 

Luzi: Forever.

 

Sophie: And you like him a lot, don't you?

 

Luzi: Sure.

Sophie: And you also wouldn't have a problem if something more were to become of it….

(Luzi looks away)

 

Sophie: I understand.

 

Luzi: Sophie, if you have a problem with Timo, then resolve it with him, okay? I'm really the wrong person to talk to about that.

Sophie raises her eyebrow and Luzi flees…

[Pestalozzi – Hallway]

Timo is waiting for Sophie.

 

Timo: Man, where have you been? Kemper is already in there! (Oh, so I conclude: It’s not chemistry that they're having now, either. Because Sophie once said, she doesn't have chemistry with Timo. So only physics left. Or in which other subject is a calculator needed, too?)

(Timo leans in to kiss her, but Sophie keeps her distance)

Timo: Is something up?

Sophie: Is it true, what Caro says?

 

Timo: Depends on what she's saying.

Sophie: That you kissed Luzi on New Year's Eve.

 

Timo: The things Caro says when the day is long... - Now, come on, let's go inside – Kemper will make mincemeat of us.

 

Sophie: Did you kiss Luzi? Yes or no?

 

Timo = deer in headlights. …
