It's preseason. The islanders are tight on cash and try to keep their heads above water with not entirely legal transactions until the tourists arrive. Catherine is annoyed. Everyone also wants legal tips from her on how to cheat their way through with their illegal tricks, but she herself is having trouble landing her next job as a lawyer. The only change during this time: the annual bossel tournament. Thies succeeds in throwing the decisive shot against the Hoogen team. The Berlin archaeologist Jens Jeschen considers the victorious Boßel sphere to be a medieval celestial globe. The islanders provide evidence to the contrary with a black-and-white film: Thies' grandfather once found the bullet in a fox's den. When trying to "confiscate" the Boßelkugel to examine it on the mainland, Jens falls to the ground in a faint. Berit Petersen diagnoses amnesia. Jens needs a few days of rest, which he finds in the boarding house with Katharina and her mother. When Katharina finds Jens the next morning with excavation tools near the fox's den, she confronts him. Jens admits his amnesia is fake - but only so that he can find the Viking grave and treasure he suspects on the island before grave robbers do and the site is lost to science. Catherine believes him. In the meantime, word has gotten around about the Viking grave and the islanders are getting into the gold rush mood.
