Philipp is determined to flee the country as even Nicola no longer trusts him unconditionally, but after another talk with the detective who has no solid proof, she asks him to stay, promising full support. The butler helps Ludwig discover Maria has been steeling castle keepsakes, which Ansgar eagerly marks proof she's relapsing, but Ludwig grants her the benefit of the doubt, delighted by her promise to move out before his wedding. Maria finds a grand home, but broods on a dark plan for 'her' Ludwig.
