Six-year-old Dennis Eckhardt, who is in the consultation with his heavily pregnant mother, Carmela, is also suffering from severe coughing fits. Parcel driver Anton Grützke barely manages to drag himself into the practice with his last bit of strength before collapsing. He is exhibiting particularly severe symptoms and can barely stand upright. Christian, Lisa, and Timo soon realize that this mass outbreak cannot be a coincidence. After Christian informs the health department, it soon becomes apparent that other people in Eisenach are also exhibiting the same symptoms. Is an exotic virus spreading in the city? Finally, Bernd rushes to the practice with the critically ill Inge. Christian diagnoses her with recurrent pneumonia, which requires immediate treatment. But before Inge can be admitted to the hospital, the department imposes a quarantine on the practice - no one is allowed in or out. This also has consequences for Piwi, as he actually wants to take Anke to the airport to see her off before her trip to Singapore. At the practice, the medical team is fighting on several fronts: Dennis' condition is steadily deteriorating, Carmela is about to give birth, and Anton is losing his nerve, while Inge's condition is becoming increasingly dire. In a race against time, Christian, with Michael, Lisa, Piwi, and Timo, tries to quickly uncover the cause of the mysterious illness and end the quarantine - because Inge isn't the only one in acute danger.
