Thank you so much for the caps Nanna and Tihkon.
This one was quite good and well acted. Special Kudos go to Thore for his fine portrayal of Christian. It was done with the right tone. He really portrayed the helpless feelings, anger, anxiety, and worry that seem most appropriate to the situation. Some, I know, wanted an emotional breakdown for Christian. Now isn't the right time for that. It may yet come, or it might not. We'll have to see. But I think just the right note was struck by the performance. I thought the waiting, and waiting, was done very well. Good directing and editing there, I think. Other's have commented to that Charlie was really good too. I have to agree. Plus, Olivia's reaction was very heartfelt. She may be the conniving junior villainess who usually is most concerned about looking out for herself, but under it is a much better person than all that. I think it showed a bit today.
Lastly, I really hope Christian doesn't swing that bat. Or, if he does, it doesn't make contact with any part of Axel. It would not be good for anyone, especially Christian. And Olli will need him in the days ahead. (And, for that matter, Christian will need Olli.) I hope his intent is simply to be a bit intimidating and threatening. And yet, Axel is being as cold and infuriating as ever. Probably more so. I'm a pacifist, and I want to slug him for his callousness and the ugliness of his words and attitude. That's saying a lot. Axel getting the tar beaten out of him would be cathartic, but I'd feel so bad for Christian (and for Olli who would essentially lose Christian to the aftermath of such an act of violence, and at a point where he needs Christian as much as ever).

A superb episode. Very well acted, especially by Thore, who did an excellent job in portraying all the emotions one goes through when faced with such a crises. Thore played his character spot on to how you would expect Christian to react.
A number of touching scenes...At the beginning with Christian softly almost begging for Olli to just open his eyes...Charling stroking his face and saying 'Olli darling' Then at the hospital with Christian stroking Olli's face and not wanting to let go of his hand, while at the same time looking on in disbelief at the love of his life on a stretcher and unresponsive.. I loved how supportive Gregor was to his brother. And Olivia just crying her eyes out was so touching. Even Jo must get a mention for playing to perfection someone who is passed out. This was SOAP acting at its best today.
I think the entire hospital scene was captured wonderfully. The dimness of the waiting room with the sadness of the music reflexed on the faces of his family and friends. And Thore nailed perfectly through body language and facial expressions the moods one goes through when faced with such a situation.
As much as I want Christian to swing that bat and give Axel the beat down he deserves, it would be the worst thing he could do. He would land right back up in jail leaving Olli with a broken heart and having to deal with everything alone. It would destroy him if Christian were to be incarcerated.
I cannot wait for Monday's episode to see how all this played out.
Again...one of the best episodes to date regarding the Olli and Christian storyline

Very, very wonderful episode this is. Vielen Dank, Nanna, Ivan, und Tihkon2!
If they showed Christian crying, I wouldn't have been able to stop my tears from flowing. The waiting scene was just intense. Gregor is such a good brother - always supporting Christian and being there for him. I almost, almost cried.... watching this episode made me want to wait there too (but of course, it's not gonna happen cause i'm an ordinary person. LOL)
CHRISTIAN!!! Broad daylight?? Noo, man, no. People would see you! The fact that there were passersby on the street - a public area (and maybe cameras?) is evidence enough.... and Axel might sue him for something... attempted homicide? (Am I even making sense?)
I am so excited about the next episode... too bad it's a weekend. We all have to wait for sooooo long!!

Great great episode!!! I loved the scenes in the hospital when everyone was waiting for good news. I really LOVED how Gregor went to Christian and touched his neck, that was sweet!!^^ And the sadest moment for me was when Christian said "For Olli always everything was ok, ALWAYS!!" I don't know, why but this almost brought me to tears.

Thank you so much Nanna, Tihkon, Ivan for the Subtitles and adding the bit with Judith finding out at the Flat-share!!! Once again...the Song selection/Christian and Olivia crying/the care and love of Charlie, Gregor, Judith..everyone really for Olli and Christian---just well-done!!Olivia, now this is NO time to go investigating either....you get on back to the hospital too, and save all that energy for another day!! Olli's "thought-bubble" of wisdom, is currently occupied with Christian...it doesn't have the time or possibility of popping into your mind as well....but it Thanks you none the less as you are[/i] Olivia Schneider, and you probably could get Kai to talk!!!!

Actually, Olivia investigating may mean she'll be at the right place to stop Christian.

I know it's terribly impolite to do this, but allow me to quote myself from Thursday's episode thread: Christian is the king of sublimation sometimes - he's not called Mr. Never Freaks Out for nothing. If Olli is actually seriously ill I'll expect Christian to channel his grief and frustration into action, rather than break down crying. Maybe he'll go punch a punching bag and yell at people around him, including Gregor and Judith - whatever it takes to stop him from feeling helpless and sorry for himself. *does the 'told you so' dance* Ahem. Just had to get that out of my system. I liked this episode. Christian's quiet descent from worry into grief and later acting out was so believable. He's blaming himself, and he is a man of action - of course he's going to go after Axel, especially when Olli's not there to talk some sense into that hot head of his. I do hope something or someone (Gregor? Olivia? I'd love for it to be Olivia) stops him before he actually hits Axel (leave the beating up of Axel to someone who's not on parole!). *bites nails* Thank you as always to the wonderful translation team.

I actually hope, Christian's own sense of morality and virtuousness stops him. He has that in spades. {he doesn't really need[/i] a thought-bubble or Olivia to stop him from carrying out a bad decision--I'd really like him to come "to" on his own...Olli is not there and Gregor is not there, so let's see Christian work it out on his own for a change....just my opinion }

Yes, thanks again for giving so many people the pleasure to follow this lovely story as well!

Actually, Olivia investigating may mean she'll be at the right place to stop Christian. I'd love that. She wasn't at the hospital for the good news,too, so she could be around. And then Charlie could give her a call that Olli is alright, What would I give to see a Christian/Olivia hug. But I think that's just wishful thinking

I think Christian is going to stop himself... He's very angry and impulsive, I know, but at the end, he is not a violent person... I liked very much this episode, with a high level of emotion... fear, anger, pain, tenderness, feeling guilty, love, friendship... all of this accentuated by right music (expecially the one in the waiting room scene) and great acting... But my thought goes to Monday's episode: I really hope to see Christian near Olli, wisperig tender, loving, supporting words to his beloved.... unconscius or not.... I think Olli deserve a tender / romantic / supporting moment with Christian.... and I really NEED to see it ! Hopefully, Monday will be my day ! Buon fine settimana a tutti ! (Have a good week end, everybody) -> I don't know if this is the right translation

I agree. But it's not is Chris's nature to be all mushy with Ollie, but I'm sure he'll be there for Ollie. :'( ;D

I also really liked Christian talking about how everything is always okay with Olli. Good to see that Christian is aware of it.

Indeed, it was almost a statement of grief for him, because he feels like Olli is suffering all the consequences of Christian's own dreams. Christian has, in the past said how Olli is the one who gave him the strength to chase his dreams. Now he feels guilty because Olli is suffering for it. Thanks to all our heroes for the clip and translation!

Hey guys, I've recovered from the very painful Thursday's episode, that I didn't want to comment, but I'm here to say something about yesterday's, that I really loved. First of all, thanks a lot Ivan, Tihkon and Nanna. What about ALL the actors' performances? Awesome. Starting from Thore/Christian, just great. At some point I wanted to get into the clip and hug him. He showed his grief in the best way, he was so worried that he could lose his boyfriend that he was about to burst into tears, but he didn't because he knew he had to be strong for Olli. And I loved how Gregor made "the elder brother" and supported him. What about Charlie? She was terrific, always trying to keep calm, and finally that beautiful smile when the worst was over. I also liked Olivia, in deep sorrow for her cousin. Definitely a beautiful episode, even if portraying a very dramatic moment. Olli, my dear, hang on, everything is gonna be alright, I'm sure! Don't get me wrong, but when at the end Christian confronted Axel and showed the baseball bat, I got a grin on my face. I found it almost hilarious, because I really didn't expect it. ;D And as usual, Christian angry=Christian hot. I hope he won't hit Axel too (even though he'd deserve it!), because he only would get into trouble, and this is not the right moment (if it ever is). Olli needs him nearby, to take care of him and show him all his love.
