Thanks, Ivan! Justus' last name (Stiehl) sounded like Stil (style in English) to me. It's probably because I don't speak German. Justus = Mr. Style! ;D

Thanks Ivan!
Christian and Olli seemed to get along well today -- Yeah!!
It seemed clear to me that Olli did not want to laugh at his lover at first but had no choice after Rebecca did (rather unthoughtfully). Jo's face says a lot.
However, I wasn't sure what all the picture taking was about.
I can't wait to see the English translation for this episode.
It was so good to see Christian and Olli getting along -- to see them in the flatshare, both in good humor.
Christian surprised me, actually: I expected him to act like a jerk and take the "tree thing" out on Olli; however, after a few grimaces, he seemed to find his sense of humor, and seemed quite light in the apartment.
Rebecca was just annoying. (Sorry Rebecca! Nothing against Jasmine, but the character of Rebecca didn't seem to have a clue as to how Christian might be feeling.)

I think he took the picture because this is something Christian will find very funny... in a few years I'm glad he reacted with humour (and stopped on the street when he knew it was enough but I think this is the normal behaviour Christian asked for the whole time after his sickness)What I liked the most was the moment when Stella told them about the job and Christian and Olli looked at each other immediately. I always like when they do that. This time it seemed like the moment where they agreed it was okay that Olli asked Stella and Christian will try it anyway.

Christian was sweet as a tree and how he tried to run .... just adorable. But there it was again.... a little bit too controlling Olli. He has all the best intentions and the job was silly but when Olli said to Christian that he really don't need to do this ridiculous thing and they! should go and quit, Christian's reaction was so natural and human. Even if he realized that Olli is right he had to say otherwise... just to be in control of himself not to let others take over again. And that they make fun of it back home with all the teasing, it's good. Seems that even Christian don't take that job so serious but at least it gives him something to do and still look for another job. Accepting Stella's job offer is a kind of accepting Olli's help as well (and of course being a tree isn't really satisfying either).

Honestly this was one of the few cases where it didn't bother me. Probably because Olli stayed quiet through C's suffering quite a bit and then sort of blurted it out.
On the other hand, I think it was good that Christian stuck to his guns and finished the job. I think it suits him very well.
Generally I think this worked much better to me because for me the scene was long enough and Olli's feelings were clear enough to buy into the emotionality of the scene.

It did bother me a little because I know I usually act the the same way Christian did. First reaction is saying and doing the opposite even if it's not right or good for me (OK today wasn't really a big issue they were talking about but just the situation itself) and I'm not saying that Christian made a wrong choice finishing what he started, that was a good thing and strong decision

It does not make you a control freak if you care about someone. Olli did not propose Christian to ditch the job to have it his way. He thought it was humiliating for Christian and told him he did not have to do it, Christian disagreed, Olli accepted it and they had a laugh about it later.

They seemed so caring of each other. I really loved the apartment scene. Ickymyheels had noted the love between them on Friday, too. That scene where Christian and Olli kiss at the counter is so beautiful: Thore does a fine job there. Sometimes I am so busy looking for the thorns, I forget to see the roses.

I never meant to say that Olli is a control freak and I can see that he does care for Christian and that he loves him. Olli wants Christian to get on whit is life and if necessary then without sport but still be able to enjoy what he's doing. He looks up all the possibilities etc. But sometimes it comes out controlling or pushing too hard, not letting Christian enough room to think about. That is just character differences, different ways how they functioning. As I mentioned before today wasn't really a big issue, but Christian's reaction reminded me my own. If someone pushing too hard, it may happen that the outcome is opposite what they hoped for (it just a abstraction not based really on today's episode, sorry for that)

Thanks Tihkon and Nanna!!!! Christian handled Justus so well! Another wonderful surprise today! I am just thrilled about this episode: an unexpected gem, particularly given my fears last week. No fireworks, just people Christian and Olli at their best with each other and with others in their lives.

It was nice to see Christian getting some assertiveness back into his actions. The tree scenes were funny. I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that Christian seems to be answering to the Butler? I would've thought that there would be an Estate Manager who dealt with outside staff I don't read spoilers so this next conclusion is only based on what has been shown so far, but it now looks like the whole "heart problem story" is really just a scripting ploy to get Christian working at the Castle and therefore allow him to have more interaction with other cast members & storylines.

Am I the only one who didn't enjoy the episode? The tree part was funny, but everything after that was pretty boring to me. And I'd still like to know why Rebecca is a constant presence in Chrolli's story all of a sudden.

I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that Christian seems to be answering to the Butler? I would've thought that there would be an Estate Manager who dealt with outside staff They probably do not have that many people to have a special person taking care only of that. It would seem logical that Justus does this job, too. There was another relocation, Olivia now works in Schneiders again. They seem to cancel her modeling job as it was probably too expensive to shoot and without that they could not show her working regularly. Similar with Christian, there's already Olli and Gregor in NL, so Christian had to go. He could go to Schneiders, but Olivia is there now, so the next place with existing sets was the castle. The illness also explains a lack of boxing/sport scenes. So yes, the illness can be a reasonable explanation for moving Christian to the castle, plus there is a drama that it generated.
