Listening to Henriette was as awful as watching Andi eating snails (yeah even from a French guy ) I was even scared during the last scene that Helena made him eat frog's legs the scene between Christian and Henni was really cute I always love to hear Christian explaining how and why he felt in love with Olli , yeah even to Henni. And poor Olli, that was painful to watch Sylvain

Apartment Christian and Olli return from their lovely evening out with mom dearest. Olli's angry: "I should have known. It's more likely for me to become a racehorse jockey than for my mother to accept my lifestyle." "You and Biene are practically like this", Christian says and crosses his fingers. Olli plunks down onto the couch. "Oh, great", he replies, "I'm closer to a pony than to my mother….if that isn't sad!". Christian says that, a few weeks ago, horses have been an absolute no-go for Olli as well. Sometimes people have to be forced to do what's good for them. "At least I let myself be forced", says Olli. Christian suggests to simply give his mother some time. "Right", Olli says sarcastically, gets up, walks to the fridge and starts drinking water out of a bottle, "ten years are a bit short." He doesn't understand why she came at all. "Because she misses you?", Christian says. "Then she'll have to miss me for the rest of her life". Christian: "At least you tried everything." Olli thinks it's best to put her back on the black list immediately.
Christian says he'll put Olli on the black list if he doesn't get any food soon. Right, dinner hasn't been enough, Olli replies, tongue in cheek. Christian suggests to prepare a pizza with everything they got left. He finds champagne and pickled cucumbers in the fridge. Olli says, if now his name was Christina and he was pregnant, then the Sabel family happiness would be complete, at least for his mother. Olli says he'll take care of dessert later, kisses Christian and goes into the bathroom.
Christian calls the hotel Henriette is staying at and asks to be put through to her.
No Limits Christian sits at the bar, Henriette walks through the door. Christian greets her with a handshake.
Christian: Mrs. Sabel. Glad you could make it this late. Henriette: If you want to make accusations, my sister already took care of that. Christian: Charlie called you? Henriette: Yes. I really made every effort to face you and my son with a positive feeling. But then, when you kissed at the restaurant, in PUBLIC, that wasn't easy for me. You probably won't understand.
Yes, Christian says, he will. He tells her that before he got together with Olli he had only been with women, that he was in a relationship. He tried to talk himself out of his feelings for Olli because he was afraid of how his friends and his brother would react. He was pretty confused. But at some point he wondered what he was doing, why did he try to talk himself out of being in love with Olli? "Mrs, Sabel", he says, "Olli isn't a serial killer. He's the most tolerant, loveable and funniest person I know. Why not stand by him?" "It's not that easy", Henriette replies. "Yes, it is. You made him what he is today. A successful, confident young man. Accept him the way he is! He deserves it."
- - - "Believe me", Christian says, "society has become a lot more liberal." And even if Henriette has to give up her dream of a daughter-in-law, she'll get a top son-in-law. Henriette smiles, but says she's tired and leaves, wishing Christian a nice evening.
Olli comes around the corner, puts his arm around Christian and kisses his neck. "Where have you been? I was waiting in the bathtub until I was all pruney. No desire for dessert after all?" Christian tells him that he just met with his mother. Olli thinks it's sweet that he's doing this but it's a waste of energy. Christian doesn't think so, he has a feeling that Henriette is interested in starting over. "Forget about it", Olli says. Christian: "She's your mother". Olli: "I lost my mother ten years ago!"
- - - Olli's already at No Limits in the morning. Christian comes inside and tells him to go back upstairs and lie down a bit, he'll take care of everything. Olli can't sleep anymore anyway. "Too much pizza?" "Too much of my mother", Olli says. Somebody knocks at the door. "We're still closed", Olli shouts. Christian takes the key and opens the door. It's Henni. After saying good morning, Christian goes upstairs to leave mother and son alone. Olli wants to know if she forgot something yesterday, or what is she doing here? She wants to talk to him. If she wants to preach/convert him again… "No", she says, crying, she does understand that he's homosexual. "At least", Olli replies "if now you're able to accept it…" "It's not that easy", she says.
Apartment Andi invites Christian for breakfast and is surprised when he declines. Normally Christian wouldn't miss out on a well-laid table. Christian tells him that the reconciliation between Olli and his mother isn't going very well downstairs. Andi says they shouldn't let her ruin their mood.
No Limits - Song "When the pain dies down"- Chris Stills. *sniffs* Olli and his mother are sitting in the corner booth in No Limits. Henriette says she's really sorry. "For what?", Olli wants to know, "that you don't love me enough to stand by me?" "Of course I love you", she says, "You're my son!" Doesn't he understand her at all? She can't accept his lifestyle. She's in the church choir, she's involved in the sport club, it's all very important to her. It's her life. A homosexual son - something like this doesn't exist in Meppen. It's not like Olli wants to walk hand in hand across the town square with Christian, he says. People there know her, they are her friends, she lives with them every day. She couldn't stand it if they'd gossip about her. "My own mother is embarrassed for me?", he asks. Henriette: "I'm sorry!". She puts money on the table, says "Farewell!" and leaves. Olli cries.

Wow, are Helena and Andi ever boring to watch. Yikes! I get where Christian is coming from. He tried. But bigotry is not overcome in a day.

Danke MM! I absolutely adore it when Christian gets eloquent about his love for Olli, he is so good at making these declarations, and they always sound heartfelt and just chock full of love. Kudos to Chrissie. But, sigh, there is so much scar tissue between Olli and his mother, and when a Schneider holds a grudge... watch out. I'm glad that they make Henriette somewhat sympathetic here, it's really obvious that she abhors this rift between her and Oliver, but she is so very constrained by her background and upbringing. I'm a masochist but I LOVE it when Olli is in tears...

Is Christian on a roll with the romantic declarations or what? Keep it up Christian, its good stuff! And poor Olli, I can totally understand his reaction after giving his mother another chance, though I do love me some good Olli angst and Jo does it so well! Its taken Henny so many years to come and make an effort with her own son and she still isn't capable of accepting him. The actress playing her does a good job showing the effort she's making and the strain she feels, fighting her own background and narrow beliefs. Thanks as always joanna and mercurymay!!

Since I'm agreeing with pretty much everything everyone has said so far, I'm being totally shallow: How awesome has the wardrobe department been lately?? Especially regarding Christian, this jeans today? Wow, mama!! And the camera definitely loves his ass-ets. ;D And I really liked Olli's outfit yesterday/today. Olli crying though - Jo's performance was terrific!

VL gives us too much 'waiting in the bathtub' and too little 'actually getting in the bathtub' for my liking! Thanks a lot to Joanna & MM

Usual thanks to Mercurymay, Joanna, Nanna and Tikhon.
Good casting of Olli's mum. The actress is very effective, looks wise and delivery of her lines. She worked very well with both Thore and Jo.

erm...just to be completely and utterly shallow... i think the wardrobe department should win a Rose D'or for Christian's jeans in this episode. His ass was SERIOUSLY bubble-icious...

Yes, love the jeans that just really accentuate the full moon I love me a full moon. There's definitely some junk in that trunk /shallow talk/ Okies...thank you Joanna, Nanna, and MercuryMay for all the time and effort in getting this part up. I still can't believe with all the attempts of reconciliation, Ms. Sabel still can't get into her head that it takes 2 to tango in order for the reconciliation to work. She needs to let go of her prejudices and her fears. I mean, she keeps coming to make reconciliation only to leave in disgust. It's like....make up your mind, woman!! I mean, sheesh! Get a clue and post it on your forehead. Now onto Chrolli stuff, how cute was that nose touching by Christian? I was so enthralled. I love that little touching that makes a statement, small it may be, but it really says how much Christian is really there for Olli.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this ;D His sweet declarations of love in front of his future mother in law didn't hurt either As for Olli, he still has the "one perfect tear trickling down my cheek" thing figured out TO THE MAX.
