The Peppercorns

The 125th anniversary of the Krogmann Tea Kontor is coming up, and the family peace is being severely disturbed by blackmail. An unknown culprit has spiked a tea blend with a cockroach bomb and is threatening to detonate another one in the Kontor if his money demand is not met. Since the Krogmann parents do not want to jeopardize the celebration, at which an important contract is to be concluded, they give in to the blackmail. The Pfefferkörner, however, are fighting: they want to find the culprit before he can do any damage. Gregor, a former intern, is quickly at the center of suspicions. When Yeliz and Karol try to confront him at the money drop, he knocks them out. Gregor then tricks the other members of the Pfefferkörner into thinking he's not involved, and attends the party as a guest with his parents.
