#2 - Rehabilitation Pt. 2
Jerks - Season 5 - Episode 10
Shortly before the premiere of the local theater group's play, Fahri inadvertently overhears a telephone conversation between Christian and his psychotherapist, in which Christian recounts the events of 1991. As a result, Fahri quits Christian's friendship. However, Christian persuades him to have one last conversation, which is then attended in turn - obviously arranged by Christian - by various companions of Fahri's, such as Linda Zervakis, Frederick Lau and Jan Hofer, who thank him for his support over the years. Fahri is therefore reconsidering breaking off his friendship with Christian. It remains open, however, who is the last person to convey his or her thanks to Fahri, but this person closes the circle for Fahri, judging by his reaction; he seems as if he has finally arrived.
