As she gets older, Leonie wants to know about her father and is told by Kerstin that Jan walked out on her after he found out that she was pregnant. Heartbroken about that, Leonie starts to hate her father without even knowing him. She decides to find Jan to confront him and starts a search in the web.
Out of a pure case, Timo Mendes and his best friend Emilio Sanchez see the photo Leonie uses for her search and recognize that the man Leonie's looking for is the priest of their community in Palma de Mallorca.

Leonie slowly starts opening up to Timo and tells him that Jan is her father, who walked out on her mother after he found out about the pregnancy. Timo can't believe that Jan would walk away from its own child and wants Leonie to talk to him. He lets her stay at his place for the night, only to see that she has already left the next morning; only leaving a thank-you note. Leonie starts to sight Jan, when he's consulting a pregnant teenager. This is opening all old wounds by Leonie and she screams at Jan for being a hypocrite.
