“Just give me something to hold on
A piece of the world that won’t go wrong
Is there somebody there I can talk to…”
~ The Fixx.
August & September 1934.
Kurt hasn’t left the apartment in weeks. Elisabeth and Moshe finally convince him to pay his respects to Oskar’s family. On the way, Elisabeth informs him that she’s joining a nursing program at Berlin Charité Hospital, giving them a chance to spend more time together.
Ernst pulls Kurt aside and shares how he warned his son to take Anna far from Germany, then begs Kurt to do the same. As Kurt protests, Frieda interrupts her husband and thanks them for coming. Later, Moshe contemplates closing down the shop since most of his customers have moved away and laments not being able to pass the business over to Kurt.
With track season about to start, Kurt races around the track while Elisabeth watches. Away from the action, Heinrich tracks Kurt’s time and approaches him. Immediately on edge, Heinrich shares how he expects “big things” from Kurt this upcoming season with a spot on the Olympic Team open. After Heinrich leaves, Kurt asks Elisabeth to bring her medical kit to practice. The following day, he cuts his achilles tendon while a shocked Elisabeth tends his wound.
