After a family outing, the Križaj family gets stuck on a narrow road during an encounter with the mayor’s family. Gregor, the husband of doctor Maja, and Irena, the wife of mayor Franc, both refuse to back down, prompting Maja to leave the vehicle. In the verbal showdown between Irena and Maja, the power dynamics between the two families become clear. After a month of working in her new environment, doctor Maja’s unconventional approach to treatment is not well received by the villagers. Nurse Cvetka struggles with Maja’s demand to remove the display case of dietary supplements from the reception area. Maja’s older children also find it hard to adjust to the move to Velika vas, and it seems the troubles are far from over.

2. Escape to Ljubljana

Zala’s escape to Ljubljana intensifies already strained family relationships. After a fight with her boyfriend in the city, Zala seeks refuge with her grandmother Olga, who constantly meddles in the family affairs of her daughter, doctor Maja. Maja finds some solace in her work, gradually discovering ways to connect with her patients—including the local priest Nace—while confiding her growing troubles to her friend Ana. The Križaj family aren’t the only ones facing challenges: Irena and nurse Cvetka also find themselves at a crossroads.

3. Fake Sick Leave

Aired: 10/12/2025

It’s clear that things at the clinic operated quite differently before Maja’s arrival—among other issues, the previous doctor had no qualms about issuing fake medical leave. Staying true to her principles, Maja exposes roofer Mile and refuses to grant him sick leave, which leads to mounting pressure against her. The new situation pushes nurse Cvetka into distress, especially as Maja firmly insists she finally remove the supplement display case. With help from his mother-in-law Olga, Gregor begins doing business with the villagers, but his well-intentioned purchase of a cabinet sparks conflict with Maja. Olga’s attempts to help her daughter resolve family tensions lead Maja to ask for her assistance—but not in the way Olga had hoped.

Irena is furious when she discovers that Cvetka has emptied the clinic’s display case and left the dietary supplements at her doorstep.

Maja uncovers who’s behind the supplement business when Irena arrives at the clinic to retrieve the display case and relocate it to the local inn. Meanwhile, Gregor tries to build connections with the villagers, but the cabinet he bought ends up in the children’s room and sparks yet another argument.

Meanwhile, Zala seizes the opportunity to convince Gregor she needs to go to Ljubljana, sparking yet another argument in the Križaj household. Despite her exhaustion, Maja joins Ana for a night of country dancing, finally unwinding after several stressful weeks. Resourceful Rok takes advantage of Gregor’s visit to the inn, where he meets Irena’s cousin—proving that blood truly runs deep.

On a free morning, Maja bikes with Rok and Jaka to the farm of Luka Bitenc, invited by her colleague Žiga who lives there.

The clinic is full of patients with stomach issues, and it turns out they all have one thing in common — a visit to the Pr'Vovk inn.
