The Peppercorns - Season 21 - Eps 6: Flammable
During a firefighting operation, Pascal suffers from dangerous smoke poisoning. Jules, who is already constantly worried about his father, wants to get to the bottom of the cause. Did someone neglect the maintenance of the breathing apparatus? Or is this possibly sabotage and a targeted attack on the fire department? Taara is skeptical and thinks Jules is just in panic mode again. Only Malin understands his fears and actively supports the investigation. A spontaneous declaration of love ensues – or is Jules on the wrong track here, too?

After school, the young detectives meet at a high level of a spice warehouse of the company Overbeck & Associates, which belongs to Fiete and Vivi's parents in the first part, but is later given to Fiete and Vivi to look after. Here, in the historic warehouse district, the five friends have their headquarters. With smarts, combined delivery and support of the Internet, they find their cases here.
