Heartwarming / Charite

• Once Ehrlich has realized that he has tuberculosis and has to travel south to recover in a warm climate, his wife is determined to accompany him, even if the disease means he'll barely dare to touch her for months.
• Ida's and Georg Tischendorf's first talk; she comforts him after his blunder at the tracheotomy, and he confides in her about his dream to study arts and shows her his sketches.
• Behring takes on mentoring Ida, allowing her to eavesdrop in the auditorium and giving her an anatomy book and more detailed explanations when she asks for them, showing that he has indeed a heart and confidence in her abilities. He's also the first to tell her that she has what it takes to become a good doctor, and in all earnesty encourages her to study when everyone else thinks that idea is ridiculous.
• After the loss of their baby, Doctor Ehrlich sits at his wife's hospital bed to hold her hand and try to console her, and later he takes care of his daughters at home so she can recover. Despite the tragedy, he's incredibly grateful to Behring who kept him from losing his wife as well.
• Ida accepts Georg's proposal and encourages his plans for the future.
• Behring when he's happy is a completely different person — confident, friendly, laughing at jokes and bursting with motivation. He shows Ida the first rabbit he could heal from diphtheria with his serum, which he names for her because it's a fighter.
  • He's equally enthusiastic when he's discovered the reason of his big spectacular failure and tells Ida of it; now that he knows what went wrong, he can start a new attempt. Ida is happy with him, sharing his passion for medicine, and in the heat of the moment, Behring just plants a big one on her.
• A very motherly, warm moment for Matron Martha as she admits that Ida was right about the serum, lauds how medically versed she is and points out that she can't subordinate enough for a nurse or a deaconess. She asks about her future, and Ida admits she had false hope for a marriage. Martha cheers her up; humbleness and docility are not hers anyway. She supports Ida's plans, encouraging her to go to Zurich funded by Therese's heritage, and even says that Therese loved her very much.
• Stine coming around in regards to Rajani. While at first she was afraid of her because she thought Rajani was a cannibal, she soon enough warms up when she realizes Rajani is just a lonely young woman far away from home and family, talks to her, takes care of her, and sits by her bedside telling her a fairytale while Rajani dies. Doubles as a massive Tear Jerker, also for Stine herself who's devastated after that.
• After the fall from grace Koch has taken, Hedwig is there for him, doesn't even think of leaving him, and encourages him to fight for his work and talk to Virchow to try and save what can be saved — his research institute.
• Ida finds Emil Behring after his overdose, and when she's gotten him halfway back together, he has a very vulnerable and honest moment in which he admits that he suffers a great deal from his psychological issues, from all people despising him, that he should have married her when she needed him, and that he was in a psychiatric clinic with an "episode" after her parents' death — that's why he couldn't be there for her. Ida tells him that Leipzig will test his serum on a large scale and that he's needed, but also that she won't marry Tischendorf and instead go to Zurich for studies. Behring smiles like a sun on that, assuring Ida that, strong and courageous as she is, she can do anything.
• Behring shares his success with Ida, promising that he'll use his newly acquired wealth to fund her studies. They make plans for the future — and Behring wants to wait out the years without her.
