Harper and Eric present their short‑only fund to potential investors, seeking the backing needed to launch it. Meanwhile, Yasmin, Henry and Whitney travel to Vienna for a critical meeting, where the distinction between business and pleasure begins to blur in a high‑stakes setting.

Habseligkeiten is a programme presented in an episodic format. It falls under the genre of a single episode, offering a self‑contained narrative within the broader series. The show’s structure allows it to focus on a handful of characters as they navigate distinct but interlinked situations. In this particular episode, Harper and Eric find themselves in a high‑stakes setting as they deliver a pitch to potential investors. Their goal is to secure the backing needed to launch a short‑only fund, a financial vehicle that will only take short positions. The scene is centred on the persuasive effort required to convince the investors of the fund’s viability. At the same time, a separate storyline follows Yasmin, Henry and Whitney as they travel to Vienna. Their trip becomes a backdrop where the distinction between professional obligations and personal enjoyment begins to dissolve. The city’s atmosphere contributes to a situation where business discussions and leisurely moments start to overlap, creating a sense of ambiguity between work and pleasure. The episode therefore weaves together two parallel threads: the intense, numbers‑driven pitch in the financial world and the more relaxed, yet equally consequential, journey to Vienna where the characters experience a blending of their professional and personal lives. This dual focus highlights how both settings can challenge the characters’ expectations and force them to navigate blurred boundaries.
