GAS TONI 2, 30.1.2025

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR...

Episode 1: The budget hole
The order for Slovenian instantaneous water heaters has to be paid for - but there's no money in the till, and Martin wants an advance on his salary because he bought a new electric guitar with his Christmas black money. Sabine's former business partner, Susanne Vierer, turns up and wants compensation for the low-quality, cheap clothes that Sabine ordered at the time. The money from Astrid's private foundation that she had hoped would rescue her from her financial difficulties is also gone - her son and daughter-in-law have stolen it to finance their offspring's expensive kindergarten.
Feverish attempts to raise money begin - Esther has the idea of selling the Indonesian wooden tiger from Sabine's office on the Internet. Many offers come in from China and increase the value immeasurably - Martin then orders more tiger figures from the 3D printer.
All debts to Susanne Vierer can be settled and the thermal baths are also paid for. Due to the great success of the tiger sculpture, the company management briefly considers renaming the company TIGER TONI - but in the end, the Chinese warehouse worker Mike brings back the original sculpture and the company continues to exist as GAS TONI.

Episode 2: Nostalgia
The smell of Martin's leather jacket triggers a longing for the past in the office: Astrid and Sabine miss the cigarette smoke that always surrounded their father, Martin designs a retro gasoline in a dirndl and privately plans to form an Ostbahnkurti revival band. The brochures are also designed as they were back then - only the prices are the same as today.
Susi Bauer, the mother of Martin's son Robert, turns up and tells Martin that he is going to be a grandfather - but since Robert has become FPÖ mayor, he no longer wants to know anything about his son. Argentinian warehouse worker Mike makes advances to Esther and invites her to a tango course. Sabine regrets that her father is no longer at the company - the strong man is missing and there are too many opinions - everything used to be much easier.
Esther is very offended when she finds out that Mike is now going to the tango course with Susi - over a schnapps in the evening, Martin tells her about his successful Ostbahnkurti revival concert.
