Ehrensache, dass er die Reparatur selbst in die Hand nimmt. Biggi dagegen kann sich im Laufe ihrer weiteren Bekanntschaft mit Dr. Flanke nicht des Eindrucks erwehren, es mit einem besonders ungeschickten Exemplar der ohnehin minderwertigen Gattung Mann zu tun zu haben. Wo auch immer Dr. Flanke beflügelt von den besten Absichten hinkommt, endet er auf die eine oder andere Weise im Chaos.

Dr. Flanke soll also Thomas fernhalten von dem Mädchen, eine Forderung, die Thomas' Trainer Sepp, der zufällig auch Susannes Erzeuger ist, nachdrücklich unterstützt. Wenn es dafür mal nicht schon zu spät ist.
