Year 22 - Mexico City, Mexico / Oslo, Norway (Zack) Following an accident while a friend's parent was driving, Iris is hospitalised and eventually loses her left arm; she is initially devastated to think that she'll never be able to play football, which she loves, again, but her local-level team help her get back into the game. She also enjoys spending time with Roman and Lina's newly-adopted former-stray puppy, Miguelito. Zack finishes his degree and struggles to figure out where to go from there; when Marius' widowed mother has a stroke, he volunteers to move to Norway to take care of her, making money by teaching English online.Marius & Elsie with Roman, Zack, Seb, Nina, Iris, Belle, Finn, and Frankie
