Diana has to grit her teeth: she wants to pass the upcoming squad test at all costs - despite her aching feet and the excitement caused by the fake newspaper article. In it, she is not only portrayed as a mediocre ice skater, but she is also said to have an affair with Richard Steinkamp. Diana slowly regains ground under her feet, but on the very day of the decision, another terrible incident occurs: her skates have been stolen; Richard gets into trouble at work, not only because of the alleged affair with Diana, but also because he leaned too far out of the window in a competency dispute with his wife Simone. Simone takes the dispute as an opportunity to take more care of the daily business of her company again; Vanessa fears that she is nothing more than a good buddy for Tim, because he only has eyes for Nina. With Ben, of all people, Vanessa wants to cry her love-sickness from her soul.
