Carsten and Leonie want to end the mudslinging in their own way. She hopes that he will finally realize that he acted against her will. He tries to find a way for her to accept his point of view - without admitting to rape. Meanwhile, Clara has no scruples about getting her father acquitted. She is relying entirely on the ruthlessness of the lawyer Hauser. She blackmails her half-brother Jonas, telling him to lie in his father's interest if necessary. While Leonie is increasingly under pressure at the trial, Carsten also begins to lose his nerve.
