Writing great villains is about striking a balance between charming and evil, so we love them but also love to see them lose.

Maike suggests that Sören should have a fling himself so that peace can finally be restored. With whomever! But Sören ends up in bed with Maike's best friend Doris, of all people. Dirk, Doris' husband, is not the only one fuming with rage and wants to give Sören a thrashing. Maike in particular reproaches Sören: the offer was never meant to be like that! And in the midst of all the chaos, Inka decides to throw the stuffy wedding, which groom Nils only wants to go ahead with for the sake of his conservative mother Renate.
