Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Rita still cleans Almuth's house and the two ladies occasionally have tea together - they have actually become pretty good friends. When Rita's husband Werner suddenly passes away, Almuth has to help her. This is not easy for her and she is also struggling with her own problems. Klaus expects Almuth to finally make a decision about their relationship and then her daughter Kathrin moves in with her after separating from her husband. When Rita then interferes in Almuth's life, the women really start to quarrel. The cleaning lady has little understanding for Frau Doktor's throwaway mentality. In the end, Rita terminates Almuth's extraordinary friendship. Can the two opposing women find their way back to each other?
