At a small drink on the occasion of Bärbel's birthday in the "Gasthof Aubach", Sophie allows herself one or two too many glasses, gets caught in an alcohol test and has to hand in her driver's license. In addition, proceedings are being initiated against her because there is a suspicion that she has committed a breach of service supervision. Sophie is suspended for the time being and Dietmar has to head the police station on an interim basis. But when one of the owners of the local brothel "Waldhaus Amore" is found shot dead in front of his establishment, Sophie gives up on her suspension and takes up the investigation - much to the displeasure of Heike and especially Zielonka sen. For the first time, Bärbel can claim success with her new psychological approach.
