Carla and Stella finally become aware that Maria entered the office and saw them kissing. There’s an awkward moment of silence, then Carla tries to come up with an explanation for the situation. Maria interrupts her, apologizes for not knocking before entering, and quickly leaves Stella’s office.

Maria (Simone Ritscher, left) is as surprised as Carla and Stella

After Maria is gone, Stella tries to make a joke by saying that they don’t need gossipers but would make their relationship known to everybody on the castle all by themselves. Carla is worried, because she is certain that Maria will tell Ansgar about them and that, once he knows, he will make Stella’s life a living hell. Stella tries to calm her down, saying that she couldn’t be fired for kissing her boss, but Carla insists that Ansgar would harass Stella just to get back at Carla. Stella replies that she was strong enough to take on Ansgar, as long as Carla supported her.

Later, Carla looks for Maria and finds her in the library where she is in a conversation with Ansgar and Tanja. Carla asks Maria whether they could talk in private, but Maria tells her that it was not a good moment. Carla insists that they talk later and leaves the library with a very worried look on her face.

At night, Carla is sitting alone in front of a fireplace and stares into the flames. Maria joins her, apologizing for not finding time to talk to her earlier, and says that she could imagine what Carla wanted to talk to her about. Carla bitterly assumes that Maria had already told Ansgar and Tanja about Stella and her, but she is in for a surprise, as Maria tells her that Carla’s private life was none of her, Maria’s, and also none of Ansgar’s business. Maria assures Carla that she was glad that Carla had a partner who she was happy with, and that there was no reason for her to get involved.

The next morning, Stella is in her apartment which she shares with her other cousin Gregor. While Stella is in a hyper mood, Gregor is bleary-eyed and sad, as he is suffering from his breakup with Lousie. Stella tries to cheer him up, but to no avail.

Later, Carla and Stella are in the entrance hall of Königsbrunn, talking business for a change. When Stella sees Maria come downstairs, she intends to leave, but Maria stops her. She tells Stella that she was happy for her and Carla, and that they made a very nice couple. Maria says that she would like to get to know Carla and Stella better, and she suggests that they should go out for lunch together. Carla and Stella agree.

After Maria has left them, Stella turns to Carla, asking her whether it was possible that Carla’s opinion about her “mother” was wrong. Carla replies that maybe it was, but she is still looking skeptical.

Carla and Stella try to keep their relationship a secret, but get caught kissing by Maria. Much to Carla's surprise, Maria keeps their secret from Ansgar and even tries to get to know Stella better.
