Elisabeth, Carla and Stella are leaving the dining room together. Stella turns to Carla and reminds her that the next day will be their 1-month-anniversary. They smile at each other and hug. Tanja, who is in the hall and getting ready to leave for a business trip, cannot help but comment, saying that the old count was lucky to have died in a plane crash so he does not have to witness what is going on in his castle. Elisabeth replies that the count would not have been happy that Ansgar married Tanja, either.

Ansgar joins them. Tanja demands of him that he get rid of Elisabeth, which he says he would love to do, especially since her salary at the Holding is way too high. Then Tanja and Ansgar leave. Stella turns to Carla and tells her that she should not be upset about Ansgar, because there would be no use to it. When Elisabeth suggests that it is time that someone put Ansgar in his place, Carla agrees.

The next morning, Stella visits Carla in her office in the Holding. Carla, who is engrossed in some documents, is surprised and asks whether they had a date. Stella replies that they could have one that afternoon at Schneider’s to celebrate their anniversary if Carla was available. Carla says that she will try to find the time, but she is clearly distracted by the papers she is reading. When Elisabeth enters Carla’s office, Stella decides to leave. At the door, she tells Carla that she is looking forward to their date, but Carla is not listening anymore.

After Stella has left, Elisabeth asks whether Carla and Stella have something nice planned. Carla tells her that they plan to go to Schneider’s, then suddenly notices that she has not asked Stella when they are going to meet. She decides to call Stella later. Then she and Elisabeth focus on the documents Carla was so engrossed in, and discuss whether they can use them to fight Ansgar.

Later that day, Carla and Elisabeth try to convince Sebastian to support them in their fight against Ansgar by claiming his share of the Lahnstein legacy, but he tells them that it would have no use and besides, he has other things to worry about. Then Carla has another run-in with Ansgar when he tells her that she is no longer allowed to direct payments from the Holding accounts.

At Schneider’s, Stella decorates the table with flowers. When Charlie comments on that, Stella jokingly reminds Charlie that this could have been for her if Charlie had not decided to dump her. Charlie replies that she had always known that Carla and Stella belonged together. Then she offers to have something special prepared for them.

While Stella beams with anticipation, Carla is in the process of devastating her office, taking her anger out on her files and her desk chair and having obviously forgotten her date with Stella. Elisabeth tries to reason with her. When Carla has finally calmed down, she tells Elisabeth that the reason that people like them always seem to lose against people like Tanja and Ansgar is that they are fair and honest. Then she announces to a shocked Elisabeth that from now on, she will play Ansgar at his own game.

Carla becomes obsessed with fighting Ansgar and puts her relationship with Stella at risk.
