Kerstin and Juliette kiss. When Juliette starts to cover her neck with kisses as well, Kerstin breaks away from the embrace. Juliette apologizes, but Kerstin tells her that she doesn’t know what is going on with her. Juliette replies that she understands.

Later, Juliette assures Kerstin that she would never try to make Kerstin do something that Kerstin does not want. Kerstin replies that it would be much easier if she only knew what she wanted. Juliette takes Kerstin’s hand and tells her that being close to Kerstin is more than enough for her.

Kerstin admits that she enjoys being with Juliette as well, and that the kiss felt new and exciting. Juliette looks lovestruck, but then Kerstin says that she loves Raul and still doesn’t want to lose Juliette. She asks Juliette whether they can be friends, and reluctantly, Juliette agrees.

At night, Juliette and Kerstin both lie awake, Juliette on the couch and Kerstin in her bed.

The next morning, Kerstin meets Raul on the street in front of the bakery. She tells him that she misses him. He acts dismissively and wants to move on, but Kerstin holds him back and asks him to move back in. He eventually agrees, and suggests that Juliette could move in with Carlos instead. Kerstin tells Raul again how much she missed him, and they hug and kiss. Juliette, who was watching them from inside the bakery, suddenly looks very sad.

At the bakery, Kerstin tells Juliette that Raul is moving back in and suggests to Juliette that she could stay at Carlos’ apartment. Juliette is visibly sad, but stays very composed and tells Kerstin that all she wants is for Kerstin to be happy. Kerstin assures her that she meant it when she told Juliette that she wants to stay friends, and Juliette replies that she knows that.

When Heidi learns that Juliette is moving in with Carlos, she suggests that to wrap Kerstin & Juliette’s brief living community up, they should celebrate an orgy. Both Kerstin and Juliette look like they have just been caught in the act, but it turns out that Heidi was talking about girls’ night. Heidi is so excited about her idea that Kerstin and Juliette reluctantly agree.

At Kerstin and Raul’s apartment, Heidi gets a call. After hanging up, she explains to Kerstin and Juliette that her friend Sülo has hurt his back again and that she has to babysit his son. When Heidi notices that Kerstin and Juliette both look worried, she thinks that it is because of Sülo and tries to reassure them that it might not be that bad.

While Heidi is gathering her things, Kerstin and Juliette sit in silence and eat potato chips. Heidi says that she is sorry that she has to leave so soon, because they did not even have the chance to talk about the exciting things – like sex, love and passion. That is when Juliette suddenly chokes on one of her potato chips.

After Heidi is gone, Kerstin and Juliette avoid looking at each other, and instead talk about the music. Finally, Kerstin says that she hopes that Juliette can cope with her decision to stay with Raul. Juliette replies that she of course would have preferred a different decision.

Kerstin again tells Juliette that she is glad that they will remain friends, and not very convincingly Juliette agrees. Then she adds that everything will be easier once she has moved out. Kerstin, who looks like she is not feeling well, suddenly gets up and rushes to the bathroom. Juliette lies down on the sofa and listens to the music while she is obviously close to tears.

Kerstin leaves the bathroom and apologizes for leaving Juliette alone for so long. She turns the music back on and then realizes that Juliette has fallen asleep on the couch. Slowly, Kerstin goes over to the couch and kneels down beside Juliette. She starts to caress Juliette’s hair and face, then leans forward to kiss her.

Slowly and softly, Kerstin kisses Juliette, who starts to smile in her sleep. Kerstin sits back and smiles as well. When Juliette briefly wakes up, she notices Kerstin beside her. Kerstin tells her to go back to sleep. Still half asleep, Juliette takes Kerstin’s hand and asks Kerstin not to go away. Then she falls asleep again.

Carefully, Kerstin removes her hand from Juliette’s, then gets her coat and, with a last look at the sleeping Juliette, leaves the apartment. Juliette wakes up again and realizes that Kerstin is gone.

Outside, Kerstin is sitting on a bench, deep in thought. That’s where Lisa, her sister-in-law, finds her. Lisa wants to know what is going on with Kerstin, and Kerstin finally confesses to her that she has fallen in love with someone, that she is confused because she also still loves Raul, and that she doesn’t know what to do.

Lisa tells Kerstin that chances are that it is all just a fantasy, and even though it might feel wonderful at the moment, Kerstin shouldn’t act on it because she and Raul belong together.

The next morning, Juliette is at the apartment and packs her things. When Kerstin comes in, Juliette asks her whether Kerstin actually did kiss her the night before while she was sleeping, or whether it was all just a dream. Kerstin replies that Juliette must have dreamt that. Juliette looks disappointed and sad.

Kerstin goes to help Heidi at the bakery, and Juliette finishes packing. Before she leaves, she puts on some lipstick and places a kiss on a post-it note which she sticks to a MP3 player that is lying on the kitchen table.

At the bakery, Kerstin and Juliette don’t know how to act around each other and take turns in looking at each other longingly.

When Raul returns to the apartment, he finds Juliette’s note and of course thinks that it is for him from Kerstin. He goes to thank Kerstin for the note, who of course doesn’t know what he is talking about, but manages to not show her confusion. Raul kisses her. Of course, that’s when Juliette comes in. She sees the note in Raul’s hand and realizes that Raul thought it was for him. Deeply hurt, she makes a snarky remark and leaves them alone again.

Later, Kerstin goes to see Juliette at Carlos’ apartment. She blames Juliette for leaving the note, and on Raul’s MP3 player, of all places. Juliette says that she didn’t know that it is Raul’s, and tries to calm Kerstin down because nothing actually happened. But Kerstin won’t listen to her. Angrily, she asks whether Juliette wants to destroy her relationship.

Juliette tells her that all she wants is for Kerstin to be happy. Kerstin is about to storm out again, but Juliette holds her back by asking Kerstin to admit that she has fallen in love with her.
