Juliette (Maike von Bremen, left) fights for Kerstin’s (Maike Billitis) love

Monday, March 15, 2010 (3776)

Kerstin is shocked when she realizes that Raul has slept with another woman.

When Nadine – the woman with the towel – realizes who Kerstin is, she offers to leave, but it is Kerstin who leaves instead, angrily slamming the door shut behind her. Raul wakes up from the noise, and when Nadine tells him what happened, he is far from pleased.

Kerstin is sitting in a doorway and crying when Juliette finds her. Kerstin tells Juliette that Raul cheated on her with another woman, but when Juliette disapproves of Raul’s behaviour, Kerstin defends Raul and even yells at Juliette to stop talking.

Kerstin blames herself for what Raul did because he is so deeply hurt by her betrayal. When Juliette states the obvious – that Kerstin is still in love with Raul – Kerstin snaps at her and leaves her alone in the doorway.

Kerstin and Juliette continue their argument outside of “Back Dat”. Kerstin keeps defending Raul, until Juliette eventually gives in. She apologizes to Kerstin for appearing smart-alecky, and tells Kerstin that this whole situation isn’t easy for her, either. When Kerstin has calmed down, Juliette suggests that maybe Kerstin needs to take time out from work and Raul and that they should go away for a while – just the two of them, but only as friends.

Later, Kerstin is in her room at the pension and dreams of being with Raul. They kiss and make out, but when they lie down on the bed, Juliette is there, and Kerstin starts to make out with her as well..

Kerstin starts from her sleep when her cell phone rings. It’s Raul who is trying to reach her, but she does not take the call. When there’s a knock on the door, Kerstin gets up to open it and finds Juliette standing there. She explains that she just wanted to check on Kerstin.

Juliette asks Kerstin whether Kerstin has thought about her suggestion to go away for the weekend, and Kerstin tells her that she wants to go, but alone. Juliette is disappointed, but doesn’t say anything.

Kerstin is waiting at the bus stop when Raul comes over to talk to her. He thinks that Kerstin is leaving with Juliette, but Kerstin explains to him that she is going away to have time to think and to make a decision, but that she needs to be alone in order to do that. He lets this information sink in, then briefly strokes her arm and leaves again.

Raul is trying to drown his lovesickness in alcohol. One morning, while still dealing with the hangover from the night before, he meets Juliette in the kitchen. She makes a comment about his condition, and he reacts dismissively and hostile. When she asks him to go apart so she can continue working on her chocolates, he slowly pushes a tray with chocolates from the counter before he leaves.

As the kitchen belongs both to the bakery and the apartment, Juliette has no choice but to continue working there while Raul is sitting in the living room, wallowing in self-pity and watching her hostilely, until he finally gets his coat and leaves.

In the evening, Raul can be seen doing carpentry at the apartment. Also, some more of Juliette’s chocolates end up in the trash.

When Heidi and Juliette open the bakery in the morning, they find the passageway to the kitchen blocked by a wooden wall. Juliette is furious. With the key that Kerstin gave her, she enters the apartment through the back door to confront Raul and remove the wall. Raul forcibly stops her and tries to take the key from her, thereby only making her more furious.

She yells at him that his behaviour won’t change Kerstin’s feelings for her, and that Kerstin slept with her because they are in love. In return, Raul threatens that he is going to let her have it if she takes Kerstin away from him.

Kerstin goes away to have time to think. While she is out of town, Raul conducts a campaign against Juliette which almost ends tragically. When Kerstin returns, she has made a decision...
