Marienhof Recap: The Agony of Choice

Friday, March 19, 2010 (3780)

Raul and Juliette are still struggling for the key when Heidi enters the apartment and demands an explanation. Raul threatens Juliette not to say anything, but Juliette defies him and tells Heidi that she and Kerstin are in love and even slept with each other.

When Raul goes for Juliette again, Heidi tries to stop him and asks him to remove the dividing wall. He insists that the wall will stay and pushes them both out of his apartment.

Later, Carlos comes to the bakery to see his girlfriend Heidi. She tells him what happened between Raul and Juliette. Raul comes over to them, and demands of Carlos to kick Juliette out of his apartment. Carlos hesitates, but Raul insists until Carlos eventually agrees.

When he later sees Juliette at the bus stop with her bags, Raul triumphs and goes over to her to sarcastically wish her “Bon Voyage”. But Raul cheered too soon, because when he removes the wooden wall, Juliette is at the bakery and taking care of a customer.

Raul is frustrated about his failed attempt to get rid of Juliette. When Juliette later passes by his café Daily’s and two customers make a lewd remark about her, Raul tells them to forget about her because she’s a lesbian, and that he has a score to settle with her.

In the evening, Juliette is locking the Back Dat when the two men come up to her. They tell her that they know that she hasn’t done it with a man in a while, and that they are about to change that. She tells them to get lost, but they hold her back. She starts to call for help, but one of them covers her mouth with his hand.

That’s when Raul turns around the corner and sees them.

When Raul sees that Juliette is being attacked, he goes over to help her. He tells the men to leave her alone, to which one of them replies that they are only doing this as a favour for him. Raul drags the men away from Juliette and knocks them down, but that doesn’t stop them. Raul eventually manages to fight them off, but both Raul and Juliette get hurt.

Raul takes Juliette to the emergency room. While they are waiting for treatment, Juliette asks Raul what the men meant when they said that they were doing him a favour, but he pretends that he didn’t hear them say that.

The next day, Raul and Juliette report the two men to the police. On their way home, Raul is very protective towards Juliette and even asks her if she wants to have coffee with him. Juliette gets suspicious, and Raul eventually admits that it was his fault that the two men attacked Juliette. He apologizes to her.

Juliette is angry at first, but then she accepts his apology and thanks him for saving her. When Juliette asks Raul whether he has told Kerstin about what happened, it becomes apparent that none of them has heard from Kerstin since she left.

At the apartment, Juliette and Raul have proceeded from coffee to wine. Juliette suggests a truce, as there has been enough fighting already, but Raul replies that he doesn’t have to fight for Kerstin, because she belongs to him and he belongs to her.

When Juliette says that she will not give up on Kerstin, Raul tries to argue with her and knocks over his glass. The red wine pours out on Juliette’s white blouse. She goes to wash it out, but on her way to the bathroom, she stops and tells Raul that they cannot force Kerstin into making a decision, that they have to give her time to decide.

Raul has taken off his shirt and is waiting for Juliette to come out of the bathroom when the door to the apartment is being opened and Kerstin comes in.

Juliette comes out of the bathroom. She is buttoning up Raul’s shirt that she is now wearing. When Kerstin sees her, she is surprised and shocked and demands an explanation. Raul and Juliette try to explain to her that it’s not what Kerstin apparently thinks it is, but Kerstin does not believe them. She grabs her bags and storms out.

The next morning, Kerstin tells Heidi about what she saw, and that she thinks that something happened between Juliette and Raul. Heidi can convince her that the situation was completely harmless, because the two of them were interested in her and not in each other. She asks Kerstin whether she has made a decision, and Kerstin says that she has.

Meanwhile, Juliette, Raul and Carlos are at Daily’s and talk about Kerstin. Raul says that Kerstin will come back to him anyway. Juliette wonders whether he always has to be such a macho, but Carlos says that Raul is probably right, because if Kerstin had decided that she wanted to be with Juliette, she would not have shown up at Raul’s.

Juliette needs a moment to take Carlos’ point in, then suggests that Raul should talk to Kerstin. If he gets what he wants, she would leave, as she does not want to sadden Kerstin any further.

Raul meets with Kerstin at their apartment and explains to her what happened. Kerstin is shocked about the almost-rape, and thanks Raul for helping Juliette. They talk about Kerstin’s trip to England, where she visited her daughter and her granddaughter, then Raul wants to know if Kerstin has made a decision.

Kerstin tells him that she chose neither Juliette nor Raul, but that she has decided that she needs to be alone for a while. She tells him that he can stay at the apartment, but he doesn’t want to. He gets up, takes his coat and leaves.

In the evening, Raul moves in with Carlos, Juliette is waiting for the bus to bring her away from Marienhof, and Kerstin stays alone in her apartment.

  1. Sorry I’m very new to Marienhof. All I follow is Juliette and Kerstin’s storyline which I just started doing recently. Kerstin is a mom, and a grandmom to boot? Did I get it right?

    Thanks as always and happy weekend to you. :-)

  2. I have to admit that I haven’t followed Marienhof for years before this storyline started, and I don’t actually know the character of Kerstin very much, but according to the official website, she does have a (teenage?) daughter who already has a child herself, which makes Kerstin a grandmother. It was said that her daughter and granddaughter live in England.
