Old-fashioned gymnasium Latin teacher Bernd Wächter, is accused of attempting to strangle cocky C-pupil Simon Henke, sort of documented by an anonymous video which breaks off at the crucial point. Wächter convincingly denies but risks loosing his job, having been fired before when drunk after his divorce, and is suspended. Hans gets classmate Hanna Jepsen's 'confidential testimony'. After father Oliver Henke gets Wächter suspended, Simon is reported missing, until Mattes finds him sort of hiding, as if guilty, with fresh facial wounds. The plot thickens with multiple blackmail, involving Wächter's pet A-pupil Julian Friedrichs. Mattes is ready to hand Eva his key, but her career plans point to the US.
