They discover that cars with a radio link are incredibly easy to steal. And that the homeless man who was hit had a good reason to lie. If they want to exonerate Alva, they have only one chance: They have to set a trap for the car thieves...

A spontaneous declaration of love ensues – or is Jules on the wrong track here, too?

With Jules' help, the data is restored, and Till can leave for his appointment.

How far would the committed girls go for their environmental campaign "To School Without a Car"?

When a stone flies through the practice window during treatment and a threatening letter from TBF appears, Piet begins to investigate.
