Valerie can’t accept that Hans-Harald has stopped sending her money. Julius suspects she’s lacking love and affection. Valerie rejects this, but Simon’s presence exerts a powerful pull on her. That night, she accompanies him on a wolf hunt, and playful teasing blossoms into a sizzling attraction. In the morning, however, Valerie jolts awake with a start: Simon is asleep beside her-and outside, a wolf is howling. Valerie makes a fateful decision. Michael is shocked: Ellie has forged her application documents, but Carla stands by her. Michael gives Ellie an ultimatum: resign or confess to Julius. Nervous about Gerd’s date invitation, Victoria, encouraged by Lou, finds courage: love knows no age. Will she give Gerd a chance? Jess struggles with self-doubt before the author reading, but inspired by other authors, she plucks up her courage and reads aloud herself. How will the audience react?
