The evening in the bar ends traumatically for Heike Steinbeck. She is raped in an underpass. A young woman helps Heike and pays for her courage with her life. The conspicuous features of the crime lead Vera and her colleagues to a well-known sex offender: Marcel Richter, recently released after ten years in prison for rape. Despite his alibi, Richter seems suspicious. Vera takes Heike in to protect her. When the two women have to put a burglar to flight, Vera Lanz is no longer sure: Was Heike a random victim or did the perpetrator specifically target her? Who would have an interest in harming Heike? The estranged husband of Heike's new girlfriend, Nicole Obermair, gets in Vera's focus. Eight new episodes of "Die Chefin" will be broadcast on Fridays at 8:15 p.m.

The corpse in a Munich body of water does not remain anonymous to Vera Lanz for long. Nadja, 15, criminal record: drugs and prostitution. The only thing that is surprising is her last place of residence: a residential area. The street girl lived in the villa of the couple Beate and Lothar Lukaschek. Former dancer Beate supports social dance projects for girls from difficult backgrounds. Nadja was her flagship project. But for Vera Lanz, the idyll has cracks. Why does Nadja move into an apartment on the outskirts shortly before she dies? Paul Böhmer takes on the choreographer Weidner and the other dancers. Were the girls possibly jealous of Nadja's special treatment? With Flo Wenning, the trumpeter bites on granite. Flo is a friend of Nadja's from hard times, who is proven to have rioted at the Lukascheks.
Vera Lanz is more fortunate with her interrogation: Flo put Nadja in contact with the dance project. She wanted to get her best friend off the street and now accuses the rich couple of having dropped Nadja.
