Pretnar is accused in the media of sexual abuse and loses his job. Nika continues her investigation but finds herself at a dead end. She confronts Pero, who was the last person with her at the alleged crime scene, but he too is clearly not the right suspect. Just as Nika convinces herself that the worst scenario was only imagined, a new lead emerges that rekindles her suspicions. Hafner searches within his party for Pero’s spy, while Pretnar sues the newspaper for wrongful termination. Editor‑in‑chief Ema Mrak turns to Nika, asking her to represent them in court.
