Goulash for the hostage-taker (3x3)

:

Sophie is so depressed about her failed wedding and the sudden departure of her father that she lets everything slide. She doesn't clean up anymore, doesn't clean and she has no interest in her work. Not even in the new case: Prisoner Romanski has escaped from the Koblenz prison and his escape could lead via Hengash. At the station, Bärbel shows signs of fatigue as she has to stand in for her sick brother on the farm. Dietmar, on the other hand, is in a good mood, after all, Heike cooks his favorite goulash. That's when Dietmar receives the shocking news: The gangster has taken Heike hostage. When Heike and Romanski start talking, she learns that he has broken out to save his marriage. The caring Heike shows empathy for him and offers goulash to the hungry hostage-taker. Sophie manages to stage a diversionary maneuver and overwhelm Romanski. Dietmar's mother Irmtraud suddenly appears at the door with her suitcases packed – much to Heike's horror.
