Episode list

Luis disappears on Alex and Isabell's wedding day of all days. Two unscrupulous arms dealers have taken him into their custody after he saw them hiding ammunition in cars. Almost at the same time, the BKA raids the boat storage facility and suspects Erol and Anton of being connected to terrorists. For weeks, encrypted messages have allegedly been sent from their computer to a Libyan general. Can the "peppercorns" track down Luis and find out who sent emails and ammunition to the suspected terrorist? In all the confusion, Jessi wonders whether she can still be friends with Ceyda, because she sees how much Niklas is in love with her friend. And Anton also realizes with resignation that Jessi is far from over Niklas.

Niklas, Anton, Ceyda and Jessi are invited to a party at a school friend's house. During the party, jewelry is stolen from the parents' bedroom. The first suspicion falls on Niklas, who is the only one who goes to a different school. But Anton and Jessi defend their friend vehemently and are quickly able to prove that he had nothing to do with the crime. The "peppercorns" begin to investigate on their own - only Ceyda withdraws more and more. She prefers to flirt with her party acquaintance Ivo, who seems to return her feelings. Niklas is jealous and quickly concludes that Ivo is the thief. He persuades his friends to set a trap for the heartthrob - and Ceyda agrees, although she is convinced of Ivo's innocence. But both Niklas and Ceyda were mistaken.

Grandma Leni finally has the last installment for her new deep fryer together and drives to the bank with Jessi in the sidecar. There it turns out that some of the banknotes are counterfeit. The police confiscate them and Grandma Leni has to fear for her livelihood. The "peppercorns" are convinced that the counterfeits must have come from a rather careless customer and repeat offender. Who is stupid enough to pay several times at the same snack bar with counterfeit 50 euro notes? Anton builds a counterfeit money detector and lies in wait with Niklas. It doesn't take long before they catch a boy their age. The perpetrator escapes, but Niklas recognizes him: he and Robin were in the same children's home a few years ago and were close friends. Anton, Ceyda, Jessi and Luis have no idea of the dilemma Niklas is in: Should he cover for Robin, lie to his "peppercorn" friends and ultimately harm Grandma Leni? He dares to go it alone and confronts his friend. But the case is not so easy to solve. Because behind Robin's criminal activities are a counterfeit money ring and an unscrupulous stepfather.

Kid stuff.

Erol Cengiz is stunned. During a short family vacation, a customer's sailing boat was stolen from the shed, even though his brother-in-law, Sonja's brother Jörn, was in charge. Since there are no signs of a break-in, the insurance company does not want to pay - and the boat storage business is about to close. Anton has never seen his father so shaken. The Pfefferkörner investigate. Where was their uncle Jörn at the time of the theft? And what does Zlatko, who has a criminal record and likes to chill on the jetty with his friends, have to do with the theft? Ceyda, Jessi, Anton and Niklas observe the suspects and find out that Jörn and Zlatko know each other but cannot be considered as joint perpetrators. Do the Pfefferkörner have to look for the perpetrator in a completely different environment?

The peppercorns are in shock. The headquarters have been broken into, but strangely enough nothing has been stolen. While Jessi wants to inform her parents immediately, Luis is strictly against it. He had just suggested that Isabell and Alex's upcoming wedding take place at the headquarters. Now investigations and preparations must run in parallel, if possible without the wedding couple noticing anything. While the children try to clear up the chaos and make festive decorations, they keep asking themselves what the burglars could have been looking for. Then Jessi finds a note on a piece of chewing gum. Coincidence? The trail leads the peppercorns to the now deceased jewel thief Oskar Niereich, who is said to have hidden his last loot somewhere in the Speicherstadt. The peppercorns search every corner of the headquarters once again - until Luis suddenly discovers that they are being watched by tiny surveillance cameras.
