No. The chemistry isn't right from the start between Julia and the new member of the WaPo-Bodensee team, Jakob Frings, whom she demonstratively gives the cold shoulder to as soon as he arrives at the office. Jakob is the complete opposite of the modest, meticulous Pirmin, whom Julia mourns. Jakob knows about his charm and lets everyone know that he successfully worked undercover in Frankfurt am Main. Julia finds this scary. Mechthild, on the other hand, says "wonderful" and is happy to rent the smart guy the granny flat in her house. Her daughter Nele, who now has to share a roof over her head with her new employee in her private life and feels compelled to demand loyalty from her mother, doesn't find this at all funny... But all these sensitivities fade into the background when Paul Schott pulls a seriously injured man, Victor Eder, out of the water, whose condition seems to stabilize in the hospital before he dies. The head of the clinic, Dr. Bürki, diagnoses a heart defect. However, the autopsy of the body reveals that the body had been poisoned. Suspicion falls on Eder's wife Marianne, who inherits his fortune and clearly no longer likes him. The investigation into another case against the known scoundrel Alex Jessen and his girlfriend Jana for organized gambling on a yacht makes the use of an undercover investigator necessary - Jakob Frings's hour has come. But in doing so he puts his life in danger.

Everything looks like a tragic accident. Bank advisor Benjamin Murjahn's rowing boat was driven onto the bank in the morning after a collision with another boat. His wife Tina freezes when Nele and Paul bring her the news of her husband's disappearance. But Julia and Jakob's research suddenly reveals another possibility: Murjahn was involved in dubious investment deals, had legal proceedings on his hands and could have made off - together with his wife, who suddenly disappeared too. After all, disappointed pensioners who lost their savings would have wanted revenge... A few dramatic incidents later, the WaPo crew suspects where to look. And then it is Jakob's Frings and the experience of Paul and Nele who see through the confusion and the case appears to be solved. Too soon to celebrate. In the exciting showdown on Lake Constance, Nele makes a lonely decision that turns everything upside down and almost offends Paul a little. But she also has to come to terms with the fact that her mother Mechthild is going viral - with the help of her grandson Niklas. He explains to Grandma how she can generate clicks for her new video blog. Mechthild now has a mission. She sets off with apple fritters and anti-aging tips and is amazed at what happens at the end.

Julia and Jakob's morning stand-up paddling in the Love Bay comes to an abrupt end when Julia discovers a lifeless body on the shore. Instead of yoga exercises with Jakob, it's now time for detective police work. Heiko Krüger, that's the name of the dead man, was shot with a hunting rifle. Nele and Paul quickly find out that the dead man was actively committed to environmental protection with all his might. In doing so, he also sought confrontation with the building contractor Peter Lorenz, who is also a passionate hunter. Heiko had discovered a rare species of bird on the planned building site for a hotel project, the presence of which would have prevented the construction. To Nele's great horror, her mother Mechthild now also becomes an environmental activist, forcing Paul to go on a special mission... While Heiko's girlfriend Leonie, who lived in a shared apartment with the computer science student Johann and Heiko, takes the law into her own hands, her ex-boyfriend Tom becomes the target of the investigators. He stalked his ex after the end of the relationship and was in the Love Bay at the time of the crime. But no matter where the investigation leads: doubts remain, there are alibis and in the end it is Mechthild who has the crucial clue for her daughter. She is determined to win a bet with her grandson Niklas. She has no idea what trump card Niklas has up his sleeve.

The morning inspection of Yan Brenner's boat by Julia and Paul comes to nothing. The Mafia drug courier, known to the police, had previously thrown the suitcase containing several kilos of cocaine overboard. The perfect starting capital to escape the looming boarding school and sheer boredom to Portugal, the two young people think when the suitcase washes up in front of their tent on the shore of Lake Constance. But they have not reckoned with Brenner, who is doing everything he can to get his drugs back. And Nele and her team also follow the trail of the young runaways Katja Hartmann and Marco Reichert, who want to sell the coke to the ex-dealer Chris. But the dream of escaping the drug world turns into a nightmare. Yan is ready for anything and is armed. And he knows where to look... Meanwhile, Jakob Frings is really getting sidelined by his landlady, Nele's mother Mechthild. His constantly changing girlfriends have always been a thorn in Mechthild's side. But when his latest conquest, Tanja, turns the white bedclothes pink with her red bra during the wash, it's all over. Mechthild visits her tenant at his office. But the meeting doesn't go quite as she expected.

Fate seemed to have been kind to Tim Feringer. The playboy was the Olympic sailing hope from Lake Constance. Now he is found dead. Like a beginner, struck down by the sail boom of his boat. But the investigations by Nele and Paul reveal that the boat was tampered with. The search for the perpetrator opens up abysses. For his father Rainer, Tim was the center of his life. For him, a world is literally falling apart. His shipyard is on the verge of bankruptcy. His daughter Maike, who has always been in her brother's shadow, is also suffering as a result. When it also becomes clear that the rival shipyard, Leitner, also has motives for sabotage, Julia Demmler and Frings see the light. There, Jannis Leitner could never please his father Ole. And Ole had secretly offered Tim a contract so that his Olympic glory would help his shipyard to gain more fame. The WaPo team must now act quickly to prevent further disaster. Because the family feud is taking on an unpleasant dynamic.

The sudden end of a fun boat trip with friends: When a guest falls over the railing and sinks into Lake Constance before Mechthild's eyes, it is a case for her daughter Nele and the WaPo team. It quickly turns out that the dead man had consumed a poisonous cocktail with the liqueur "Konstanzer Kwitte". The married couple Elke and Bernhard Schröder, who distill the new liquor, cannot explain how the poison got into their hand-filled bottles. But then many pieces of the puzzle come together: Boat owner Clemens Vollmer, who can no longer pay for his berth, was once Elke Schröder's lover and an employee in the distillery. The Schröders' house has long belonged to the beautiful real estate agent Anna Devroius. And then time is running out. More poison victims have to be treated in hospitals. Mechthild unknowingly gives a friend a contaminated bottle of "Konstanzer Kwitte" for his birthday and blames herself endlessly. The police seem powerless. All suspects have an alibi. But then Jakob Frings comes up with a ruse and Nele appeals to wounded male pride. Nevertheless, everything would have gone up in smoke in the end if Paul had not been able to dive silently. The main question on his mind is: is Julia actually having an affair with her colleague Jakob?

Anna and her boyfriend Florian celebrate their recent high school graduation with a trip in their rubber dinghy. A speeding motorboat puts an abrupt end to their happiness. The mahogany yacht races right over the rubber dinghy. Anna manages to save herself, but Florian dies as a result of the attack. The driver of the boat deliberately headed for the rubber dinghy - Anna is quite sure of that. With a bit of luck, Paul Schott will find the owner of the outrageously expensive boat: the rich Swiss businessman Rene Balsiger, however, did not drive it himself - Nele, Julia and their Swiss colleague, Sergeant Dominik Stähli, quickly realize that. When the boat is to be overhauled at a shipyard, the investigators realize that danger is imminent. During the initial gathering of evidence, events take a dramatic turn. Samir Bin Habib, a friend of Balsiger's son Reto, initially flees, only to then confess in the presence of his lawyer. The case is thus closed. However, after talking to her son Niklas, Nele continues to doubt the course of events. Niklas knew Florian and knows that Reto Balsiger was in Florian's parallel class. His girlfriend Anna receives mysterious calls on Florian's number and agrees to a fateful meeting... Is the Bodan 1, the police boat, fast enough to save a life?

When a yacht moors to his sailing boat, it's normal for Nils. A friend from Ruben Lohmann's gang must be on board. But a blow from the sail boom sweeps Nils off the deck into Lake Constance... Paul Schott first discovers the rudderless sailing boat and then the young man floating dead next to the boat. Ruben and his girlfriend Solveig and their friend Marcel are happily living their days and giving each other alibis when the police find them in their bathing bay. Jakob Frings doesn't trust the peace and offers Nele to investigate undercover in the gang. But Nele doesn't want to hear anything about it. She has no idea that Jakob is now gaining the trust of Ruben and Co in his free time and thus gaining completely new insights into the group dynamics of the gang. Somehow the three of them seem to be spying on each other and suddenly Marcel disappears. First he can no longer be found, then a collection of watches belonging to Rubens' rich father appears on the Internet and finally all the evidence points to Marcel, who could never afford as much as Ruben. When Jakob tells Nele about his unauthorized investigations, she immediately takes him off the case. Jakob continues on his own. With fatal consequences. Ruben, who now distrusts his girlfriend Solveig, makes a fateful decision. Jakob's life is in danger.
