Tropes in this episode

  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Alex Edel, a Oberleutnant in the army, clearly considers his sister Yvonne, who's part of a cult, as such. When his father dispatches him to bring her home they immediately start arguing.
  • Assassination Attempt: The hotel waitress tries to kill Martin. He manages to fight her off, and she flees.
  • Cassandra Truth: Renate remembers the phone call she overheard Martin make and correctly deduces that Martin drugged her so she'd forget about it. Her sister, Ursula Edel, dismisses this as drunken fantasy, however.
  • Easy Amnesia: Martin pretends to have amnesia after the fight with the waitress.
  • Femme Fatale Spy: The hotel waitress tries to seduce Martin before trying to kill him.
  • Fish out of Water: Martin runs into trouble ordering dinner at a restaurant, not being used to having so many options, and doesn't know about giving his room number to bill the meal to it.
  • Freak Out: After the assassination attempt Martin cleans himself up in the bathroom and just starts laughing.
  • The Handler: Tischbier acts as Martin's this episode, instructing him in how to break into Mayer's hotel room.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Lenora easily manipulates Annett into moving in with Ingrid and taking care of her.
