Charlotte is called to a crime scene as Nyssen throws a huge party with Helga and makes an important announcement. Season premiere.

!!Tropes:

* ContrivedCoincidence: Charlotte, acting as an auxiliary photographer on New Year's eve, is called to the crime scene at the department store where "Nazi" Gereon accidentally bumps into her while running from the cops. It leads to a misunderstanding that lasts for almost the entire season.
* DelayedExplosion: Nothing happens when the countdown to launch Nyssen's rocket goes to zero. Surprised looks everywhere. Then the rocket suddenly ignites and takes off, leaving a cheering crowd behind.
* DirtyCops: The cops called in to investigate the break-in at the department store, take the opportunity and steal jewelry from the already broken glass vitrines. One of them even goes as far as killing one of the intruders in cold blood to take his loot.
* HandGagging: While hiding from the cops on the rooftop, Moritz hand-gags Toni in order to muffle her SneezeOfDoom. ShipTease incorporated.
* HandStomp: During the RooftopConfrontation at the department store, a DirtyCop pushes Toni's companion over the edge but her manages to [[LiteralCliffHanger hang on to the staffage]]. Then the cop stomps on his right hand which makes the boy lose his grip and fall to his death.
* MilkingTheGiantCow: Fittingly for the era of GermanExpressionism, Nyssen performs this hand gesture while delivering a NewEraSpeech about Germany reaching for the stars with the help of his company's inventions.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: At the opening New Years' party at the Nyssens, Helga and Nyssen's mother have an exchange of hostile words, all the while smiling at each other for the public.
* RooftopConfrontation: Toni, her companion and Moritz escape to the rooftop of the building where a policeman catches Toni's friend and sends him over the edge via a HandStomp.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The boy with whom Toni breaks into the department store gets killed in the aftermath, a mere 20 minutes after his introduction.
