The punishment for Sister Lela's alleged involvement in Emma's drug possession makes the young actress fall apart: Lela is to be transferred to another monastery. Sister Hildegard goes in search of Stolpe, who has been depressed and avoided the mother house since her "love misunderstanding", because she urgently needs him as her literary agent. When Mrs. Krautstingl's daughter suddenly stands in the cloister courtyard, Felicitas suspects nothing good. The old lady has high expenses from shopping at the shopping channel, but cannot remember how it came about. Since the delivery address for the goods leads directly to the monastery, Hanna finally confronts Felicitas.

Since Wöller's sudden severe back pain endangers his reception for the Chinese delegation, he has to rely on Sister Agnes' miracle ointment. But he only gets it if he helps Hanna with Martin's problem.
