Dirk tries to console and help a homeless man named Kutte whom he has known for 15 years. While on patrol, Ben and Katja come across a young woman buckled over in severe pain.

Katja and Ben are part of a rare and special moment that then goes terribly awry: a woman gives birth to a baby boy before disappearing suddenly.

The young mother cannot be found anywhere, and we learn that she is in high school and still lives at home. Kutte is found camped out in front of the precinct, despite Dirk having secured him a place to sleep at the night shelter.

Miriam's mother finds out that Miriam skipped school and locks her in her bedroom. Meanwhile, Henning and Harry investigate a fight between neighbors, and Dirk deals with Kutte.

While Lothar, Dirk, and Nicki contemplate life and death at the station, Miriam's baby disappears from the hospital and is known to be in grave danger. Meanwhile, Harry and Henning try to get to the bottom of the mail theft case that has caused a dispute between two neighbors.

The team desperately searches for the young mother and her baby, who is in need of medical attention. Dirk is torn as to whether he should adopt Kutte, because he isn't sure he can afford it.

Miriam's mother confronts her about the baby and refuses to accept her decision to keep it, eventually kicking her out. Meanwhile, Harry begins to suspect that the building manager has something to hide...

Henning and Harry discover that Potowski did in fact steal the letters, then find him in grave danger. Dirk reaches a decision about Kutte, and Miriam realizes that trusting her father with her newborn was a very bad decision.

Dirk goes to wake Kutte, only to find a very sad scene. Meanwhile, Harry and Henning wrap things up with the stolen mail incident.
