Emma, Henri, and Max want Nina to join the Peppercorns, but she's very reluctant to engage with them. Emma picks Nina as her partner for a photo project, hoping that she’ll find out more about her. But then something unexpected happens…

Emma and Nina follow Milla, the girl who ran off with their camera, and confront her in her messy apartment, where she lives with her sick mother. Although they manage to get the camera back, Nina’s relief is clouded by the fact that she feels sorry for Milla.

Milla, Leila, and Mark have cleaned the place up for Ms. Wiedemann's visit. Is everything going to go as planned?

Milla thanks Emma for not exposing the truth during the youth welfare officer’s visit to the apartment. Meanwhile, Max and Henri set off to visit Nina’s old school — and come closer to cracking her secret.

Nina is acting quite strange... Could it be that she's in love? Meanwhile, the donation box has been stolen from the school administrator’s office!

Franzi confronts her father, Nina has trouble with Max, and the Pellicanos discuss the accusation made against Matteo – while Mr. Sass threatens to call the youth welfare office.

After the Peppercorns conclude that Franzi must have been stealing from their classmates, Max confronts her in the boxing gym. But there's a lot about Franzi that he doesn't know.

Franzi tells Nina that she was the one who stole the cash box. But Nina doesn’t believe her – so Franzi finally tells Nina the truth about her dad, who’s promised to never steal again. The Peppercorns decide to put him to the test.

When Max is at a boxing match with Nina, he gets a call from Emma: Eddie has run away! Should they call the police? Max has another idea…

As Mr. Sass apologizes to Matteo for accusing him of stealing the cash box, Nina announces that the real culprit has turned himself in. Grandpa announces that he’ll be visiting from Italy earlier than expected, and Nina’s dad fends off a secret admirer.

Maria, Nina, and Matteo are horrified to find that someone has completely destroyed the surprise they put together for Antonio. Luckily, the Peppercorns are on the case.
