Summary
On an ice rink, a young woman named Karin is arguing with her brother over money. She refuses to give him a loan and skates off into the ice rink with a can of drink in her hand. As the brother watches, she collapses and dies. Suspecting a case of poisoning, an ambulance worker calls in Moser and Rex. With new teammate Böck in tow, they begin to follow the trail of the soft drink can.
The good
Moser often teases Böck without being mean. This episode there is a lot of our three Inspectors working together. Böck and Höllerer both try their hand at teaching Rex new tricks, although as Moser says, "Accept it... he's smarter than you are."
The bad
I didn't like Kathrin Pilz as Karin Lobner but since she dies during the first few minutes, I guess it really isn't an issue.
