Summary
Beautiful Diana Markus is sentenced to ten years prison for inciting her lover to kill her boyfriend. Lovesick teacher Bergmann falls in love with her after watching her in court. Bergmann is determined to break her out, no matter who gets hurt. Moser and Rex are charged with catching the run-away pair.
The good
I thought Anne Kasprik was very good as Diana Markus, a very laid back criminal who rarely does anything herself. Also nice to see Sabine Petzl again, albeit briefly. Böck has a nice little moment of conspiracy with Rex and Fritz Muliar returns as Max. Once again Rex has to drag a reluctant Moser out of bed.
The bad
This episode seemed a bit rushed, especially at the end. A few questions are left unanswered.
