After a few days, Jana falls in love with Andi Fritzsche (Dominic Saleh-Zaki), but he is in a relationship with Franziska von Beyenbach (Lina Tiedtke). After a fire, the drunk Andi kisses Jana and she replies the kiss. Jana has a guilty conscience about the kiss and tells Franziska the truth. She can't believe that and breaks up with Andi. Jana hopes that she and Andi will have a future, when he is over his relationship with Franziska. Nico can't stand Andi and doesn't want, that he gets involved with Jana.
