Claire Oelkers, a popular reporter known for her work on the ProSieben program 'Galileo', takes on a new role as Sarah Würzinger, the team captain of a hockey club, in the episode titled 'Eine unglaubliche Affäre'.
The storyline begins with a shocking twist as Jasper Berg, a co-founder of a successful software company, is discovered murdered in his vacation home.

The affair allegedly took place in a hotel in Rosenheim, raising the stakes for a potential motive for murder.
As the episode unfolds, it's revealed that Jasper himself had a secret relationship with Sarah Würzinger, played by Oelkers, which adds complexity to the investigation.
