Plot outline

Episode 1

Julia, a sport enthusiastic teacher, repeatedly clashes with her conservative colleagues because of her unorthodox views. The students are fond of Julia - the handsome head of class, Jens Leininger, even falls in love with her… What he doesn't know: Julia is lesbian and lives with her friend Anna, a stewardess. Jens invents a story while on a field trip and Julia is charged with "indecency with a dependent". Julia relies on the truth to be revealed and her rehabilitation. Yet she realizes her school council enemies take advantage of the situation: Dr. Meister recommends Julia a transfer. Julia is disappointed and furious. She quits school service "voluntarily".

Episode 2

Julia takes a job as a fitness trainer at the gym of her friend Teddy. Jens' father Gustav insist on the truth, so Jens tells him the facts and his made up story. Gustav is appalled hearing this and offers Julia a trainer job at his company's sports team the PANTHER'S in compensation. Julia accepts. However, Gustav Leininger is very attracted to her as well. Finally she gives in to his advances and they both become lovers - her lesbian girlfriend Anna deals with the shock pretty well, so it seems. At first the relationship between Julia and Gustav seems to work, but when he becomes more and pore possessive, Julia pulls out. He puts her under pressure and she leaves him. In revenge Gustav destroys her career - just as quickly as he built it up.

Episode 3

Julia finds a job in a new super-fitness centre. With the help of her old chum Teddy and his new friend Hajo, Julia slowly finds out about the criminal dealings of her new employer. Not only fruit juice is sold at the bar, but also drugs and steroids. The police blow against the gangsters succeeds with Julia's help and the fitness-centre is closed. At the consequential auction, Julia's extremely wealthy father obtains the business and gives it to his daughter as a present! Since, in the mean time, Jens has publicly told the truth, Julia is rehabilitated and can now again go back to school service. Teddy runs the fitness-centre. Also the relation to Anna is in back in order. Her strike of luck is rounded by a baby - although Gustav is the father - Julia will raise the baby together with Anna...
