action
Inspector Stubbe is called to a skyscraper , where the freight forwarder Eva Hartmann was found dead below the balcony. Hartmann has pre- mortal injuries, which ruled out suicide for Stubbe and his colleague Zimmermann. You will also find a blackmail letter . Stubbe and Zimmermann investigate within the shipping company and ask their deputy David Kessler, who cannot imagine who should have harmed the generous and charming woman.
Christiane Stubbe has started an internship at a local radio station. So she is given the task of researching the case that her father is investigating. When he finds out, he is extremely angry and tries to explain to her that one of the drivers she wants to interview could be a murderer and that could be very dangerous for her. But she absolutely wants to use her chance to get in close contact with the haulage company's drivers. Here she immediately “collides” with Jimmy, a very extroverted driver who always seems to be in a bad mood and lets everyone around her feel it. Christiane's persistence, however, pays off and Jimmy not only tolerates her near her, but she is even allowed to take her on a trucker tour. Jimmy is not very talkative, but shows uncompromising solidarity with her truck colleagues. During their journey together, Christiane learns that company boss Eva had taken care of Jimmy when no one wanted to have anything to do with her because she was simply too rebellious. Jimmy loved Eva and Eva had found her third love in Jimmy after two unsuccessful marriages .
In his investigations, Wilfried Stubbe concentrates on the extortion letter, which most likely did not apply to Eva Hartmann, but wrote it herself. Her company was not doing well financially and she hadn't received a loan from the bank, which is probably why she wanted to go this fundraising route. The target of this blackmail is likely to have been her ex-husband Charles Reinecke. There is a sore point in his past and this is where Stubbe suspects the solution. Reinecke's father disappeared without a trace over 20 years ago and a witness claimed at the time that his son had killed him. That could not be proven at the time, but Stubbe thinks it is a plausible reason for blackmail. He also has an idea where to look for Hermann Reinecke's body and that works.
Jimmy, who has not come to terms with the death of her friend Eva, is also certain that Charles Reinecke is the killer. Unfortunately, he also knows that she knows and follows her with the car on her current truck tour. Clever as she is, she noticed, got herself a pistol and dropped her co-driver Christiane very harshly at a motorway parking lot so as not to endanger her. In the next parking lot she sets a trap for Reinecke, lures him to her and threatens him with a gun. Jimmy wants to know why he killed Eva. Reinecke explains to her that he did not have the 350,000 euros requested by Eva and therefore could not give it. Christiane, who followed Jimmy by hitchhiking in another truck, interferes with the confession and Reinecke uses this to escape. Jimmy, determined to bring her plan to an end and avenge Eva's death, follows Reinecke and calls truck colleagues by radio to hunt him down. That's why Christiane quickly sends her father a text message and he doesn't hesitate for long. Together with Zimmermann, informed by the radio announcements from the truckers, he goes to Christiane and Jimmy, whom Charles Reinecke has just put. He is arrested and Christina finds out from Jimmy what the drama of Eva's death was: It was Jimmy's idea to blackmail Reinecke and Eva hadn't known anything about it. Reinecke had brought the letter with him on the evening of the crime, which is why it was in Eva's apartment.
Subplot
Wilfried's friend Claudia uses the time Charlotte is in rehab after her heart operation to try living with the Stubbes. But Claudia has to realize that she cannot counter the “mental presence” of Wilfried's deceased wife. That's why she separates from Wilfried.

criticism
Tilmann P. Gangloff evaluated for Tittelbach.tv and Kino.de :: The "thrillingly staged family thriller [has] a real discovery in store: Jana Schulze, a fixture at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, plays the scratchy Jimmy, whose name adorns a rainbow-colored sign, with an enchanting mixture of rough skin and obvious injuries. ”Also“ Stephanie Stumph [does] her job routinely and without visible effort. ”“ Most of the time, 'Chrissie' [...] only served to address Mr Papa's professional problems through family conflicts to take it to the extreme. ”“ This time she gets in her father's way [even] because her own job leads her on the same track. ”
For the critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm , the Stubbe case Third Love was “wanted by the police for wit and tension”, but gave the film the best possible rating (thumbs up) despite its critical evaluation.
Fabian Riedner from Oddsmeter.de assessed: “The script has strong weaknesses, because the first five minutes are confusing and in the end there is no important scene. Rather, the viewer is fed only with unnecessary images that do not contribute to understanding. ”“ Overall, the investigations are progressing far too slowly, because the episode 'Third Love' only starts to get exciting after just under an hour. You didn't have to watch beforehand, because anyone could have jumped into this shallow storyline immediately. [And also] the showdown [...] totally failed. "
