"Forbidden Love" video clip update: Friends in high places

Today's Forbidden Love picks up with Crazy Eyes Axel gloating about the fact that the charges against him have been dropped, which sends Christian into a very hot rage (and I love that Olli has to literally hold him back).

Axel tries to order a drink, and is dumbfounded when Gregor orders him to leave (and he also calls Constantin a "little sausage", which is such a bizarre insult to throw, I actually giggled a little). Before he slimes his way out, he does take a moment to hit on Countess Carla, who looks appropriately skeeved out.

"trolling the mens restrooms at the Republican National Convention"

Lars explains that there wasn't enough evidence to put Axel on trial, but Constantin is adamant that there must be something he and Carla can do, at least about getting an article published. Carla has a definite look of "it'll take all of my lesbionic abilities, but leave it to me!"

Back at home, Olli and Christian are having their usual "you can't quit boxing!" conversation ... in the bathtub? Um, was there a tornado warning? Are they having plastic slipcovers put on the couch? Did Judith let one rip in the living room? In any event, they both agree that they have to be positive that everything will work out (and thank heavens Olli finally ripped that band-aid off. He was starting to get into creepy Les Nessman territory).

The rest we'll leave to you, but suffice it to say, never underestimate a power lesbian!

Once again, the strength of this episode is in the natural relationship of Olli and Christian, and the sense of community that exists in their circle of friends. These are all people who love and care for each deeply, and will automatically "circle the wagons" when there's an outside threat.
