Živa si je z Nikino ekskluzivno informacijo o Hafnerjevem vstopu v politiko popravila status v uredništvu. Z urednikom Pretnarjem naredita prvi veliki intervju s Hafnerjem. Zvečer v uredništvu pride do zbližanja, ki pa ni po Živini volji. Živa si zaradi strahu za svojo prihodnost ne upa zavrniti urednika.
In the hospital, Nika receives confirmation that she was raped. Fragmented memories emerging into her consciousness point to a taxi driver. Meanwhile, Živa improves her standing in the newsroom thanks to Nika’s exclusive information about Hafner’s entry into politics. Together with editor Pretnar, she conducts the first major interview with Hafner. Later that evening in the newsroom, an unwanted closeness occurs — not by Živa’s choice. Out of fear for her future, Živa does not dare to reject the editor.
