Drafting - Attempt 1:
In this episode of the German telenovela Rote Rosen, Victoria experiences profound grief following the departure of Bella. This emotional state leads Victoria to cancel an important press conference. Richard seizes the opportunity presented by Victoria's absence. He appears alone before the cameras to announce a monumental construction project intended to honor Georg, who was Victoria's late husband. Victoria is stunned by this solo action taken by Richard.

Meanwhile, Julius feels patronized by Franka due to her attempts to protect him from Richard. However, the siblings reconcile quickly. Despite this reconciliation, Richard distances himself from Julius, though Julius does not give up.

The plot also follows Jess, who initially feels a sense of liberation after tearing up a contract belonging to Victoria. However, Valerie sows doubt in Jess by suggesting that 100,000 euros would provide a start to an independent life. Consequently, Jess suddenly asks Lou to sign the contract after all, a move that leaves Lou speechless.

In another storyline, Britta and Carla join forces once again. They work together to delve into the past in an effort to clear the name
