- Sensibilität für die Toten, Intuition für die Lebenden und Aufmerksamkeit für verdächtige Fakten: Anna Fischer ist wieder Lisa Taubenbaum, die die Ermittlungen in einem nur anscheinend eindeutigen Autounfall vorwärtstreibt. Zwei Leichen werden dem Bestattungsunternehmen Taubenbaum diesmal anvertraut, bei deren Tod Lisa Widersprüche feststellt. Das Drehbuch zu "Die Bestatterin - Zweieinhalb Tote" schrieben Matthias Kiefersauer und Alexander Liegl. In der Regie von Fabian Möhrke sind an der Seite von Anna Fischer wieder Artus Maria Matthiesen und Frederik Bott als Vater und Sohn Taubenbaum zu sehen und Christoph Letkowski als Kriminalkommissar und On-off-Beziehung Thomas Zellinger. Auf der Fahrt zu einem Junggesellenabschied verunglücken zwei junge Männer aus Hepperlingen in ihrem Auto tödlich und stürzen in einen Fluss. Ihre Leichen werden geborgen und Bestatterin Lisa Taubenbaum anvertraut. Die beiden hatten gemeinsam mit Mario, dem Eigentümer des Wagens, Junggesellenabschied gefeiert. Aber wo ist Mario? Von ihm fehlt jede Spur. Marios Ehefrau weiß nicht, ob sie hoffen oder bangen soll. Lisa, die in der Schulzeit mit Mario liiert war, ist überzeugt, dass er noch lebt. Sie gerät in Clinch mit dem ermittelnden Kommissar Thomas Zellinger, den sie hartnäckig auf Ungereimtheiten aufmerksam macht. Als Mario nach einigen Tagen quicklebendig in Hepperlingen auftaucht, vermutet Zellinger, dass er den Tod seiner beiden Freunde vorsätzlich verursacht hat, und präsentiert ein Motiv, von dem Lisa nicht überzeugt ist. Sie nimmt ihre alte Liebe bei sich auf und erregt damit den Unmut von Zellinger. Mario schweigt beharrlich. Obwohl er alle außer Lisa gegen sich hat, möchte er keinesfalls preisgeben, was in der Nacht des Unfalls wirklich geschehen ist.

- The widowed bookworm Hermann believes he has found the right person in the elegant literature lover Hanne - but not for life, but for his imminent death. After being diagnosed with cancer, the melancholy pensioner neither wants to fight nor languish like his beloved wife 30 years ago, but wants to resign in a self-determined manner - as long as he is still doing well. However, suicide or euthanasia are out of the question for Hermann, out of consideration for his single-parent daughter Claudia and his grandson Lenny, who have no idea about his serious illness. Through his acquaintance with the widow Hanne, whose well-to-do husband died shortly after their marriage, he had a surefire idea: he had to marry the "Black Widow", who, as a trained pharmacist, was very familiar with poison. In order to win Hanne's heart, the sometimes insensitive and know-it-all Hermann relies on a well-dosed mixture of imposture, understatement and charm. In this way he gets closer to the woman he is courting, but his goal is becoming more and more a possibility: through the romantic approach to his widow-to-be, life makes him happy again.

On the arduous path to the prescribed improvement, nobody can fool her so easily. Who, if not her, could get the insolent bankruptcy fraudster Merle Scheffler on course? That's what judge Thomas Aschenbach thinks, who has had an affair with Klara for 15 years and knows her stubbornness like no one else. He gives her the care of the snooty ex-millionaire who continues her luxury life with brazen tricks. Klara first gains respect in her resolute way. She soon learns that Merle has even cheated her former workforce out of social security contributions. Now the probation officer really wants to know - and puts the velvet gloves aside completely.

To her astonishment, Rudi's life story points to her own childhood, which she spent in homes and with foster parents. When old wounds tear open on her, Klara's previously irrefutable credo begins to falter: whether everyone really deserves a second chance, suddenly she no longer seems so sure.
