Aired: 3/25/2025

Ditte Jensen discovers that her new neighbors are far from perfect. They are people struggling with various problems and personality flaws, clearly in need of help. She also has to confront the ghosts of her past, which haunt her both awake and in her dreams. And then there’s the cat. Ditte finds it easier to deal with him, because she is perfect - or almost.

2. A Broken Child

Ditte confronts young children’s screen addiction and provides therapy for toxic masculinity, even if it leads to a few broken hearts. As she forms closer ties with the community in the building, the more tasks arise. On the first floor there are refugees in distress, the family on the third floor suffers from codependency, and on the second floor resides the building’s environmental mess - which also happens to be the chairman of the tenants’ association.

Ditte’s dream of creating a passionate, family-like community - with herself at the centre as the building’s helper and saviour - seems to be coming true.

With that, she can cross two tasks off her “list.”

Ditte takes on one final assignment for the Danish intelligence service.

At the same time, she unexpectedly clashes with organized crime in Iceland, facing a worthy adversary.
