Det truer Idas studenterkursus, at hun ikke kan finde et arbejde efter fyringen fra radiofabrikken. Hun bliver dog reddet af en uventet anbefaling fra "Bella". Som tak indvilger hun i at se Erik igen, men hans ubetænksomhed er kilde til stadig irritation. Det kulminerer aftenen før hendes vigtige årsprøve, hvor Erik uforvarende kommer til at låse hende ind i "Bella"s udviklingsafdeling, hvor han har vist hende sit hemmeligt-byggede fjernsyn. Ida beslutter aldrig at se ham igen, men kommer alligevel på andre tanker. Søs' forældre tror ikke på, hun er blevet forulempet nytårsaften. Hun finder frem til sin redningsmand Palle, der forklarer sagens rette sammenhæng i direktørhjemmet.
