Episode 5 of "Unfamiliar" begins at the safe house, where Nina realizes that this isn't an ordinary residence. Simon leaves Meret a desperate message, but she can't respond as she's tied up in a hotel room. Fortunately, Simon is able to track down one of Meret's aliases at the hotel she went to. He arrives and makes his way to the room, where he and Meret take down Jonas. Simon informs her about Gregor's death and lets her decide what to do with Jonas. She knocks him out, and by the time Joseph arrives, they're already gone.
Elsewhere, Julika and Alice discuss the mole. Alice advises Julika to keep the information from Ben, but Julika goes to him anyway and tells him she's been receiving anonymous texts from someone who knows all about Belarus. As they discuss the situation, Ben begins to suspect Alice, since Julika saw her talking to Josef before he got away. He calls internal affairs, and IA officers soon arrive and question Alice first. They also find the cellphone taped to the top of the elevator.
In the safe house, Nina asks Katya who she really is. Katya keeps things vague and tells Nina that Meret would turn the world upside down for her - a bit odd considering the context! When Simon and Meret return to the safe house, they get into a heated argument that starts with Gregor's death and moves towards her affair with Jonas - she claims she was just getting information - and ends with Simon accusing Meret of only caring about herself and not about him or Nina.
In the end, Simon, Meret, and Katya make a new plan. Katya calls Josef and offers to work together to get their child back from Meret. She tells him to meet her alone, and he agrees. Katya waits for Josef on a pier by a beach while Meret points a sniper gun towards the area. Unfortunately, when Josef arrives, Katya decides to attack him herself instead of letting Meret take her shot. Of course, Josef stops her easily and escapes on a boat. From another vantage point, Jonas shoots at Katya and Meret as they run towards their van, hitting Meret's shoulder.
Elsewhere, Vera makes her first speech as ambassador. She gets a surprise visit from her father, Sasha, and learns that there seems to be a problem with Starfish - their mole. At the BND, Julika learns that Alice has disappeared and that her fingerprints were found on the elevator cellphone. Julika frantically looks for her and is shocked to find Alice's body in her office - she's hung herself. Later, Ben realizes that the words Josef said to Alice were the opening lines of a book called "The StarFish," her code name.
However, Julika is not satisfied with the explanation. She locates Vera at the restaurant where she was dining with her father and confronts her about Alice. Vera is about to call for security but stops when Julika starts talking about Belarus. Meanwhile, Simon, Meret, and Katya return to the safe house, where Simon retrieves the bullet embedded in Meret's shoulder. He is surprised to see that the bullet is equipped with a GPS tracker, revealing to Josef their exact location.
**Revised and Polished Version**:
Julika's dissatisfaction with the explanation is palpable as she tracks down Vera at the restaurant where she was dining with her father. Confronting her about Alice, Vera hesitates to call for security until Julika mentions Belarus, capturing her attention.
In parallel, Simon, Meret, and Katya make their way back to the safe house. There, Simon carefully removes the bullet embedded in Meret's shoulder, only to discover that it's equipped with a GPS tracker. This revelation informs Josef of their precise location, adding a layer of urgency to their situation.
