'Vienna Blood' Season 3 Opens with "Deadly Communication"

As viewers may remember last time Vienna Blood was on the air, Season 2 left things on a cliffhanger. However, it's been a year since then, both in our time and theirs. Since viewers were last in Edwardian Vienna, Max has written a best seller on the subject of psychoanalysis and moved to a fancy new address and hired a housekeeper, Elena (Victoria Nikolaevskaja). However, when Oskar is called into the murder of Adele Zeiler (Sara Schmidt), a seamstress at the exclusive Modesalon of Madame Vogl (Lisa Marie Potthoff), he tracks down Max to his new digs and asks for help.

Oskar: To devastation!

Adele had been left to lock up by the foreman, Valentin (Nils Artzmann), though unbeknownst to him, she stayed to wear Vogl's latest designs for a boyfriend. Jaeger and his new assistant, Frau Koppensteiner (Anne Kulbatzki), determine it was a hatpin to the back of the neck, and max realizes it must have been during sex. Max and Oskar head to the fashion house to ask questions and run into Clara. We learn she's become a writer, doing articles on the fashion industry, as Max tells Oskar Clara called off her engagement to Jonas after Season 2's ending window incident. However, the two did not get re-engaged; they decided never to see each other again if they could help it.
