Episode 260 - 269

The World Championships in "Zurich": presenting Roman "Bunny Stardust" Wild! (Costume department, we love you!)

Diana needs to make a comeback, but Jenny wants to make sure she doesn't reach the ice. (Hello, Tonya Harding!) Meanwhile, Deniz is still trying to convince the world he's straight, much to Tim's chagrin. (Hello, trying too hard!)

Roman shows off his shiny medal to the press. (YAY ROMAN!) Meanwhile, Marian wants to ship Deniz back to Munich for his protection, but Deniz is a BIG BOY and can take care of himself.

Deniz comes up with a plan to raise money so he can pay off the ever-friendly Bernd. He turns on the charm to solicit Roman's help (watch for the arse-slap at 2:06!), succeeding so well that Roman runs around saying "A MEDAL IS A MEDAL!" to everyone he meets. (*hearts Roman*)

Roman steals a victory kiss! :D Nina cries. :(

The victory kiss has hit the papers, outing Roman and exposing Deniz to homophobic jabs from the hockey team. Nina reassures herself over and over that Deniz can't be gay. Because out of everyone, DENIZ IS THE STRAIGHTEST BOY IN ESSEN, RIGHT???

Also FYI, Eskimos rub noses. This is important. ;)

Deniz and Roman choose two vastly different ways to deal with homophobia. [FYI, we're with Roman, in case that wasn't obvious. ;) ]

Annette talks about a lusty sceptre! Enough said!

Okay, and there's some stuff about Oliver leaving Diana for Africa and Diana looking oh so pretty when she cries (really, can anyone cry like she can? *in awe*), but really, we included this episode for the Annette scenes. Take a quick break from Dero angst and enjoy!
