The Carmen Curlers factory opens, and Birthe has become HR manager. Axel looks forward to the Christmas sale cementing Carmen Curlers as an indispensable part of everyday life for all women in the Nordics.

With the expectation of a spectacular Christmas sale, Axel decides to win Tove back. It will not be an easy task, however, because Tove goes her own way. Birthe's Christmas is ruined by an unpleasant surprise that forces her to seek help.

Axel and Frans are hugely successful in Paris and return home with an order for 10,000 curler sets. The order must be delivered within 14 days, which puts the Carmen ladies under tremendous pressure. Jørgen receives good news from the doctor.
