Jean-Paul Derdeyn's manipulative younger wife Kathleen eagerly blames his daughter Lotte for his potentially fatal cardiac condition, but he recovers well enough to pull rank as director and overrule his own regulations. Jasper's trauma with disloyal Veerle has turned him off blonds altogether, yet he won't dump a girl as cruelly, but visits an erotic restaurant with his roomy Jens, only they're not amused to land in the gay section, where they can't even see the girls strip-show; next day, the boys even try a bordello. When two Down patients turn up in hospital eager to 'buy a baby', Elke takes to their 'right to intimacy'.

To Jasper's delight, Lotte enjoyed their night out enough to come help him in the surf club and accepts no payment: she just wants to spend the rest of the night together. Elke has had her triumph, the Down syndrome-couple's fake 'wedding', in unamused Jean-Paul Derdeyn's bar, and set them up in a social services-owned house in his street, but when the girl simply steals a baby from the maternity ward, which only gets found by less retarded partner Jelle's doing after the police was called in, she's obviously fired and likely to be charged later. Kyra is now practicing phone-sex as naughty 'Truant' on the 'school sluts' website, even takes her friend's suggestion to overcome negative feelings by using cocaine, but anonymous client 'ET' logs out himself- it's Jens, whose use of police time and computer nearly gets him transferred by precinct boss Max.

At a reception Lotte bumps in, first time since childhood, to her far niece Alexandra, who invites her to assist the next day at her low-key wedding to Bert Tanghe. Lotte takes them to Jasper and convinces him to throw a surprise reception for the couple, although they told her they planned the honeymoon straight after the city hall ceremony. Jens "E.T." returns to the cyber sex-site, but only to talk innocently. Alas his superiors discover and forbid his police computer use. When he goes to see Kira, she brushes him off because she has another- E.T.!

'Truant School-slut' Kira was stood up at the date with Jens alias "E.T.", sniffs cocaine and refuses to chat with him anymore; worried sick, Jens convinces Leen to open her hotel door, but she's gone. Mayor Peter Dehaene weds Alexandra and Bert, Jasper and Lotte bring them blindfolded to the surprise party, where Jokke is DJ. Jasper felt neglected, but now Lotte agrees to move in with him. Jean-Paul is back home but wants his work-load reduced, so snake-wife Kathleen takes over the management of pub-hotel Den Anker, which never made a quarterly profit because of excessive expenses; Leen is defensive and ruins Jokke's wise attempt to compromise, publicly embarrassing her sweet lover; they make up in bed. Internet porn colleague Sanne was all understanding for Kira, but breaks off all contact learning her beau is a cop, yet the site's boss makes her call him to make an appointment in the marina, where he goes lie in waiting, but Jens was warned where she is by phone...

Alexandra enjoys her honeymoon, but at a desolate picnic husband Bert snaps her head and stages a car ravine accident. Amateur cyclist Alain revives Frank's taste for bike-strolling; Nelly gets him an outfit, waxes his legs to his agony and pushes his macho pride to join the younger team, above his abilities. Tender happiness between Jasper and Lote is disturbed by the news from France, Bert's 'sister' asks them along to his sickbed to arrange her funeral. Jokke hesitates to accept Kathleen's offer to take care of her two Arabian race horses, with a pay increase; Leen tries to make him or Jean-Paul pull the plug, claiming it's too much temptation given his track-gambling past.

Pub Den Anker becomes the center of intrigue. Jean-Paul is s furious about Leen's insolent decision to sponsor local cycling club De Stampers, which is fun but atrociously slow -Dr. Frank being worst of all-, that he not only cancels that deal but instead sponsors their rivals, Het Groot Verzet. Kathleen stirs Jokke to accept becoming manager of the pub instead of her horse trainer, which would be taking the job of his bossy wife Leen, and shares his bed intimately. Leen strikes back, convincing former cycling champion Roger De Vlaeminck to become the Stampers's coach, so they could win the annual local competition and is eager to accept Arne's proposal to buy the pub from Derdeyn, without really consulting Jokke, who hates being its manager from experience. Meanwhile the family doubts Bert's grief for Alexandra as he has her cremated without any ceremony and rushes straight afterward to the notary; Jasper feels neglected by Lotte and makes Bert understand he and his house-mate Jens are getting tired of the guest. Bert tells his 'sister' Brit -supposedly in Johannesburg- he thinks he can get sweet, naive heiress Lotte to marry him and inherit some Derdeyn money, if only he can drive her away from Jasper- by coincidence they are seen taking and kissing by Lotte's already suspicious mother...

Jean-Paul heard about Kathleen kissing Jokke. Arne convinces Jokke to co-invest with him and Leen if the pub is for sale. Lotte's ma Karen tells incredulous Max about non-mourning Bert kissing his 'sister' and suspicion Alexandra's death wasn't just an accident. Roger De Vlaeminck's training scheme daunts senior Frank, yet max is the one not selected for the race quintet. Bert's dirty martyr game convinces Lotte, now his cask is already removed she throws a party, where neglected Jasper sweetly proposes- and is publicly left on bended knee, later asks more time.
Wed, Jul 9, 2008
Derdeyn's 2,000,000 Euro asking price for pub Den Anker daunts Lien and Jokke -secretly rooting for his lover Kathleen- but Arne is prepared to lend them what they need on top of his investment half. Jasper sweetly forgives Lotte after breakfast on bed, but snake Bert pulls another seduction trick: he just bought a yacht, which she may help him baptize the Alexandra. Celebrity trainer Roger hands the cycling team captainship to Frank, who actually only performs thanks to secret self-injections. Kathleen suggests to Jean-Paul to sell the pub to her; however there's another hole in Lien's plan: Julia, whose free board and small pay would be cut off to save on expenses, gets Jen-Paul's promise her position won't be touched in case of a sale.
Mon, Jul 14, 2008
Con-artist Bert sumptuously has his just-bought yacht baptized 'Alexandra' and manages to get an ever better grip on Lotte, who waves her ma Karen's objection such a party is hardly fitting for a husband in morning, and invites his potential next prey to join him on the though trans-continental rally 'Paris-Dakar', which would mean weeks alone in the wilderness, where accidents are common, and away from her side-tracked fiancé Jasper.
