A new inhabitant of the nursing home is causing some excitement. Leonie and Hendrik are preparing a trip to France, which is not appreciated by directress Stelwagen.
Hendrik reflects on his diary and apologetically admits that he has been somewhat sad. He should be happy now that the Holidays are approaching, but it's hard to keep up appearances. The time has come to make new plans for another year.

Despite he celebrates his birthday, Hendrik is struggling with his affection for Eefje because he's not sure his feelings are mutual. An 'Omanido-society' trip to the beach seems to give him the opportunity to address this matter to Eefje.
