Marco is buried, leaving Conny emotionally numb, so Tessa takes charge. Noordermeer and Kamphuis continue their game and succeed in making De Graaf sign a bid likely to wreck them. Juup is back, slips Sjoukje a note to meet him secretly and sort of fake-kidnaps her to demand 1,000,000 Euro, even tries to cut off his own finger as 'proof'. Max can't liquidate that much, so he asks Emma, who insists to bring in two private detectives. They advice a set-up to kill the kidnapper, which Bas and in the end Max himself oppose. Iris decides to hide Marco is her baby's father by agreeing with enamored admirer Roland he'll act as such, without promising him love.
