Tessa's 'rapist' ex Nacy is released early on parole and gets a retail shelve-stacker job. There she bumps into him and joins an ultra-feminist committee which persecutes former sex convicts. Only when his new life is wrecked and the bitches beat him to pulp absolutely unprovoked, Tessa remembers her real feelings for him, but he has already left town. Charlotte overrules Emma, who still stakes everything on buying up De Graaf, and starts negotiations to buy a wharf in nearby Delfzijl. But Emma gets the naive staff to oppose leaving Rotterdam and extorts Sofie's shares in exchange for cardiac surgery. Iris runs out of excuses to deny naively romantic fiancé Roland a dream marriage.
