- De vriend
E1De vriendKoen must prepare a poetry declamation for his mother's farmers wives union benefit; Betty coaches him in passion, Billy is inspired to demonstrate comical rhyme. Jeanne is startled to get the unexpected visit in the sweets shop of Gabriel, her first-ever lover, who just left hospital after a serious operation and sort of courts her, innocently but the others all suspect a danger for her fidelity to Jef, who first lays it cool but after valuable presents are given turns ruthlessly jealous. - Celle
E4CelleOne of Odilon's friendliest prisoners, master burglar Celle [short for Marcel in Dutch], is being released after ten years. Princess of naiveté Sam gets Jeanne to offer him temporary lodging in her room, yet everybody freakishly hides and locks everything of value away, even though Jef correctly points out a professional finds and cracks everything anyway. Jeanne has a small fortune in cash from the shop in a small metal box. Charles-Victor, who is most suspicious of all, barricades his room with triple padlocks, but ends up locking himself out just when he's in a big hurry to get to class to present his economics dissertation, which is thus about to become part of the course. - Geheimen
E5GeheimenSam's insomnia causes her to discover Koen's amorous despair- now his only girlfriend ever, Annemie, sits next to another boy in class, he considers to become a bridge bum, later to join the Foreign Legion. An emergency meeting in Betty's room first finds she has smuggled in her present lover, Roland, whose presence in underwear is explained to Jeanne by Billy as sleepwalking, then they start planning how to make Koen return to his studies. Jeanne is livid to be kept out of things "Me, a busybody? Where do they get it?", and her spy Odilon passes on the wrong end of the stick. Meanwhile Koen is cured by house medicines: not Charles-Victor's brutally honest truth, but a foxy dose of Betty and a night out with Billy- until Annemie stops by... - S van Snoephuisje
E6S van SnoephuisjeBehind his back, Jeanne has entered Jef for the TV game show Rad van Fortuin (Flemish version of Wheel of Fortune), which he usually aces in his armchair, but he's afraid to look a fool on national TV; Sam's plan to go play but flunk the preliminaries fails as he gets carried away. Now everybody trains him, in Charles-Victor's case most of all in making the best of the free publicity, by buying first the 'S of Snoephuisje' (Jeanne's sweets shop). Jeanne is excited and spends money as if Jef had already won a fortune.. - De baby
E7De babyJeanne was deeply disappointed by the city's annual carnival sales, but then the Viennese circus's director turns up, whose dromedary has eaten all its famous Viennese sweats, so he's about to place a humongous order in an old-fashioned shop just like hers. Sam drops in a surprise, which elates the girls as much as it fails to appeal to Jef and Charles-Victor: Jos, despite the boys name the baby daughter of her vague friend Willemeyn who is moving, which they 'may' babysit till evening, or as C-V predicts much longer so the irresponsible mother can be young again. He's certainly right about that evening... - Xylol
E8XylolJef and Jeanne give each-other the silent treatment because she wants his lice-infested plants removed; Odilon and the students try to mediate. Billy has an Adalucian girl-friend, so he learns Spanish instead of studying for his exams. To Charles-Victor's horror, Koen finds head-lice in his hair, which they try to kill with Jef's defective plant lice-insecticide, and soon the others find out. Billy panics when he finds he now has pubic lice- the stronger chemical Xylol which Betty brought from the college lab for C-V is now in multiple secretive demand and her use-instructions prove painfully incomplete... - Terug van weggeweest
E9Terug van weggeweestFlu makes Jeanne mute, for once, or according to the doctor it may be long-term if caused by a trauma, probably because honor student Charles-Victor moved out after another bad row with Jef. The doc sends his own cousin Karel, who has lots of attitude but no matching brains; he wrongly assumes to guess who everybody is 'at first sight' to fit his Uncle's descriptions, which quickly gets him enemies, not friends, and tells everybody what thy others don't tell them in their face, which starts several fights. The girls just wondered why they sort of missed the hated Charles-Victor when he sneaks in, hiding for Jef, who is doing all domestic chores (only Karel, who confuses him with Odilon, won't spare him some) while Odilon minds the sweets shop. Passively standing by while everybody fights is beyond Jeanne, so her voice returns... - Bloemen
E10BloemenJef and Odilon lie to Jeanne they'll put up wallpaper at Odilon's so they can go to a snooker match. Jeanne's complaints about the many white lies leads to a kitty which gets 100 Belgian francs (2.5 Euro) per lie- a costly arrangement, and not just for the students, while the truth can hurt more then lies... Flowers from a secret admirer are delivered daily for Betty by a cheerful kid who thinks Jeanne is the recipient, but there's a twist. Odilon surprises everyone by solving crosswords definitions even beyond Charles-Victor. Pranks escalate. - Pancreas
E12PancreasWorried about her mother's latest health problem, the pancreas, Jeanne asks Billy to explain medically. Jef and the students help Odilon rehearse the part of Dingemans the Strangler for the annual play in jail, a hopeless task for them and painful for him as the result of various misunderstandings and Sam's self-defense lessons to Betty. Billy is furious that his latest conquest Agnes learned what a party animal and lady killer he is from from fellow economics student Charles-Victor, so he seeks a sneaky revenge using Joop, a Dutch friend, to lure him to Amsterdam. - Antiek
E13AntiekAs her competitor sells home-made chocolate truffles, Jeanne decides to try to bake some herself, without a recipe. Jeanne commiserated with Jef's bad back after a long day of pruning, but not enough no spare him heavy lifting and carrying at home. Billy happily carries and sells their old table for a small price, but Charles-Victor says it was probably a Chippendale, worth more then tenfold. This starts the students on a treasure hunt among people's trash on the street, with C-V demonstrating his annoying but unfaltering antiques expertise, which costs Betty dearly, but also gets a nasty twist for him. - Teentje look
E14Teentje lookJeanne's dinner was generally enjoyed, until Odilon walks in, smelling heavily after the prison's garlic lunch. Completely out of character, Charles-Victor has fallen in love with the 'riper' librarian Annie. Having no experience in courting, he meticulously tries his hand at love letter-writing, and so accidentally gives poor freshman Koen the false impression that he is the object of domineering C-V's unwelcome affection. C-V takes man-eater Betty's cue to say it with flowers, but Jeanne thinks the plant -from Jef's greenhouse- he was preparing to offer Anie was for her, and a love-runner is hard to find. Jeanne decides to cure Odilon's unpopularity by garlic soup; when Betty arranges for Annie to drop by... - Waarzegster
E15WaarzegsterStupid Sam has bought a cheap bike at a police auction of unclaimed stolen goods, only to have it stolen the same day; tired of her noisy wining, Charles-Victor brings it back- or thought so, Sam has found the real one, that is what's left of it... Jeanne hosts former supermarket colleagues, who convince her the house has earth-rays, so she enlists 'clairvoyant' Maya, a blatant fraud who also practices parapsychology, tarot etcetera. Billy doesn't believe in such nonsense, but finds the girl too attractive to miss her séance... - Biefstuk
E16BiefstukCharles-Victor told his mother he's far too adult for a childish birthday party among family, but when he hears one is being prepared at Jeanne's, assuming it's for him, he's elated. In fact Jeanne, Betty and Sam plan a surprise party for Odilon's fiftieth birthday, but their obsessive secrecy leads to Billy believing it's for him (although not on his birth date), Jef believing Jeanne forgot about Odilon and planning one with Koen, and a further comedy of errors till the twist at the end. - Koentje's liefdesverdriet
E17Koentje's liefdesverdrietThe gang worries about sullen, who is totally depressed since the girl he secretly adores in classes prefers sitting next to a more outspoken lover. Koen considers becoming a bum or joining the Foreign Legion, so the mates resolve to let him taste the good student life instead, notably willing girls and a drinking and courting course form Billy. Meanwhile Betty's latest lover Roland, seen wondering about boxers-only, must be past off for a sleepwalker, yet arouses Jeanne's curiosity. When she finds out, Kone has to deal with more 'well-meant' meddling, which even changes course diametrically. - Hallucinaties
E18HallucinatiesAfter a month of exams, everyone is stressed out, not in the least 'mother-hen' Jeanne, worst Betty, who gets regular hallucinations of naked professors. The only one who thrives and laughs is Charles-Victor. Alas, when Sam is looking for 'patients' to try massage techniques on for her physiotherapy practice exam, no less then three boys, including C-V's younger brother Jean-François, who only came to drop off laundry, wander trough the house in divested state...
