Now the students are stuck with lots of alcohol from the party, they intend to sell it in Jeanne's sweets shop after hours, as -illegal- night shop; Gentil is determined to stop this 'immoral' business. Tineke doubts Dieter's advice not to be too direct with Flemish lovers, such as her Johan. Lus' first contacts with customers as (day) salesgirl are disastrous: her honesty puts them off sweets altogether! Jef has bought new club vests at half price, and hopes this will give him enough popularity to unseat the club president, so Jeanne won't be able to refuse him ...

When Jef says Jeanne must choose between him and boarding student Gentil, Odilon suggests to call in a psychiatrist.

Tamara, the butcher's daughter, is pregnant, and rumor has it that someone at Jeanne's is the father.

Odilon advertises a free dog while Jef dreads to tell Jeanne he will be out even more often now the billiards club has elected him president.

Jefs new foreperson in Leuven's city greens department is, a first ever, a woman, Susanne Wouters. After his initial disgust he believes Dieter who tells him to turn that to his advantage and coaches him inventing excuses which a woman will endorse because they suggest his motive is to be an exemplary husband and (imaginary) father, bur they don't tell Jeanne. After Hugo and Lus pulled a few very childish word puns on Gnetil, he decides to take sweet revenge by making the dumbo believe he can stimulate his inferior brain by alternating freezing and hot baths and ...

When Madame Hulpiau announces there are two parts left in an amateur play- the lead, a seductive countess, and the 'pleasant to play' maid- Jeanne and Mimi immediately turn from best friends to rivals for the former part. Lus bought fake antique and a water-pipe, but had no idea that it's used these days for marijuana, so Dieter, Hugo and Tineke enlist an outsider, Dimitri, to make her believe they have filled it with that illegal drug, but it ends up hurting nearly everybody but Lus. Meanwhile Jeff is furious at Gerard for finding a sponsor who will reward the winner...

Hugo wants Tineke to pose for a contest lookalike of a computer game character, but she thinks he only wants to get her cloths of as he neglects to tell about the prize, a cruise, and knocks him a black eye, so he turns to Lus; Gentil steals the idea. Jef is happy at the start of his week off work, till Jeanne tells him his mother in law will visit the whole week; by the time she calls having found a better plant, he won't hear a bar and is thus left pointlessly fabricating excuses, notably the 'builders work' at the neighbors he and Odilon actually simulate ...

Jef is left to do urgent repairs in the shop during a long school holiday, and for once Odilon won't lift a finger since he believes a dream that this is the day he has a fatal accident; Jefs efforts to convince him otherwise only coast him more time. When Lus asks for a rent rebate because she eats less, Gentil demands a tariff recalculation per square meter as his room is the smallest, starting a whole series of selfish proposals and -especially from Hugo- attempts to dodge their financial drain.

When Dieter and Hugo dump a girl in Gentils room and find he pays her suspiciously little attention, but boasts about a perfect girl friend who studies abroad, Lus and Tineke make them bet to prove he has none, otherwise they must sleep together for a week. When Mrs. Hulpiau tells Jeanne she needs a gardener, she volunteers Jef- who hates the idea, but needs an assertivity course more then Odilon, who is taking one as prison officer, to refuse. Jeanne plans to hire someone illegally as shop sales assistant a few hours a week.

Dieter and Hugo return from a hell night as dirty as the pledge next door. Mrs. Hulpiau announces she's founding a committee against such 'debasing' practices; Jeanne feels that's excessive, but once offered the post of spokesperson embraces the program, and lays that law down in her student home-which all the students, except Gentil, consider a declaration of war, and mount an counteroffensive. Jef is practicing billiards behind Odilons back- international champion Raymond Ceulemans will play against him. Tineke is totally unprepared for her partial exams since she ...

The ultimate soccer Interland in the Benelux countries is the Belgian-Dutch Derby; now there is one, Dieter wins two tickets in a radio quiz, for which Gentil provided the correct answer, so each feels entitled to the valuable prize. Odilon offers Jeff to share two tickets he got for some cigarettes- from an inmate convicted for forgery! Jeff intends to switch the tickets, but just that night Dutch student Tineke's rich parents will visit, and Jeanne is preparing a diner 'at their level'- he still intends to sneak out, leaving Dillon to play him while dining with 'the...

The university asks everyone in the neighborhood to participate in a bacteriological study on the presence of staphylococci in Flemish kitchens. Originally Jeanne pretended Jeff was very sick to avoid it, but after Mimi said anyone not taking part will have a dirty reputation for life she makes med student Gentil, who was looking for an excuse to lock up Hugo during his bad cold, get her in. On her hypochondriac mothers advice, the house becomes practically quarantined, with an OR dress code. After Dieter tells Jef and Odilon that ninefold angling club champion ...

Odilon's diagnosis is inescapable: Jef's motorbike is beyond repair; now he refuses to go to work at all as long as Jeanne, who wants 'bargain' carpet first, refuses to buy a new one. Hugo's clarion playing is not only utterly unmusical, it's also so loud that Gentil can't stand it- when he tries to record it, Dieter and Hugo find his mike and blow straight into it, resulting in deafness and possible thrombosis- it soon turns out he pretends it to be far worse hen it is, so he can finally get Hugo's larger room. Odilon gets free use of one of his detainees' chopper, ...

It's exams time, so every student has a weird thing- Lus wears PJs, Tineke a bikini, Hugo tries to play the didgeridoo, while Gentil is irritated by all of them. After years of hopeless quiz defeats teaming up with Odilon, Jef has decided to switch to a certain Jos- Jeanne is furious about his disloyalty, and enlists the help of the students to train Odilon studying for their own simulated version of the quiz, which is based on recent newspapers. Tineke gets Gentil to bet he'll take off an item of clothing for each question -selected by him- Odilon gets right, and ...

When Gentil gets a phone call from home, he suddenly is dead-set to stay the weekend at Jeanne's, just when Jef was 'desperate for rest' by the sea; when he pretends to be afraid of his abusive father, she gets all protective, while Jef intends to sort of kill him with kindness. Meanwhile Odilon wants one of the students to give maths tutoring to his niece; when they see an attractive photograph, Dieter and Hugo both want the job, so Tineke advises Odilon to hold a solicitation interview; till she turns up. Another unexpected arrival is Gentil's mother...
