- Season 11

(2002)

After Filip insulted Hugos intelligence too grossly, Lucas advices him not to use his fists but to prove he can scam Filip; well, if Lucas thinks of something- he supposedly became highly intelligent by a microchip implant, to be proved be solving cryptograms and crosswords (by using the solutions in the next editions). Jeff doesn't dare tell Jeanne he's going to a fishing tournament, so he pretends his friend Oscar needs help with his vegetable garden; Jeanne sees an opportunity to sell his biological produce in her sweets shop, while Jef just gets them from the ...

The students bicker about how bad Dutch and Flemish words are understood by the other party; Tineke cheats by submitting piercing terms she got from the Internet, but slips out she has one, making it Hugo's next goal in life to see it, but where on her body? Jeanne wants to lose weight, but liposuction is expensive, dieting too hard; when Odilon overhears Tineke about a piercing but confounds the two, they think she can get a cheap operation at home from a specific piercing artist whom they pass on to Jef as a chiropractor...

Filip is furious when Lucas blabs to everyone he had a girlfriend, but there really is a female friend Colette, a dentistry student- Hugo met her at a party where he accidentally dumped a beer in her cleavage; in order for Hugo to give them space alone, Filip must get the lout several porn magazines- Odilon is subcontracted, but gets much more from prisoners then anyone bargained for. Jef has unwisely 'invested' all their savings on the stock exchange, but Jeanne thinks only half as she demanded, so now he must find another way to finance roof repairs- Odilon suggests...

Since Hugo failed to bring the two male poker partners he promised Lucas, cards virgins Tineke and Brigitte have a go but don't win a single hand; after bragging and nagging from the victors, the girls want a rematch, but Filip threatens to tell Jeanne they broke the rule not to play for money; they strip him and play strip poker instead. When they notice a leak in the roof, Odilon wants to repair it speedily, but Jef is too lazy; when Jeanne hears it from Odilon, he pretends Odilon has a dangerous neck injury, but Jeanne sees trough it and pretends a lumbago, so Jef ...

Jeanne looses all patience with Jefs priorities such as his plants and clubs, and is livid he also messes up the half house. Lucas suggests he finds her a suitable hobby of her own. Hugo realizes his efforts to win Tineke only scare her off, so he decides to ignore her and make her jealous by turning all his attention to Brigitte. Mimi has a murderous row with her husband Jos, so she's stuck with tickets for a Latin dance demonstration- Jef insists Jeanne goes with her, even if he must do the household meanwhile. She returns elated, and has signed her and Jef up for a...

When Jeanne has a nasty dream, she asks Tineke for a dream analysis - the absurd answer is Jef must have an illegitimate son; Jeanne is fed up with Jef's incompetent 'repairs', so she insists on a real electrician, but Jef argues passing him over will break Odilon's heart; so the men pass Odilon's new prison colleague Armand for a professional. Brigitte ignores Tineke4s advice to dump her boyfriend Evert who criticizes her cloths. After a mad bump and blowing off dust seemed to repair his radio, Hugo is convinced he'll make a fortune if he picks up all dumped ...

Filip is furious Hugo takes an eternity in bath; as a revenge, he plants an engraved golden fountain pen Tineke lost in Hugo's room, so he can show Jeanne his 'theft'. After another good laugh at the Dumbo's expense, the others help him to an alibi: pretending he has got kleptomania. Lucas advises Filip to commit a more serious theft, from a public works site, and blame Hugo for it, otherwise Jeanne may remain protective of Hugo; in fact he's setting up Filip... Hugo enjoys his part too much, stealing from everybody. Jef wants a new angling rod, but Jeanne feels they ...

Jef is furious because Odilon stands against him as candidate-president of the billiards club. His bitching makes 'traitor' Odilon refuse to continue repairing his TV set, but Jeanne refuses to let him go out till it is repaired. Hugo reneges on his promise to help Lucas and Brigitte moving in a friend of her's baby shop, because he prefers a date with Tineke, invoking the memory loss caused by 'post-traumatic stress syndrome' they read about in a trial report in the paper. As revenge they steal his boxers while he's sleeping off his hangover and make him believe he ...

Jef won the billiards clubs sweep-stake, but is determined not to tell Jeanne so he can squander his winnings on a long fishing trip on a rented boat, but Odilon was with him, and Jeanne hears from Mimi, so she expects a grand 'secret' gift; Brigitte finds her in tears as he seems bend not to spoil her, so they decide to 'inspire' him the spa visit she craves by planting a magazine with an article on one. When Odilon suggests it could be something else in the rag, Jef decides to pretend it could be horse riding lessons, as she's afraid of horses; of course Odilon ...

Odilon is heartbroken after the death of his goldfish Gaston; for once Jef and Jeanne agree: to take his mind off his sorrow, he needs more repair works. When the Holy Ghost 'peda' burns down, Filip is the only one who seems to approve of such old-fashioned disciplined Catholic student homes. Hugo thinks it's a girls-only dorm, so he convinces Jeanne to take in three of its homeless students. To Jefs horror, Jeanne concludes that Odilon is now more needed for domestic chores and tending to the shop, so Jef is left doing his own chalk work again, so he sabotages the ...

Jeanne is furious about the beer consumption, but none of the boys confesses drinking a lot. Hugo even gave up alcohol, hoping without a beer breath he has a shot at Tineke 'because she didn't scold him for days'. Alas Brigitte tells Hugo she has a relational therapist -in fact Tineke's boyfriend Piet, a political science student- who also wants to talk to him, puts him trough (fake) hypnotic regression and gets him depressed believing he was starved in his former life as a rabbit, and is incompatible with Tineke. Brigitte is worried Hugo is seriously depressed and ...
