Barbara is making meatballs according to the recipe of Jack's mother Coby. However, when Jack reluctantly admits that he still thinks his mother's meatballs are the best, Barbara freaks out.
Jack is always complaining that Barbara takes too much time getting ready for a night out. He decides to make agreement with her: for the annual party at Jack's workplace, Barbara has to be ready on time. When Jack holds her to this agreement, he is going to wish he hadn't.
Jack and Barbara look back on their wedding day and the period surrounding that day. They find out it is nothing short of a miracle that they actually got married.
Barbara has had enough of Coby's meddling and writes her a letter. This seems like a bad idea to Jack and he tries everything in his power to intercept the letter.
Coby is surprised when she finds out that Barbara is giving sexual education lessons to Sterre. Sex is something you don't talk about. Soon, however, the only subject everyone is talking about is sex.
Barbara often gets extremely depressed during her period. In these times, she cannot stand it that Jack pretends that he is the one who suffers. And of course her parents-in-law choose Jack's side.
Barbara is convinced she already returned Coby's favorite tin cookie jar. When the jar appears in the Keizer household, Jack and Barbara try to return it without Coby noticing it.
