The interior of the restaurant has been renewed and Karel has already invited a journalist to visit and write about the new look, only the chairs haven't arrived yet.
Irma's birthday is coming up. She doesn't want to wake up alone on that day and goes after an unwilling Frits. Meanwhile, Karel wants to have something vegetarian on the menu.
Karel hardly gets any sleep lately and Lucien feels he needs a hobby. That evening, a customer offers Frits to buy a boat. Meanwhile, Karel's father Gerard thinks his days are numbered. Dirkje offers to support him during his final days.
Annoyed by a man in the restaurant who can't stop crying, Karel sends him to the kitchen. There, the man tells Lucien and Dirkje he has doubts about his sexuality and wants to be with a man to see if he might be gay.
Dirkje has dreams that not only haunt her nights, but also make her afraid of going for a shower. The worst part about them however, is that Frits is in them. Meanwhile, Lucien wants an aquarium in the restaurant.
A stone has been thrown through the window of the restaurant by some hooligans. Karel's initial anger towards everything regarding soccer turns to interest when he sees an opportunity to promote the restaurant.
Do you know the one about the two right-wing men who walk in a restaurant and then later on, a black man walks in the restaurants as well? Well, a growing ever more nervous Karel does.
Lucien feels depressed because he feels he might have chosen the wrong career path. Meanwhile, the restaurant is prepping for a French evening. Among the people who have reserved is a group of 13 who all stutter.
Karel has bought a computer for the restaurant. He enthusiastically tells the rest that this will save them quite a bit of time and paper. That is, if everything works the way it should.
