The Moreros then get a strange letter from their new neighbours, and they are being requested to keep down their loud voices. Meanwhile, Cheryl pays them a visit, and learn Carla and Floris Callewaert are uptight, intellectual people who are badly annoyed by the Moreros extravagance.

As a group of sexy whitheads show up at their house, Cheryl and Martin continue their fights about the p.a., and Cheryl is pleased when Evert's reference, Ilona de Vries, walks in the door. As Martin and Cheryl proceed their quarreling outside, they are encountered by Floris Callewaert. This time, he complains about Sinatra having done his needs in their yard, even having prove: Sinatra's shit. Martin yells at him for leaving them alone. Meanwhile, Yari turns grey mouse Ilona into a diva, and is therefore regaining his old self. As a last shot, we see Tippi Wan, who is now the Callewaert's au-pair.

Anouk taunts her for her problem could have been her death, if it wasn't for her and Tom being there. However, Claire thinks off Anouk as pathetic, as she was only at the hotel for a sex-date with Tom. Claire walks away, demanding to be left alone. Anouk calls Tom to meet her again at the hotel. There, they are interrupted by Cheryl, who wants to organize an "intervention", as a final attempt to save Claire. The whole group, including Merel and dr.
