Plot[]

Cheryl is fanatically working on the new perfume she's about to launch, "Cheryl no.5". At a glamorous photoshoot with Yari and a world-known photographer, Massimo, Martin causes annoyance with both Cheryl and Yari, by pushing himself in the picture. Cheryl's pictures turn out to be disastrous, but they are heavily retouched. Barry confronts Martin with the fact of him being not as popular as he used to be, and of losing his fame. Instead, Barry has been prioritising a twin-project. At dr. Rossi, Martin reveals his unhappiness about his relationship with Cheryl, his musical career and Barry. He says he feels betrayed by Barry, and explains how Cheryl is beautiful on the outside, but how she has an "ugly behaviour". When Cheryl is trying to present her "Cheryl no. 5", at the press conference with Yari, the reporters are only interested in the

Cheryl walks away in agony and drives off. Later, Roelien finds her crying in her car, and comforts her. Cheryl is touched by Roelien's sweet personality and apologizes for her nasty behaviour at the barbeque. She also tells Roelien she believes they could be great friends, which Roelien would like as well...however, Cheryl asks her if they can talk about that later.

It is finally revealed that Tippi-Wan had been writing a book about her life in het Gooi. She now publishes the book and the first print is already available at the Gooische bookstores, even before Cheryl and the others are aware. When Martin finds a copy in their mailbox, Cheryl is in shock and finds herself in a big crisis. Together with Anouk and Claire she desperately attempts to buy every first-print book at the bookstores, as they find out all off their dirty laundry is being revealed in the book. While burning them, tensions already rise as Cheryl and Anouk are now extremely suspicious towards Claire for having stolen the auction money from the Morero charity (back in season three). Furthermore, Anouk is revealed to be a sex-addictive artist, Martin and Cheryl are viciously referred to as both adulterous egoists and Claire as a kleptomaniac lawyer. Even Willemijn turns out to be in the book. The secret of Martin not being Remy's biological father is also revealed. Tv programms approach the Moreros for explanations. Claire's advice is to deny everything. At Roelien's barbeque, which is a disaster on itself, is even more ruined as the ladies turn on to each other about Tippi's book again. Everyone is now sure about Claire's charity theft, as Claire hasn't even proved otherwise. Anouk and Claire also think Cheryl has done immensely wrong by ignoring everything, instead of denying every rumor.

Ernst has moved back in with Claire. Claire wants to celebrate after having earned some cash from her, taken care by Evert, investment fund. However, Ernst doesn't understand her as he thinks of her profit as nothing, compared to the money he earns with his own investments himself. He then presents a highly profitable investment fund to her. After smelling lots of money, Claire desires to go along with it. She's extatic after Ernst earned her a load of cash and they make out in a bed, full of money. At dinner with Ernst' business partners, Claire shows her distrust about them and the legality of their investments.
