Synopsis[]

Evert waves Willemijn's domineering mother Adrianne's haughty objections to a re-marriage goodbye, as she believes it's even tackier than a divorce, but the idea of a prenuptial sticks in Willemyn's mind. Finding Tippi Wan breastfeeding Remy, Cheryl is furious enough to brave her threats and throw the au-pair out. She breaks Martin's heart by telling him that Tom is the father, so Dr. Rossi makes a house-call, but in vain. Claire makes him consider his own past and that Remy is still theirs, which sinks in just in time for Evert's rehearsal dinner speech. Tippi Wan prepares a sinister double revenge.

Plot[]

Willemijn is very nervous when she and Evert are at her mother's, announcing their second marriage. Just as she had expected, Adrienne unleashes all critics she can think off. She immediately points out their divorce was a joke. Evert is fed-up with Adrienne's seemingly perfect appearance and walks away. Adrienne then convinces the naive Willemijn to get married at prenuptial agreements. When Willemijn tells Evert about the prenup, and her statement of trusting him, though having learned from the "first time", Evert immediately feels offended and distrusted. Though Willemijn is afraid to disappoint her mother's wishes, she is not happy about it herself either. As their marriage preparations continue, with Willemijn baking her own wedding cake, she has to deal with a lot of stress. While getting dressed, along with her friends, Willemijn receives an inheritable necklace from her mother, which she doesn't get quite yet.

In secret, Cheryl, Anouk and Claire plan a singing performance at Willemijn's wedding. Reading Quote 500, Claire finds out Ernst has 198th place and saves the concerned page in her purse. When Merel finds it at the counter, she fears a renewed relationship of Ernst and her mother. Claire firmly avoids her questions as she is praising her daughter's wedding outfit, and tells her not to worry about Ernst. Though at the wedding, Ernst shows up.

Martin is devastated by his mother's loss, and tensions rise between Cheryl and Tippi, as the latter one now knows Cheryl's dirty secret. Cheryl

has plans to kick Tippi out on the street, but is forced to keep her in, as Tippi resolves in a blackmail and threatens to tell everyone about her secret, if she can't stay. When Cheryl walks in on Tippi breastfeeding Remy, she explodes. Cheryl is able to brave her threats, and finally comes clean to Martin. Martin now breaks down completely. Cheryl, losing her cool, brutally throws out Tippi and her stuff. After this, Cheryl is extremely desperate and Martin scolds at her in front of Willemijn, for being a lying, vicious whore. However, his biggest issue is Remy not being his biological son. Martin then goes to bed and lies down all day. Cheryl makes an appeal to dr. Rossi, to talk with him at a house-call, but all is in vain. As a last attempt, Cheryl sends Claire upstairs to deal with him. Claire takes a more firm hand with Martin, stating everyone knew about Tom being Remy's father all along, and also pointing he's not a saint himself either. At first, Martin orders Claire to go to hell. During the Lodewijckx's rehearsal dinner, Martin is absent at first, but then appears with Remy. He says he has accepted the facts, and will consider Remy as his very own son. Cheryl and Martin emotionally reconcile. Before the wedding, Martin and Cheryl hire a babysitter to watch Remy while they're gone.
