 On Christmas Eve Joep Stroop, who has been sent to the police station after attacking and severely injuring a detective and now desperately tries to get to his girlfriend who is delivering twins in the hospital, calls Maarten for help. Maarten has his colleagues help Joep, leaving to go to the hospital where his son has been admitted after drinking perfume. Nina does everything in her power to get Joep out after his first child dies due to birth complications, but cannot find the public prosecutor qualified to release him. Simone, getting lonely during the holiday, tries to arrange a Christmas diner which everybody appears to be unable to attend to, and promptly has sex with Hannah s visiting ex-husband.
