 Jef thinks he can please Jeanne and himself by offering her the foreign holiday she wants since years- as long as she chooses from the collected European fishermen holidays, but she doesn t fall for it, worse: after a visit to her hypochondriac, now  incurable  mother she decrees they re going to Lourdes with her; his only hope of escape is convincing her Odilon would be too lonely. When Tineke tells about a party to schmooze on the university staff, where even a Health ministry chief of staff will be, Gentil suddenly decides to go with her- and asks Jeanne for turbo-dance lessons. Lus makes Dieter loose a chess game on purpose to convince Hugo of the magical powers of rocks, but even he sees that s just a fake business, and tries to sell some himself. Jef sees another way out, but Odilon has relevant information too...
