On Sunday, the Jeans follow a kidnapping- oops, an elopement. An ice hockey referee denies having hit a player causing a bloody nose in front of the crowd. The commissioner orders Tom to investigate the latest of 12 -usually frequent- deaths in a retirement home; autopsy confirms at least one was a result of poisoning by injection. The Antwerp Zoo director reports repeated vandalism, no break-in.

When Geertrui, a mother, is slashed in her home, Tom concentrates on her husband Renaat. He admits to have had an affair with office colleague Caroline, who went missing. Ruige reports his girlfriend Tess, the daughter of senator Verbesselt, has been missing for a week, but is shamelessly ignored as usual. Only after he finds out she has serious gambling debts, Tom takes an interest in what proves to be the major case.

After a car hits student Jochen while out on his bike, a jeep refuses to stop and help his fiancée, but films the incident, which is later posted on Internet. When Ruige Ronny attends Tess's funeral, two sinister men threaten him to pay her gambling debts. The brass's instructions to stay on duty during Jean's gay marriage with Rudy are almost cheerfully ignored, even by newbie Gert.
