During the wedding reception—a boat trip on the Maas—the bride's father is murdered. It soon becomes clear to Wolfs and Eva that the two families do not get along. And that the murderer must still be on board. The case affects Eva more deeply than she is willing to admit. With Joes' help, she makes a drastic decision.

After rudely arresting a man for mild verbal abuse, rookie Esmee is run over by a car and remains in coma. The culprit gets away and murders a squatting junkie, presumably just to cover his tracks. The only trace is a prepaid cellphone, but he's hard to identify for audio shopkeeper Jonkers. Romeo and partner are rudely kept away from Esmee's sickbed by her bitching mother, as as is her father, neighboring city cop Serge van Rooy, who was finally getting to know her.
