De Zonen van Van As

Herman wants an end to the dodgy business with the second firm, even now the old firm risks going bust. Eddy ignores Frans and Dick's warning that his dodgy dealing can go very wrong, pressing his blackmail with Herman on Rafaël Kliefhout, but he already settled his tax irregularities. Zjang uses the firm to deliver his military hardware. Despite Frakke and Bambi's doubts, ex Belinda is hired as big vehicle driver so she can pay off debts.

Kevin is finally returning from overseas with buddy Tuur and a contraband coral gift for mother Rita, who is not amused that Herman believes the lawyer whom his dumb wife Martine promised access to the firm papers at a vague promise a bankruptcy can be delayed 'for years', which is no reason to call off the second firm plan, for which Frans and Dick still need their vote. Zjang panics when he learns foppish middleman William sold multiple rifles to oriental pitta-bar owner Dingbang Xu, presumably a Chinese mob front, and resolves to get it back before his army contraband trade is found out. A first deal attempt with Frakke isn't satisfactory, he even gets threatened at home, without having made his whereabouts known. Bambi isn't available, being drunk on a home-cooked dinner with benefits at Belinda's, but she volunteers, unaware she must serve as getaway driver before the police Zjang calls arrives at the site where he throws grenades.

Dick starts his term as new firm manager by switching his predecessor's portrait with his own in the HQ office, and when Herman protests loudly, plays a dirty trick on him. Dick delegates to sadly not briefed Kevin the bribing of mayor Jos Broeckx, so accomplice municipal official Victor Brepols is exposed, requiring a blackmail bluff. Frakke is poorly served by romantic encouragement from Zjang. Pol, Valere and part-time garage partner Bambi are easily tricked and robbed by gypsy slut customers.
