The start of the relationship between Marc and Bieke. Basically, Herman Verbruggen joins the band in this episode. Oscar as an antagonist rather than Dimitri or Boma (who already represented the role in the first season). It was refreshing for once.
With Goossens's departure at the end of the season they didn't need his character to accept Marc and they opted for Bieke's father Oscar to hate his guts. Genius idea there as it worked beautifully. He doesn't like Marc for who he is. That much is palpable. The show used to be tougher and even dramatic. At that time, I'm not 100% sure whether they knew Goossens would quit the show, whether everything was official.
Oscar awakens the hidden dark side of both Pico and Xavier. They thwart Marc, who seduces his daughter. She's enraged when she realizes Marc does everything with the best of intentions. "Shake, shake, Bieke on the rocks" Great moment from Pico and Xavier shaking the cocktail they made for Marc, who'll then cover Bieke with it as he opens the can. Really, this interplay between Johny Voners, Walter Michiels and Herman Verbruggen was promising. Great stuff. It's regrettable it could not last much longer than it did (Michiels dismissed off-season).
Dimitri telling Marc he should ignore women adding "I've been doing that all my life, haven't I?" Dimitri not caring and just being Dimitri. Doortje enters but Marc ignores her, like Dimitri said and Dimitri reacts dumbfounded when she tells him. Signs of future Marc. The naive Marc who believes everything others foretell him. He wasn't quite that at the start. They gave the viewer an appetizer with this moment. Bieke and Marc becoming a couple despite endeavours of Oscar to avoid it, is an iconic moment in the show's history. Fantastic episode.
