In the fight for Thienpondt's succession, Persez's supporters deliberately hide the keys to Jomme's filing cabinet, so Verastenhoven must tell the director-general two files requested by the Minister are impossible to find. This gets even more embarrassing when he doesn't notice who stands behind him. Jomme was late because of the preparations for his son Adelbert's confirmation, who gets even more stressed when first his dad arrives (fat and talkative) then his hot-head brother Nest. Only Baconfoy, who still hopes for a business loan, helps Verastenhoven, who is too nervous to be appropriately appreciative.
