Ransegem's interim mayor Carl Backx hopes to keep that post and the coalition, but his late predecessor Gaston Van Opstal's party claims the mayoral office and his own party's other alderman, banker Patrick De Groof, is furious when told his post was offered as compensation. Penniless, retired pro-cyclist Ludo grudgingly has to accept rescheduling their mortgage and running the new multi-purpose infrastructure, his bossy wife's dream. Retiring publican Tody digs up a time box he once buried with Gaston, and finds in it a letter stating only in-law Rene Van den Abeele is fit to succeed him as mayor.
