Fenna harbours a secret love for Jeroen, but he ignores her as he's with Anneke. However, when Anneke is killed, Fenna feels she's finally being recognised.

When Anneke's father puts all his efforts into finding the killer of his daughter, her mum, Dinie, yearns for someone who can empathise with her grief. She becomes obsessed with all sorts of conspiracy theories.

The mayor wishes to grant permanent status to the asylum seeker centre, a year after the murder. He aims to maintain the unity of the village like a good leader and is certain that the villagers will understand this after an informational meeting.

Jeroen made a promise to bring Anneke home safely. The guilt of failing to do so constantly plagues him and the media are aware of how to take advantage of this.

Evert continues to live his life without much suspicion for thirteen years after killing Anneke. The act slowly appears like a bad dream, but one that fades into the background.

Everything is not as it appears, including the supposedly happy marriage of Inge and Evert. When her husband is arrested for the rape and murder of Anneke, she senses that everyone believes she is complicit.
