Hollands Hoop - Season 2

Fokke has everything under control again. Under his leadership, the community is thriving once more. All he has to do now is set a good example: act normal. Don't stand out. Now he just needs to convince Machteld to come back to Hollands Hoop.

Fokke sends mixed signals after his fiery but deadly performance. To some, he's a hero; to others, a villain. To Sasha, he's neither; she demands leadership from him. Machteld sees Fokke struggling and finally makes a decision. Pepijn peddles his seed, with mixed success.

Fokke puts pressure on the farmers to keep Sasha happy, with an unintended side effect. In addition, feelings of guilt over his involvement in Matthias's death seem to be clouding his judgment. Machteld takes Liesbeth under her wing, as she is still struggling to cope with her husband's death. Pepijn's seed yields a pleasant surprise.

Fokke's paranoia is becoming a cause for concern. He wants to take action, but Machteld and Pepijn think he's seeing things. Liesbeth confronts Machteld and questions their friendship. Pepijn is impressed by Talia and not just by her story.

Just when Fokke thinks things can't get any worse, he makes a shocking discovery. Machteld goes to great lengths to mend her friendship with Liesbeth. Pepijn turns a blind eye to Talia's imperfections and lets himself be swept up in a new adventure. Lara prepares for her big night, but is interrupted.

For Fokke, the loss is the proverbial last straw, and madness takes over. Sasha's intervention ushers in a new status quo. Pepijn finally dares to trust Talia. He takes her to Hollands Hoop, where he finds things in complete disarray. Lara suspects that something is seriously wrong with her family.

When Fokke wakes up, his whole world is turned upside down. Machteld is struggling to cope with the betrayal and confides in Uwe. He comes up with a tried-and-true religious concept that she can relate to. Pepijn loses everything and returns to Hollands Hoop on Christmas Eve. The family is complete again. Lara observes her family and draws the only correct conclusion.

Fokke watches with regret as he sees the effect he has on Machteld. They debate how to proceed and each chooses their own path. Their methods may differ, but their goal is the same as long as they don't get in each other's way. Talia proposes a risky solution. Lara discovers that there's only one person who doesn't lie to her and decides to go her own way, with potentially fatal consequences.
