Architects Camiel Berns and Eric van Noord examine the former Hotel Central from 1911, part of the House of Representatives, during the renovation. Berns and Van Noord are determined to bring back the atmosphere of the past with a modern twist and show Splinter how they will do that. Color history researcher Judith Botan also hopes to restore the rooms in the former Ministry of Justice of the House of Representatives to their former glory and she tells Splinter about a special and very expensive wallpaper from that time. Splinter reminisces about the Binnenhof with VVD faction leader Ed Nijpels and Telegraaf journalist Sjuul Paradijs.
