Alice loses her virginity with Victor, and then learns he was responsible for the fire at the charity bazaar. Rose takes on the identity of Odette, helped by Thomas, who understands that his mother won't be coming back. Adrienne's plans to escape with her daughter are on shaky ground for lack of money.

Arrested by Hennion, Adrienne learns about her husband's dark past. Rose still refuses to have an abortion, which puts her and Mrs. Huchon in great danger of retribution from Henri de la Trémoille. Alice turns her back on Julien, determined to prove that Victor is innocent.

Rose pays a high price for her attempt to make it look like Henri de la Trémoille is the father of her child. Alice finds out that her father is going to be blamed for starting the fire at the charity bazaar, since he was the one who had the movie projector installed there. Adrienne investigates Eva's death, hoping to destroy her husband by revealing his crime.

Adrienne returns home with only one goal in mind: to convince her husband that she sincerely wants to make up and work things out. Henri de la Trémoille figures out that his "wife" had sex with him to try to legitimatize her bastard child. Alice risks everything to try to save Victor.

When Henri de La Trémoille catches Rose with Jean, the results are fatal. Alice, who has done everything she possibly could to try to save Victor from the guillotine, wallows in despair. Adrienne finds out that Hennion won't be showing up. Can she escape her husband's madness?
