The Shooter Gears Up for Action
Inside the police station, prosecutor Picard collaborates with Commissioner Becker’s team to delve deeper into the ongoing investigation. Although there are several indicators that suggest Bernier may have had motives to harm Patrice Bienvenu, the investigators are wary of Bernier’s credibility. The two men have previously been involved in a pesticide scandal, both desperately trying to evade imprisonment. Consequently, prosecutor Picard instructs the team to bring Bernier in for further questioning to extract crucial admissions.
Élise and Alex enter the interrogation room, pressing Bernier for clarity. His secretive phone was tracked to the port of Sète, and the police are keen to uncover how he managed to bypass his electronic bracelet’s restrictions while under house arrest. Cornered, Bernier reluctantly reveals that he has discovered a method to disable the geolocation feature. He admits to traveling to Sète to meet a woman, whose identity he wishes to keep secret to protect her from potential repercussions. When Élise confronts him regarding threatening phone calls made to Patrice Bienvenu, Bernier vehemently denies any involvement in a murder attempt.
Later, Judge Laplace has a conversation with Bernier in his office. Although he cannot currently press charges, the judge reminds Bernier that he remains a primary suspect. Due to the breach of his judicial restrictions, Bernier will be presented to the liberty and detention judge who will determine his future.
Meanwhile, Élise meets Elodie at the farm. In an attempt to compensate for her recent absences, the police officer returns home early to enjoy a romantic evening with her partner.
As night descends upon Montpellier, the shooter readies his rifle. Who will fall victim to his next move?
Claire’s Determination to Assist Noura
The following morning, the principal of Gustave Flaubert high school and Claire call Stéphanie in to discuss her daughter Noura’s troubling health. Despite Stéphanie’s belief that Noura is fine, Claire strives to convey the seriousness of the situation. When Claire mentions the possibility of an eating disorder, Stéphanie’s temper flares, accusing the nurse of overstepping her bounds. She implies that Claire’s intentions are driven by her past relationship with Florent before storming out.
Claire attempts to reason with her, but her efforts are in vain. Stéphanie is convinced that Claire is trying to create problems due to her affair with Florent. Despite Claire’s reassurances and her inquiry about Noura’s eating habits, an irate Stéphanie demands to be left alone.
Meanwhile, Noura is in a dire state. Feeling faint, she steps off the tram to catch her breath.
Concerned for Noura, Claire finds herself at a loss for how to help. With the teenager in peril, she contemplates reaching out to the prosecutor, but the principal warns that they lack substantial evidence to confirm an eating disorder. This is a significant setback for Claire.
In another turn of events, Noura visits the doctor to renew her prescription. When she mentions experiencing numerous side effects from her medication, the doctor reassures her that this is expected, suggesting she will eventually adapt. After providing some guidance, he issues her a new prescription.
As the day comes to a close, Claire contacts Florent to update him on Noura’s situation. Although he is concerned about Noura’s health, he feels powerless to intervene due to his tumultuous breakup with Stéphanie. Understanding his predicament, Claire hastily ends the call as Dimitri arrives.
They head to the beach hut for dinner, and during their conversation, Claire shares her worries about Noura. With his past experience in running a private detective agency, Dimitri offers to help uncover any information that could contribute to saving Noura.
