Armand, Reine-Marie, Claude, and Monique go over the information about the board of GHS Engineering. They’re surprised to find that the board is comprised of powerful politicians, minor royalty, and literary celebrities—but no scientists or engineers.
Jean-Guy takes a walk to clear his mind. He senses that he’s being followed, and nearly catches the man before the man runs away. Jean-Guy pursues him but can’t scale the wall the man so easily leaps over. The man is none other than Loiselle.
Armand abruptly ends the evening with Claude and Monique when he gets off the phone with Jean-Guy. Claude had promised to provide Annie with police protection. Claude leaves with Stephen’s laptop.
Armand and Reine-Marie go to Jean-Guy’s apartment. He tells them about the chase as Annie wakes up and joins the conversation. Jean-Guy shows them the original security footage revealing Claude sitting with Madame Roquebrune in the Hotel George V. Reine-Marie tells them about her conversation with Monique about the matching cologne Claude and Fontaine wear. They discuss how odd it is that Fontaine would have old records from World War II ready at hand so quickly, noting that she must have already been looking for something to hold over Stephen’s head.
