At a high-society gathering someone is stabbed, and Ms. Fisher (Colette) immediately reasserts control, demanding a toast, ordering her bodyguard Martin to silence any witnesses and chastising her husband, threatening castration if he keeps partying. The attack leaves guests humiliated. Outside the formal show of strength, Marc and Timothy plot revenge: they plan to remove Colette's capable bodyguard and kill her so Marc can legally marry Kamila. The episode ends with the conspirators' vow accepted and Colette unaware that her protector has become their next target.
