Unlike Paul, who seems willing to accept the new situation, Laure is furious and is determined to win Mathieu back. Consequently, they develop a plan: Paul and Laure will pretend to have fallen madly in love with each other. Thus they will arouse the jealousy of their adulterous halves. Paul, initially reluctant, ends up playing the game. Will Marianne and Matthew fall into the trap?
