André steps in to deal with the fallout after his nephew Roland botches the handling of a toxic gas leak at a VALCO plant, endangering a nearby First Nation reserve. Katherine forces Danielle to deal with a former lover who has developed serious mental problems.

Danielle is wooed by a charming conman who sues her for breach of promise after she rejects him. Stéphanie is asked to return to her old dance company, much to Katherine's disappointment.

Stéphanie is seemingly kidnapped by an animal rights organization during her fashion show, but when the fake stunt turns real and André's efforts to pressure the French police fail, it's up to Stéphanie to engineer her own escape.
