Claude leaves with the box of Stephen’s belongings. He, Armand, and Jean-Guy have an appointment for Alexander’s autopsy later that day. Reine-Marie, Jean-Guy, and Armand talk about the issue of Claude’s cologne. Jean-Guy proposes that it might be a popular scent here. Stressed, Reine-Marie excuses herself to do some shopping and Armand takes out Stephen’s agenda.
Reine-Marie goes to Le Bon Marché, an old and sophisticated department store, to check out the men’s colognes. Meanwhile, Jean-Guy and Armand look through Stephen’s agenda. They discover that he had met with Alexander, but that there were 4 hours unaccounted for between his afternoon ice cream and dinner with the family.
Armand and Jean-Guy discuss the possibility that Claude is involved in the murder of Alexander. Armand tells Jean-Guy two more suspicions against Claude. The first is that a stranger who would have killed Alexander for being in the way should not have hesitated to also kill Reine-Marie and Armand, but a friend like Claude would have spared them. Secondly, as Armand chased the sounds of footsteps from the apartment, he heard a phone ring just as Reine-Marie would have been calling Claude for help. Jean-Guy tells Armand that the only suspicious thing going on at work (relevant now that he knows Stephen is somehow deeply involved with Jean-Guy’s firm) was Séverine Arbour’s insistence that Jean-Guy review the Luxembourg project.
