S2 E2:
1998: Paul has been going through withdrawal for a few weeks now, and he’s struggling. But he is determined to win the battle against his alcoholism, and he goes to Dr. Michelin for help. The doctor explains that he will only get through this process if he comes clean about his problems, especially to his family. Absolutely not! Paul wants at all costs to spare them the ordeal he is going through. PRESENT : Maud is nauseous and on edge. Today, her mother is coming to visit and everything has to be perfect! While Florence is there, Maud is contacted to replace a singer and perform that very evening… Florence immediately wants to help, but Maud cuts her off dryly. She wants her mother to refrain from giving her advice and stop coming to visit! Mathis and Agnes are facing an important behavioral problem with Rose. She has stopped washing herself and is wearing a stinky rapper’s wool hat that she refuses to take off. But they disagree on how to handle the problem. Mathis wants Agnes to let him handle the “situation”. He wants Rose to relax and trust them before he confronts the problem head-on. Michael is very nervous as he goes to meet Julie in the café of their youth, to talk things over with her… He is confident that he’ll be able to convince her to give him another chance. But as soon as he brings up their breakup, Julie runs off, hurt. Michael catches up with her in the street, and she finally lets him know just how much pain he inflicted on her… 1998 : Florence is tired of her estrangement from Paul. She wants their relationship to pick up again, so she organizes a “Paul-style” romantic surprise. But the surprise turns into a fiasco, because Paul, entrenched in the pain he is dealing with, can’t live up to her expectations. But Paul finally opens up to Florence about what he’s going through. He is even willing to talk (a little) about the darker parts of his life that he had kept secret until now. They “reconnect” and spend a “romantic” evening in the end, parked in front of their house like two teenagers in love. Paul is so happy he opened up to Florence that he decides to tell his children about his drinking problem. PRESENT : Mathis has finally handed the “Rose personal hygiene problem” over to Agnes, who discovers what the girl is hiding under her hat: stress-related alopecia. Agnes calms Rose down and gets her to wash. But Mathis messes up and indirectly lets on that he knows about her “secret”. The girl immediately clams up again. Michael, is determined more than ever to reconquer Julie’s heart. He is truly sincere and wants her to see that they were always meant for each other. But Julie rejects him again. Maud is about to walk onstage. She has a bad case of stage fright (she even threw up). But she launches into her song… and gains confidence… until she spots Tanguy, walking in with… Florence! She gets totally flustered. She manages to keep it together.
