Balthazar Season 2 Episode 2 Derni?re demeure

Balthazar season 2 episode 2 titled "Dernière demeure" brings back the beloved forensic pathologist, Raphaël Balthazar (played by Tomer Sisley) and his team of investigators on yet another challenging case. The episode takes off from the aftermath of the previous one where Balthazar struggles with a family secret that threatens his relationship with his father.

The case of the week finds them working on the corpse of an old man, found in his home by real estate agent Marianne, who had come for a routine check on the would-be inhabitant. The man is identified as Alexandre Bournac and the initial report of the cause of death is a heart attack. However, things soon take a different turn when Balthazar, during the autopsy, finds out that the man's heart has been removed from his body. This gruesome twist in the story sets the investigators on a race against time to uncover the truth behind the heart extraction, before more lives are put in danger.

As the team delves deeper into the case, they discover that Alexandre was not an ordinary old man but a prominent surgeon, who had retired years ago. They also find out that he was in the early stages of dementia and had been living in isolation for some time. The only people he had contact with were his long-time housekeeper and his estranged daughter, Camille Bournac.

While investigating Camille, they discover that she was involved in a car accident recently and was being treated at the same hospital where her father had worked. This leads them to believe that there might be a connection between her accident and her father's gruesome murder.

As the investigation progresses, Balthazar and his team face several unexpected roadblocks and setbacks, including a major one where they lose a vital piece of evidence. This not only puts the case in jeopardy but also leads Balthazar to question his own abilities as a forensic pathologist. Amidst all this, he also has to deal with his complicated relationship with his father, who seems to be hiding something from him.

In "Dernière demeure," the focus is not only on the puzzling case but also on the internal struggles of the characters. The episode explores the dynamics between Balthazar and his team, especially with new recruit Hélène Bach, who is still trying to find her place in the group. It also sheds light on Balthazar's personal life, including his strained relationship with his father and his growing feelings for Police Chief Hélène.

Overall, Balthazar season 2 episode 2 is a gripping and thought-provoking episode that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. With its complex characters, intricate plot, and thematic depth, the show proves to be a must-watch for crime drama lovers.
