Ep 2. Episode 2
It is Paris in 1897, and the city is reeling from the events of the previous episode. Blanche's plans to escape with her lover -- and evade her abusive husband -- have gone horribly wrong. Instead, a horrific fire has broken out at a charity bazaar, trapping hundreds of people inside. The episode opens with the aftermath of the disaster, as Blanche and her friends search frantically for loved ones amid the chaos.
As the dust settles, it becomes clear that the fire was no accident. Blanche enlists the help of journalist Adrienne and attorney Alice to uncover the truth. Their investigation leads them to the shady businessman who organized the bazaar, and they begin to suspect that he may have had a hand in starting the blaze.
Meanwhile, Adrienne receives a surprising visit from her estranged husband, who wants to reconcile. Though she is torn, Adrienne ultimately decides to give him a second chance. But as they attempt to rebuild their relationship, both parties struggle with lingering doubts and insecurities.
Back at the bazaar, Jeanne faces her own personal demons while volunteering at the makeshift hospital. Torn between duty and desire, she is forced to confront the reality of her feelings for her male nurse colleague.
As the episode draws to a close, Blanche and her allies discover a shocking piece of evidence that ties the bazaar fire to a larger conspiracy. But with powerful forces working against them, the trio realizes that they will need all their wits and courage if they hope to unravel the truth and bring the responsible parties to justice.
