The parliamentary crisis reaches a new peak and Amélie is more weakened than ever. Philippe sees the opportunity to persuade her to try the Left Alliance, but a national threat hardens her resolve, threatening her relationship with Philippe.
Philippe has been abandoned and is in big trouble. Amélie brings the socialist barons in line with an iron fist. Refusing the defeat, Philippe undertakes a wild counteroffensive, seeking out a leader able to defy Amélie.
While Cyril goes on the media circuit with a secular-focused political line, Amélie triumphs with Thorigny as her new Prime Minister. Facing unfair judgment, Philippe makes a last-ditch effort to meet the Secretary-General of the Élysée.
In a televised debate against the National Front leader, Philippe suggests a referendum on diversity in schools. Thorigny schemes to create a political movement that will challenge Amélie in the next presidential election.
