Édouard Lemonnier, Alice's secretary, takes a child from his home and runs off with him in his car. Next day, thirty-eight-year-old Camille Courson is found dead, her neck broken. She is the mother of Théo, for whom a kidnapping alert has been activated. She was divorced from her husband, a lawyer who got the boy's custody alleging she suffered a mental illness. Autopsy reveals she was abused for years, presumably by her ex, but Max discovers the last phone calls were made by Lemonnier that will be accused of kidnapping and murder. Although she begins to have contractions, reaching the end of her pregnancy, Alice applies herself to solve the case of her secretary and friend.
