While suspicions are rife about Mathias’s professional future; whether he will join the competition or set up his own agency, Andréa is completely overwhelmed by her new responsibilities as CEO of ASK. She no longer has the time to spend on her client actors as scrupulously as in the past and finds herself lying to Charlotte Gainsbourg about a project that she has not read. When she realizes that the script is very bad, it is too late: her actress has already said yes and Andréa must then at all costs find a way out for Charlotte and the fact that the director of the film is her best friend is not going to make things easier for her.

While Camille must face Mathias for the adaptation rights to the biggest literary success of the year, Gabriel must convince Sandrine Kimberlain not to jeopardize her career by going into stand-up comedy. Unable to tell her too directly that she does not excel in this discipline, he tries to bring her delicately to reason by calling on Muriel Robin to explain the harshness of a life as a comedian. Unfortunately for the agent, these detours prove ineffective and he sees the first one-woman appearance of his actress approaching more and more riskily.
