At Marc-André's surprise birthday brunch, his friend François offers him a poisoned chalice: an interview for a job as a clerk so that he can come work with him, Evelyne and Patrick. Will Marc-André, who is unemployed and living in voluntary simplicity mode, return to work in an environment he had promised himself he would leave forever?

Just back from her maternity leave, Evelyne gets the promotion her boyfriend, François, was waiting for: she is the one who interviews Marc-André, who has finally decided to run. Will he dare sabotage his interview? The work situation between François and Evelyne creates friction in their group. While Patrick must assume responsibility for his decisions and manage his tense relationship with Marie-Michèle,

In the meantime, a huge challenge awaits Evelyne when the contract for Royale hardware stores falls through. However, their proposal was almost perfect... Vincent is still very enthusiastic about his app project. He convinces Stéphanie that it's a good idea. 

Evelyne puts her plan into action for the Royale hardware store contract. The agreement between Marc-André and Florence for the purchase of Luc's life insurance is discovered by Stéphanie. A strange dynamic develops between Marc-André and Dominique. Proud of her boyfriend – Vincent –, Stéphanie prepares a surprise party for him in a bar.

Will a reconciliation between François, Marc-André and Patrick be necessary? In the process of separating, Patrick makes huge compromises to protect the family nest. Will he be able to assert himself in his new reality as a couple? 

Taschereau, who is at the end of his career, must ensure his succession. Thanks to his general appreciation in the office, Patrick falls into the boss's sights and he is flattered, but is he really the only potential candidate?

François takes advantage of Taschereau's hospitalization to prove to him that he is ready to assist him, but his leadership is not unanimous. If Taschereau ends up bowing out, who will he have chosen to take over as CEO of Olstrom? With the pitfalls of the trial with Evelyne, the toxic relationship with his father and Ukave's deal, François is driven by the energy of despair.
