Raoul questions why Roland married Jérôme Elmas instead of using simpler, secretive methods to expose him.

This episode is the second part and conclusion of 'La Cagliostro se venge', based on Maurice Leblanc's work. It opens with Raoul Daverny confronting Roland about her marriage to Jérôme Elmas, criticizing her for not using simpler methods to expose him as a thief. Raoul then shifts tone, congratulating Roland on marrying Félicien and offering them a villa in Nice as a wedding gift, with plans for Félicien to work on architectural projects. After they leave, Raoul reflects on his possible paternal connection to Félicien, son of Clarisse Dettig, and mocks Joséphine Balsamo for her failed revenge plot. The narrative jumps forward fifteen months: Raoul returns to France and settles on the Côte d'Azur, where he encounters Faustine in a Monte-Carlo casino. He accuses her of shooting Jérôme Elmas, deducing she waited for him after Roland exposed him. Faustine admits to the act, citing Corsican honor, and reveals she is now married to a rich Italian lord. Raoul then takes Faustine to the Villa Faustine near Nice, a property he named after her, as proof of his lingering feelings. They discuss their past hostility and regrets, with Faustine challenging him to prove his sincerity. The episode ends with them discovering a statue of Friné on the villa's terrace, and Faustine staying there for twelve weeks, leaving their future ambiguous.
