François agrees to accompany Daniel and Serge for a school outing to an archaeological site in Montreal; meanwhile, Mélanie goes to a decoration shop with Karol-Ann.

Melanie is furious when the house is rocked by a nearby shale gas exploration well; she scolds the mayor about it; François has to go to the hospital urgently with Jocelyn who is showing signs of weakness.

Carole asks François to accompany Jocelyn for her 24-hour survivalist camp; she takes the opportunity to invite Mélanie on a mother-daughter trip to Montreal, but she also has other plans in mind.
