During a paragliding competition, a man is found dead. He is none other than Capucine’s ex-boyfriend who has just won first place.

In parallel, the team is preparing to participate in a bike race for an association. Commissioner Cassandre risks slowing down her team and Lieutenant Maleva learns of her pregnancy.
