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.
