A Better Life Preview: Episode Summary for Thursday, August 11, 2022 [SPOILERS]

Prosecutor Revell replaces Baptiste because he let go of the gunman despite the warning. The fire colonel reminds him that he is talking to a fireman who does not have the prerogative to call anyone.

He also congratulates Baptiste for preferring to put out the source of the fire rather than arresting the suspect. They still manage to get information because they already know that the burned athlete is a female athlete who has technical skills because she used time traps to start the fire.

Meanwhile, Claude Rochat, Sabrina, Barbara, Emma and Kevin say their last goodbyes to Cesar. The young man’s memories rise to the surface. Rochat then throws his nephew’s ashes into the sea.

After this touching tribute, Emma invites Barbara home. They reminisce about their time with Caesar. Baptiste’s companion wonders if Caesar were alive, if he loved her.

At the police station, Patrick Nebut questions Fleur about her involvement in the fires, but the young woman claims her innocence. Patrick informs him that the science police took samples from his hands and clothes and that they will know the truth very soon.

Unfortunately, the results of the analyzes confirm the innocence of the young woman. But Patrick is convinced that the sect is the source of the fire.

Returning to Olivier Jourdan, Fleur tells him about the interrogation and also explains Commander Nebut’s theories to him. Olivier Jourdan then asks her if she thinks the young woman is responsible for the fires. Just then Guru goes to the next room to look for the box. Inside is a small notebook that he burns.

In Mistral, Mathis doesn’t want to eat and asks his father. Frustrated, Emma calls Baptiste to tell their son why he isn’t there. He puts it on speaker. The young woman then overhears her husband telling Mathis that they don’t love each other anymore and that he has a new house. It hurts, Emma hangs up on him. A reaction that infuriates the young man, who is content to abandon him.

During the raid, Mirta and Father Luke come across a homeless man who asks them to share a room. The priest offers him coffee and sandwiches instead. But when she gets the food, a homeless man tries to take Myrta’s watch. Father Luke luckily manages to stop him.

Back at the hotel, the young man gives Nelson the book he asked for. The latter heard that Mirta was attacked and wonders how someone could attack such a sensitive and kind woman like her. Father Luke adds that he is bubbly and very generous. Nelson then points out Myrtle’s beauty.

Father Luke agrees with her, specifying that she is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. He also confides in her that Mirta worries about him as a man. After their paths crossed, his feelings only grew. For Nelson, there is no doubt that he fell in love with her.

At the Mistral Bar, Yolande runs into Mirta, lost in thought. She tries to find out more about her mystery man. The sexagenarian then reveals to his friend that this man is younger than him. Yolande doesn’t see where the problem is and convinces Mirta to get out.

A few hours later, Mirta goes to the church to talk to Father Luke. The young man takes the opportunity to confide in her that he has feelings for her. He tells her that he has loved her since the day they met. An incredulous Myrta can’t bring herself to tell him that it’s mutual and leaves the church in a hurry.

Eric is nervous. After a fire hazard and a psychopathic neighbor, she now has to deal with Simon’s ex out of nowhere. Simon explains to the ex-cop that he couldn’t kick him out because he took over the farm, he helped a lot. They lived together for six months.

They were very different, but both were going through difficult times that brought them very close. While they are talking, Eric receives a cryptic text message informing him that his pest control package is available. She then explains to her boyfriend that she has to look for other firefighters in Marseille.

Back at the farm after picking up his package, Eric overhears Mark berating him for Simon. Simon’s ex-half calls him a nag who hits first and talks later. Eric offers to demonstrate to him.

A little later, the ex-cop shows Simon a gun he bought on the black market so that his companion can defend himself if Mallard comes and threatens them. But Simon hates violence and rebellion.
