Aired on November 14, 1979
During a visit to Paris, Antoinette and the Crown Prince face an assassination attempt thwarted by Lady Oscar. The assassin, Charles Colder, takes his own life with poison, while co-conspirators Duke Orleans and Duke Guemenee escape capture. Meanwhile, Jeanne, a destitute peasant girl, encounters the Marquise de Brandvillier. She convinces the noblewoman to take her into her household, resulting in Jeanne abandoning her family to join the Marquise. This episode highlights the political tensions surrounding the royal couple and introduces a new character whose humble origins contrast sharply with the aristocratic setting of the French court.
