Episode synopsis
After a confrontation with Marie in the dressing rooms of her theater, Sam is devastated. But she must quickly pull herself together, as Racing is facing yet another crisis: the club has been raided and is threatened with a takeover to avoid bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Fodé is unwittingly drawn into a political and activist stance that is beyond his control. Marie drops another bombshell: the legalization of civilian gun ownership. While such a prospect seems unthinkable at first glance, Sam sees the dangerous path a radical idea can take to become socially acceptable. Because in such a tense climate, anything becomes possible—especially the worst.
