We see Sylvie this season as more of a boss and partner and less as Emily's opponent. After her dramatic departure from Savoir sees her take the staff with her, Sylvie struggles to get her new agency, Agence Grateau, off the ground, largely due to a noncompete clause she signed. But she didn't get to where she is now without some tricks up her sleeve, and after making it impossible for her former employer to sustain operations without her, she's back to her old stomping grounds with her name on the door this time around.
She explores her new relationship with Erik, who's uncomfortable with the idea of her still being married and close to her husband, Laurent. He leaves her during a party that Laurent accidentally shows up to, forcing Sylvie to wonder if it's worth giving her marriage another try. Before we know it, Laurent's commuting back and forth from Saint-Tropez and is already thinking of opening a club in Paris. While Sylvie's growing her company, however, it puts her in touch with some unsavory characters from her past, one of whom might be investing in Laurent's business.
