- It's been a while since we checked in on Valancourt, so let's see how our guy is doing. Last time we saw him, he was all broken-hearted in Tholouse over Em.
- Well, he's found an interesting way to cope with heartbreak—namely, by partying it up in Paris with a certain Countess Lacleur.
- Ahem, Valancourt is spending a little more time at the Countess's parties than fulfilling his duties as a soldier.
- There's also a Marchioness Champfort who seems to be spending plenty of time with Emily's beau.
- Man, Valancourt is in some trouble. Let's hope he can make it through the temptations and hold out for Em.
