One night, he must expel drunk American Alexander Brown after closing time.

"Alexis" arrives early at the café and visits the Metropole's flower shop for a boutonnière.

When Laura joins her father at their table, she asks Victor to attract some celebrities or royalty.

When Laura goes to the jail to see her Alexis, she is surprised to find an older man, who reveals that Victor is involved somehow.
