Marie finally returns to Notre-Dame just in time to help the town get back on the right road. Great interactions between the townsfolk prior to her arrival and afterwards - especially as folks begin to question their own beliefs and morals. A really enjoyable tale!

Marie, looking for understanding if not sympathy from the village, finds only turned backs. As the passing of her friend's mother reminds us, life is to be lived. To that end, she takes to Montreal to try to find a bit of what she's been missing and Notre Dame des Lacs is left to try to keep living their lives without her help. The importance of each individual in the continuing lives of everyone comes to the forefront as tensions grow due to lack of supplies.

The series continues to explore life in Notre Dame des Lacs as it revolves around Marie and Serge. Secrets are revealed and we see how they impact all those in the little village. And then, in desperation, Marie makes a misstep which will haunt her...
