- Rousseau is still sickly from his unexpected bout with illness.
- Mama encourages him to go find a decent doctor in Montpellier, so Rousseau obliges.
- On the way, Rousseau meets up with two ladies: Mme de Columbier and Mme Larnage.
- Rousseau plays an age-old trick on them by giving a false name (you stay classy, Rousseau).
- To his new lady friends, Rousseau is M. Dudding.
- When the carriage carrying the whole gang stops at an inn, Mme Larnage takes the opportunity to seduce Rousseau.
- Rousseau's health takes a turn for the better after this little episode (imagine that).
- After dawdling around for a while in Montpellier, Rousseau returns home to Mama.
- Uh-oh: he's been replaced by a newer model. It's Rousseau 2.0.
- Rousseau's jealous, to state the obvious.
- He's also worried that this new beau is planning to make off with Mama's money.
