Largo Winch

Nerio reappears in Largo's life, the apparent victim of a kidnapping. In the meantime, Joy and Largo are seeing each other a bit outside of Group W, and Largo is trying to convince Joy to come back to work for him. Simon meets up with Kerensky, and they end up having a shootout at an Asian restaurant. Kerensky comes back to work for Largo, and Simon apologizes for having suspected him of being the mole. Largo begins to realize that Nerio isn't really Nerio... and the trouble ensues. Jaeger comes to Joy's apartment (on the fake Nerio's orders) and takes her prisoner. She manages to alert Kerensky, and he comes to her rescue. Largo manages to foil Nerio's plans, and Nerio jumps down a ventilation shaft 64 floors up. Simon is made VP of International Relations (much to the shock of Cardignac!). Largo and Joy kiss in the penthouse, and are interrupted by Kerensky, who tells them that there was blood in the shaft, but no body... so Nerio's double could still be alive.

Crossley is the veterinarian at Group W's stallion farm in Versailles, North Dakota and is managing a program to breed champion horses through artificial insemination. Days before, Crossley had walked off with a vial of semen from a champion horse and a neighbouring rancher, who uses threats, blackmail and violence, is after it.

However, Largo is still jealous, and can't help but show it. While in Paris, Joy and her father reunite, but not without difficulty and some anger on Joy's part. Charles Arden assists them in finding the culprits who stole the laser-guided components, and Joy has to let go of some of her anger.

Buzzeti wants to conclude a partnership with Lucas Ramer, who doesn't co-operate. But when Largo invites him to a party for his new house, Ramer's mood begins to change for the better.
