After this anonymous birth, the child welfare services contacts Jean who is given the responsibility of temporarily looking after Théo. In the meanwhile, the members of the Adoption Agency have the difficult task of finding him a home, and locate Alice, who is unable to have children of her own, and ready to finally welcome a child.
