Fernand Mondego and Edmond Dantès are dead. Five years later, a peace treaty with the Eastern Empire is finally being signed. Morrel returns to his beloved Valentine in Marseilles and plans to rebuild the Morrel trading business. Eugénie is now a famous concert pianist and is returning to Paris. Haydée, now attended by the Count's former servants Bertuccio, Baptistin, and Ali and living on Janina, is preparing for her coronation. Benedetto and Caderousse are still at large. Peppo is now the top fashion model. Mercédès visits the graves of Fernand and Edmond in Marseilles. Albert, now using the name "Albert Herrera" and having rebuilt his life, also returns to Paris to visit his abandoned family home, where he finds an old letter written by Edmond to Mercédès showing the love he had for Mercédès before his betrayal and imprisonment. Later, at the grave of Franz, Albert reminisces about the past five years and the lessons he has learned. The episode ends as Albert rushes to the nearby church where he hears Eugénie playing the song she wrote for him.
