About this episode

They came from all walks of life, but they had one thing in common: a 46-year-old Casanova named Philippe Padieu who seemed to have it all. But while these women were all looking for love, he gave them something else: Padieu was HIV-positive. When one woman finds out about the others, she joins forces with them and together, they take a potential killer off the street.
