Season 1 Episode 15: We may not be able to use a microscope to figure out just what was going on between this family and their governess, but that doesn't mean a microscope won't come in handy eventually. This is the tale of the Duke and Duchess de Choiseul-Praslin; their governess, Henriette Deluzy; and forensic expert Auguste Tardieu.
