Der von der Königin verabscheute Kardinal de Rohan möchte Marie Antoinette treffen und Jeanne soll ihm dabei helfen. Jeanne versucht Oscar zu bestechen was allerdings erfolglos bleibt. Um noch mehr Geld zu erschwindeln, lässt Jeanne einen Liebesbrief der Königin an Rohan fälschen.

Oscar taucht unerwartet auf, doch Jeanne kann alles vor ihr verbergen.
Sleazy Cardinal Rohan tries to seek the Queen's favor but is hated by her to the point where she will not even talk to him. This is because he was a former Austrian ambassador who was fired by Empress Maria Theresa for his habit of fooling around with prostitutes. Rohan asks Jeanne for help. Oscar is visibly depressed by Fersen's leave, so she retreats with Andre and Rosalie to a beachside manor. Jeanne visits Oscar and tries to bribe her with gold, but she coldly refuses them, not trusting her. Jeanne lies to Rohan and says that she had accepted the bribe, and that their plan to use Oscar to get to the Queen had worked. She also pretends to be in love with him, and asks for 10,000 livres so she could meet with the Queen and introduce him to her, but she keeps the gold bribe and 10,000 livres for herself. She then lies to Rohan and tells him that she has met the Queen, forges a reply to a letter he wrote her, and asks for 50,000 more livres under the guise of donating it to the Queen.
