Without Fred, though, Nora wouldn’t be alive, and so Guillaume’s love could not exist without his murderous brother’s actions. In a sense, justice was served to Fred, and his brother avenges the death of his ex-girlfriend and the horrible consequences of the last decade. Guillaume, portrayed as a lamb throughout the series, delivers the final blow to his own brother, the man he desperately wanted to find. Guillaume, still being the only good guy (besides Daco) in this web, kills his own brother when he turns the gun on Ostertag. Ostertag, in love with her, ran to avenge her death, shooting Fred, though he got away after swimming from the scene.

Guillaume and Fred wait for their time to find Nora, whose phone they tracked.

Teenage Fred then learns that his friend Ostertag has been bullied by a kid from school, entrapping him with Kesler and proceeding to accidentally kill the boy with a rock to the head.
