I think he was Elise’s husband’s son from another relationship. That is why he looked familiar to those who were from Paris who knew him.
Amanda Santiago
Omg yes! This is driving me crazy! Who was he!?? Did I miss something?
Linda
Because she was really Mathilde and she recognized him from her childhood, I think.
Helen

Jennie

Yes I’d like to know! I really thought there would be explanation.
Susan
I’m here looking for the same answer! Glad I’m not alone!
Laraine
This is driving me crazy!
Adrienne Moriarty

Melissa Noel

Sarah Whipps
I also came here hoping to find the answer to this...
