More than two years after the extinction of District 31Luc Dionne still knows how to press the right keys on his computer keyboard as evidenced by the impactful mid-season finale of his new series Dumaswhich - relays Monday at 8 p.m.
Posted at 7:15 a.m.
The most curious have already watched this episode, online since Monday evening on Tou.tv Extra and whose last seconds take your breath away and your whistles. In terms of unexpected turnaround, this one will fuel several discussions during the holiday season, it is as obvious as the naivety of the good-natured millionaire François Dubuc (Jean Petitclerc), the husband of the resourceful escort Marjorie Cantin (Léa Girard Nadeau) .
At the same time as Dumasbut on TVA airwaves, The weapons also delivers punches directly to the stomach, including a particularly brutal one, which will propel the plot in an even more dangerous direction. Without giving anything away, let’s say that I would take the cigar out of the mouth of Colonel Allan Craig (François Papineau) to extinguish it in his forehead.
As for Dumas on Extra, the autumn finale of the soap opera The weapons was filed Monday on the digital service illico+, born from the merger between Club illico and the Vrai platform.
This Monday of the grand finals contains several deaths, this was to be expected. There is a bloody corpse in Dumas and several others in The weaponstwo rookie series from 2024 which have shone on our screens since September. Don’t panic, both productions will be back on air in January.
In Dumasthe biggest mystery concerns the rat reader Delphine Proulx (Catherine-Anne Toupin), a powerful woman with diffuse allegiances. Mistress of Intelco founder Jean Dumas (Gildor Roy), partner of the competing security firm Investcan, Delphine has been waltzing dangerously between her boss Pierre-Henri Cazal (Laurent Lucas) and her lover Jean Dumas for several years.
What is she looking for? Where does his loyalty lie?
It’s still confusing and volatile, even if the last episode reveals a crucial clue about the motivations of the enigmatic Delphine, who was kidnapped while leaving the private club where the gruff Jean Dumas runs a salon.
We agree that our Jean Dumas, his son Anthony (Jason Roy Léveillée) and his daughter Catherine (Jade Charbonneau) form the stupidest family trio in the history of Quebec television. Jean Dumas sometimes gives us a mini smile. Not his children, whose faces would surely split if they laughed from time to time. On this subject, the character of the young angry drug addict defended by Jade Charbonneau in Dumas looks a lot like the character of the angry, young drug addict that she portrays in WitchesVAT. It gets confusing for little air-filled heads like mine.

Scene taken from Dumas
At Intelco, we suspected that the perfect Éric Bonin (Vincent Leclerc), the most discreet and efficient of Jean Dumas’ employees, was hiding something unclear in his past. After 12 episodes, screenwriter Luc Dionne reveals juicy information about the former Éric Bonin, who seems less sympathetic, let’s say. Probably Sophie Lacoste (Marie-Lyne Joncas), an ex-police officer, will get a similar moment of revelation this winter.
As for Jean Dumas’ ex-wife, Stéphanie Guérin (Isabel Richer), who owns 40% of Intelco’s shares, she slips into the heart of the action thanks to a twist that made me scream in surprise in my living room. That’s from the great Luc Dionne. The author almost makes us look forward to the depressing month of January. Almost.
In The weapons at TVA, the recruits from Kanawata – go, Mick Vanier! – begin the ultimate test of their training: the obstacle course. Only the best soldiers will progress and the others will return to square one, which will lead to a heartbreaking scene.
The bulk of the story concerns Vasili Frolov (Gregory Hlady), the father of doctor Maria Frolova (Victoria Diamond), whom the army suspects of selling confidential information to Russian spies.
The hero of the series, Lieutenant-Colonel Louis-Philippe Savard (Vincent-Guillaume Otis), agrees to get his father-in-law Vasili out of trouble by involving the terrifying Colonel Craig in the maneuver, a mistake which will have disastrous consequences.
Because we now know that members of Project Whitestone, a top-secret paramilitary organization, operate like the Wagner Group for the Russian government. Whitestone’s mercenaries rule the roost and aim to kill.
The intimate relationship between police officer Kim Falardeau (Eve Landry) and warrant officer Wesley Augustin (Irdens Exantus) intensifies. But both have their minds elsewhere. Kim collects information on the suicide of her ex-lover, while Wesley has difficulty digesting the assassination of his brother Xavier (Rodney Alexandre) by his comrades in the elite commando JTF16.
Then, there is our infernal trio, quite a bit more toxic and violent than the trio of Dumasnamely Colonel Craig, Chief Warrant Officer Thomas Dallaire (Frédéric Millaire Zouvi) and Warrant Officer Jean-Moïse Caron (Jérémie Jacob). Purchase of polonium, sale of cocaine, shady relations with the Russian mafia, executions of colleagues in the middle of a military base, who will curb their destructive and evil momentum?
And, above all, who will snatch the #$%@? cigar from Craig’s lips?
