However, their plan becomes complicated when Valmont begins to genuinely fall for Cécile, while simultaneously attempting to seduce Madame de Tourvel at the request of her confidante, Madame de Rosemonde. Meanwhile, Merteuil manipulates a young man named Danceny into writing love letters to Cécile, adding further intrigue to their scheme.
