Synopsis

Fernand Mondego and Edmond Dantès/the Count are both dead. Five years later, a peace treaty with the Eastern Empire is finally being signed. Morrel returns to his beloved wife Valentine in Marseilles and plans to rebuild the Morrel trading business. Eugénie is now a world famous concert pianist and is returning to Paris. Haydée, now attended by the Count's former servants Bertuccio, Baptistin, and Ali and living on Janina, is preparing for her coronation. Benedetto and Caderousse are still at large. Peppo is now the top fashion model. A now widowed Mercédès visits the graves of both Fernand and Edmond in Marseilles. Albert, now using the name "Albert Herrera" and having rebuilt his life, also returns to Paris to visit his abandoned family home, where he finds an old letter written by Edmond to Mercédès showing the love he had for Mercédès before his betrayal and imprisonment, realizing that the Count has been with him his entire life-(this implies that the Count is actually Albert biological father). Later, at Franz's grave, Albert reminisces about the past five years and the lessons he has learned. The series ends as Albert rushes to the nearby church where he hears Eugénie playing the song that she had written for him.
