Mya’s family is being bullied by the rat landlord. Mya is mad that he’s not spending any time with her. And Monet’s cat has closed many of the access points to Giverney, making Musnet’s life harder.

He gives him an ultimatum: classical, or impressionism, but not both. He also breaks Musnet’s brush. Rémi is not well, however, and Musnet soon discovers that the old master is dying ...
