Désemparée, elle se rend à la gare et prend le premier train en partance pour le sud. Au wagon-restaurant, elle fait la connaissance de Patricia, accompagnée de son mari Bertrand Meyrand, fils aîné d'un riche viticulteur-négociant du Bordelais, qui s'apprête à présenter à sa famille sa jeune épouse, également enceinte. Patricia emmène Hélène, qui lui ressemble vaguement, dans son compartiment où elles bavardent. Quelques instants plus tard, le train déraille. Après l'accident, Hélène se réveille et comprend que la belle-famille de Patricia la prend pour elle. Perdue, sans famille, elle est prise au jeu de la belle-famille de Patricia qui veut prendre soin d'elle. Elle s'éprend vite de Pierre, le frère de son pseudo défunt mari et réciproquement, avec l'accord plus ou moins tacite des parents, Matthieu et Léna Meyrand. Mais alors qu'Hélène est désormais heureuse dans cette famille, Franck réapparaît et exerce un chantage. Franck informe la mère de Pierre de l'usurpation d'identité et elle fait une attaque. Au cours d'une dispute, sans réelle conviction meurtrière, Hélène tue Franck. Pierre dissimule le cadavre. En mourant, Léna pardonne à Hélène qu'elle aime énormément et endosse la responsabilité de l'homicide pour qu'Hélène et son fils vivent heureux.
