Astrid et Raphaëlle et Alexandra Ehle, "Oeil pour oeil" (Eye for an Eye), runtime 1:26:57

Formalin (2'28") is a brand of formaldehyde.
What starts off as the Astrid et Raphaelle theme (5'07") gets some added strings, and concludes with a few seconds of Alexandra Ehle-ish harpsichord.
The Brittany investigation (6'21") was in the Astrid et Raphaëlle Season 4 episode "L'Ankou."
A la bourre means 'late' OR 'in a rush,' so I'm going to assume passe a la bourre (11'51") means 'go by quickly.'
Gironde (15'44") is the department (province/county) where Bordeaux is located.
The Dune of Pilat (20'03") is the tallest sand dune in Europe, located on the Atlantic coast 30 miles southwest of Bordeaux. It is 500 meters x 2.7 km, and over 100 meters tall.
Examining a body, Alex notes injuries on les axelles, laines (24'00"). Aisselles is 'armpits,' but laines means 'wool,' I don't know what that means in this context. Maybe underarm hair? It's not clear so I'm omitting it.
Mathis Roussel's missing status is described as not a disparition inquiétant (disturbing disappearance) at 24'28", as well as earlier at 19'10". This is a specific law enforcement term for a suspected involuntary disappearance. There is an anthology series currently on France TV called Disparitions inquiétantes.
Charcot's disease (27'52") is of course Lou Gehrig's disease.
In the Tintin story "The Calculus Affair," a bandaid on Captain Haddock's nose (31'22") gets transferred among several people, but winds up back on Haddock. It's persistent.
The resort town of Arcachon (36'46") is on the bay of the same name, southwest of Bordeaux near the Dune of Pilat.
Telemark (34'00") is a type of Alpine/Nordic skiing that uses toe-only bindings. The rear foot balances, while the front foot turns.
'Stoichiometric' (40'46") means relating to the proportions of elements in a chemical reaction.
The combining word 'ischio-' (41'30") is from anatomy and refers to the hip joint.
Raph and Alex try to set up the quack doctor by posing as medical journalists. Suspicious, he looks up the comité de rédaction (43'52"), 'editorial board,' at the magazine's website. But reporters wouldn't be listed as part of the editorial board. Instead I'm putting 'masthead,' the term for a publication's staff list.
Vie Junior (43'59"), Junior Life, must refer to Science & Vie Junior, a real science magazine for kids.
Alex comments that the quack is a first-class crook, and Raph replies, Platons, ouais, 'Yeah, Platonic' (45'13")-- Platonic in the sense of being a perfect example of something. Thus 'epitome.'
When Raph says that engineers are Cartesian (46'00") she probably means Cartesian Logic, in which knowledge is gained by questioning assumptions.
Bungalow (48'52") would appear to mean something more cabin-like than much-sought-after 3 bed/2 bath/Arts & Crafts era homes in America-- judging by the holiday camp (British term) where Raph and Alex end up down memory lane.
I was disappointed we didn't get to see the "hospitable coypu/nutria" (49'11"), which I was hoping would be a cartoon mascot.
Veilleuse (58'18") means 'nightlight' or 'pilot light,' but it can also mean 'softly.' Here I have Antoine telling Alex to 'turn it down.'
Astrid, Raph, and Antoine find a copy of Oedipus Rex in the victim's safe. It sounds like Raph comments Ton m'a que (59'54") or Tellement que or maybe T'as maque ('You told me' or 'so much that' or 'Your man'). Ton m'a que makes some sense in this context, she might mean 'I've been told/heard of him.'
75'07", 36" & 59": Eye pun!
When Alex's mobile rings (76'18") it's not her usual siren ringtone.
In this charming collaboration, the Parisian investigators travel to Bordeaux to pick up an eyeball from Alexandra Ehle. It's a stripped-down affair focusing on the three leads (Antoine and Dr Fournier are the only regular supporting cast members who appear—why oh why couldn't they have found something for Pincé to do?). They all hit it off, eventually, and Raph and Alex discover they have childhood experiences in common.
"Oeil pour oeil" took me a little longer than usual because the internet service on my street has been down several times due to winter storms.
NOTES
(L-R) Julie Depardieu as Alex, Bernard Yerlès as Antoine, Jean-Pierre Hebrard (as the prosecutor), Lola Dewaere as Raphaëlle, and Sara Mortensen as Astrid
