Making the Cut is a case featured in Criminal Case as the third case of City of Romance (Season 8) and the three-hundred fifty-fifth case overall. It takes place in the Fantasy district of Paris.

Plot

Upon receiving reports of a murder in the Chior workshop, Hugo and the player went there to collect the body of apprentice seamstress Béatrice Sanchez, who had been stabbed with scissors while trying on the wedding dress serving as the final look for the Chior's Fashion Week show.

Mid-investigation, Léa informed the team of the victim's address. Later, the team had to rush back to the victim's apartment after finding out that someone had broken in, which turned out to be gangster Antoine Macaron attempting to find a recording of illicit dealings that Béatrice claimed she had. The team then found enough evidence to arrest head seamstress Candy Wu for the murder.

Candy said that the night of the murder, she had gone back to the workshop to get her phone when she spotted Béatrice trying on and ripping apart the seams of the dress. Exhausted and enraged by her work being ruined, Candy stabbed Béatrice repeatedly. Judge Lebrun sentenced her to 15 years in prison.

Post-trial, Carrie and the player helped designer Charles Pilsnerfeld salvage the show by finding fabric for the replacement dress he was sewing and convincing model Noémie Leprince to model in the show. Meanwhile, Hugo and the player helped Enzo and High Commissioner Delacroix prepare for a welcome party the PPS was holding for Carrie and the player.

After all the events, the team attended the party, with Émile Bardot announcing he was joining a dating app. After the party, Carrie told the team that they needed to befriend Eleonora Macaron to find clues regarding her brother's whereabouts. The team then decided to attend the party held by the d'Anjou family in order to meet up with Eleonora.
