In season 4, part 1, Sylvie exposes Louis de Leon, a ruthless businessman and head of luxury fashion conglomerate JVMA, for his problematic behavior and sexual harrassment in the workplace.

"I was really happy that we were getting into this little revenge moment for Sylvie," Leroy-Beaulieu tells PEOPLE. "I was excited that [creator Darren Star] had this idea of writing about this because it's an important message."

Now that Sylvie has conquered this demon, the actress says she hopes her character will have the opportunity to become "more complex, more complex, more complex."

"Darren is so surprising. Every time people ask me that, I'm like, 'Oh, well I can hope for whatever, but he's going to always surprise us,'" she explains. "So what I like is that he's going towards layering even more and more. So I'm really happy about that. That's all I want."

The fourth installment of the series picks up after the “dramatic events of Camille (Camille Razat) and Gabriel’s (Lucas Bravo) misbegotten wedding,” according to an official synopsis.
