Bianca Uncovers Louis and Jasmine's Affair

After spending the weekend with Louis at their shared apartment, Jasmine decides it’s best for them to stop their physical relationship, primarily due to concerns about what others might think. Louis, feeling disappointed, ultimately respects her decision.

At the workshop, Hector trains the brigade at the Institute, and they perform exceptionally well, earning a day off. However, Bianca opts to stay behind for extra practice on her caramel technique, with Ninon offering her assistance. As Loup passes by, he attempts to give Bianca some advice, but she rebuffs him. He then apologizes for commenting on her relationship with Igor before leaving. After his departure, Bianca confides in Ninon that her harshness towards Loup is a way to create distance from her true feelings for him.

While searching for lemons in the greenhouse for her recipe, Bianca unexpectedly overhears Louis and Jasmine discussing their situation. Upon noticing her, Louis confronts her, accusing her of eavesdropping and sabotaging Jasmine. He warns her not to share what she has heard with anyone.

Igor, observing the tension in their conversation, seizes the opportunity to invite Bianca for a drink later, but she suggests they meet in her room after their respective training sessions instead.

Meanwhile, Louis confides in Anouk about his genuine feelings for Jasmine, expressing uncertainty about whether she feels the same way. Anouk encourages him to confess his feelings, but Louis hesitates, believing that his affection is not reciprocated.

Later, at the dormitory, after spending the night with Blanca, Igor questions her about her argument with Louis. Blanca admits to having revealed that Louis was involved with Jasmine, leading Igor to suspect she might have secured her teaching position through that revelation. He starts plotting his revenge...

Léonard Questions His Relationship with His Father

In the park, Mélinée hangs out with Léonard and Coline. When Carla joins them, she finally admits to having placed a fake rat in Carla's locker at Castelmont. Léonard and Coline suggest that she should make amends with Carla by finding a gift to prevent retaliation.

Upon learning of Carla's admiration for chef Lecuyer, Mélinée arranges for Carla to join her team’s training session, with Léonard and Coline also participating.

At the end of the training, Léonard thanks Julie, who takes the opportunity to tell him that his father has been fabricating father-son outings because he genuinely desires to connect with Léonard. She assures him that his intentions are sincere.

Thelma Supports Enzo

In the kitchen, Enzo takes advantage of Thelma's presence to seek her input, which inspires him to come up with a unique recipe idea. Shortly after, Lionel enters the kitchen and, seeing Enzo and Thelma so comfortable together, begins to suspect they might be on a date.
