Loup and Bianca Take Their Relationship to the Next Level

In the masterclass, Loup is puzzled about Bianca's earlier attempts to sideline him. Gaspard reveals that her intentions were to sabotage his chances of winning an internship, given his impressive cooking skills.

Later, Marc and Anouk inform the students that they will be experimenting with various cooking techniques in groups. Gaspard, Coline, and Maxence focus on cooking under ashes, while Gary and Ninon work with hot stones, and Bianca and Loup tackle cooking over embers.

Bianca reconnects with Loup, who reassures her that past grievances are forgotten. They decide to collaborate for the task, earning praise from Marc and Anouk for their combined talent.

Meanwhile, Coline discovers that Gaspard has informed Maxence about her possession of a mobile phone. Maxence agrees to keep quiet on the condition that Coline lends him the phone for 15 minutes later that evening, which she consents to.

Afterward, Bianca and Ninon enjoy some time by a river, where they are later joined by Loup and Gary for a swim. Anouk soon interrupts their fun, asking them to return to camp for a debriefing. She lingers with Loup, inquiring about any developments between him and Bianca. He denies any significant change but admits they shared a kiss long ago, which he insists meant nothing.

However, Loup decides to seek out Bianca privately in the woods to clarify their situation. Bianca expresses her frustration over Loup's failure to remember something important she told him during a party, despite his otherwise excellent memory. Just as she begins to walk away, Loup catches up to her and kisses her again. The two end up spending the night together.

Tom and Julia Officially Define Their Relationship

Tom and Julia come to the realization that their secret affair has become common knowledge among their peers, yet it seems to elicit little concern from anyone.

Later, Julia meets Tom at the pop-up restaurant and suggests that they should stop being intimate now that the thrill of secrecy has faded. Tom agrees to this idea. Billie, who overhears their conversation, comments to her ex that this decision is quite unfortunate.

By the end of the day, Tom makes a public request for Julia to be his official casual partner, to which she happily agrees.

Teyssier Undermines the Students

At the Atelier, competition is fierce among Carla, Bérénice, Jim, and Maya, all vying for Anaïs's position at the Double A.

They present their dishes to Chef Jourdain and Teyssier, who finds all of their efforts lacking. Ultimately, he decides to assign the position to Hector, who, however, states that he needs some time to think it over.

Meanwhile, the students resolve to utilize their vacation to continue honing their skills and maintain their competitive edge.
