Jasmine Faces Sabotage During the Competition

At the shared apartment, Jasmine is in a frantic search for her phone, which was stolen the previous day without her knowledge. With little time to spare, she must head to the championship. Before leaving, she gives final instructions to the babysitter watching Naël.

The contestants gather for the second challenge, where Chef Jourdain inspires his team with a motivational speech. The jury then outlines that each brigade must create a dish of their choice using local seafood. A unique aspect of this challenge is that each team member has 45 minutes to work on their dish before passing it to the next member, and they must decide their order of participation in advance, without the opportunity to communicate during the challenge.

Jasmine kicks off the competition and impresses everyone with her speed. However, her concentration falters when Naël arrives unexpectedly. The babysitter informs her that they received a message to visit her. Jasmine leaves her dish unattended as Louis permits her to step away to comfort her son.

Upon returning at the end of the challenge, Jasmine reveals to Louis that she has been sabotaged and that her phone was stolen. Igor reassures her, mentioning he managed to salvage her caramel after she left.

After tasting the dishes, the jury announces that the top spot goes to the brigade from the Institute, followed by Castelmont and the Bellia Academy. Just as Jasmine is about to explain her sabotage to the jury, Louis shows her that her phone is lying on the ground near Bianca's feet. Jasmine immediately confronts Bianca, accusing her of sabotage. Tensions escalate, leading to a physical altercation that requires Jim and Loup to intervene.

Later, Igor finds Bianca at the Coffee Shop and pretends to check on her to flirt. They share a kiss and decide to head back to the Institute together. However, they are caught by Cardone, who confronts Igor, accusing him of stealing Jasmine's phone for revenge, knowing that Louis had initially offered him a teaching position in Bordeaux. Despite the accusations, Igor promises not to repeat such behavior.

Denis Seeks to Please Andréa

At the Jourdain hotel, Denis decides to buy a gift for Andréa as a token of appreciation for helping him with his debts. Jeanne, however, warns him that his mother-in-law is notoriously hard to please.

Later, Denis overhears Coline and César discussing Dr. Von Der Stratten's crush on Andréa. Inspired, he plans a surprise dinner for Andréa with the doctor. Léonard and Ismaël caution him that she may not appreciate interference in her personal life.

Denis tries to prevent his mother-in-law from attending the dinner, but it's too late; Von Der Stratten arrives with a bouquet of flowers. Andréa chastises Denis for his meddling, while the doctor leaves feeling embarrassed.

Jude Prepares for Departure

As Enzo feels anxious about taking over the Comptoir, Jude reassures him that it will be a rewarding experience. He fondly recalls how he spent his best year there.

Enzo, Billie, and Thelma decide to throw a farewell party for Jude ahead of his departure this weekend. However, they soon realize that Jude is ready to leave sooner than expected and struggles to say goodbye.

They catch up with him at the Institute's entrance to wish him well. Enzo takes the opportunity to share the menu he has developed for the Comptoir, which he has decided to rename L’Annexe.
