Louis's Transformation

On Friday, July 31, at the internat, Igor approaches Bianca to discuss the possibility of meeting again. She agrees, but prefers to keep their relationship under wraps. As Igor leaves her room, he unexpectedly encounters Loup, who is checking in on Bianca. This leads to a heated exchange between Bianca and Loup, with Bianca asserting that he has no right to judge her relationship with Igor.

In the kitchen, Louis reassures Jasmine that there is no evidence Bianca attempted to sabotage her during the second challenge. He encourages her not to be shaken by the situation. However, noticing Jasmine's distress, Louis eventually reveals that she will secure her teaching position in Bordeaux regardless of her performance in the championship. Relieved, Jasmine hugs him in gratitude, but Rose witnesses the intimate moment.

Concerned, Rose confronts Louis about his relationship with Jasmine and is surprised to see his genuine concern for her well-being. Louis shares that he has been writing while in prison, including emails to his sisters that he never sent. Rose expresses a desire to read them, leading her to see Louis in a new light. Yet, when she discusses this with Clotilde, her sister remains skeptical, convinced that Louis is incapable of change.

Meanwhile, the kitchen brigade at the Institut practices their culinary skills. Jim and Milan, who believe Bianca is innocent regarding the sabotage incident, are finally ready to communicate more openly.

Later, Louis finds Jasmine playing with Naël in the park and gifts the little boy a set of wooden knives to inspire him to cook with his mother. After a cooking session together, Jasmine returns home with her son, later thanking Louis for creating a lovely experience. Louis admits he is indifferent about the championship; his only concern is Jasmine's happiness. Touched, Jasmine kisses him, and they end up spending the night together.

Tom's Struggles

At the Hôtel Jourdain, Tom takes over Noé's role as the pool supervisor, using the opportunity to flirt with guests. Unfortunately, his attempts fall flat, and he soon succumbs to heat exhaustion, fainting in front of Jeanne, who takes him home.

At his shared apartment, Tom receives a visit from Julia, who has come to spend the night with him. However, she quickly realizes he is unwell and rushes to the pharmacy to get medicine. Tom mistakenly thinks Julia is concerned about a romantic relationship, but she clarifies that she simply wants him to recover quickly so they can be intimate.

Andréa's New Interest

Back at the Hôtel Jourdain, Coline and César witness a touching moment as Dr. Von Der Stratten apologizes to Andréa for assuming she would accept a date with him. Meanwhile, Denis struggles to pen an apology letter to his mother-in-law, who Jeanne believes is not ready for a new relationship.

Unbeknownst to Jeanne, Andréa decides to join Von Der Stratten at a tango event held at the hotel, signaling a potential new chapter in her life.
