Friday, December 23 in Here it all begins…
After spending the night together in the food truck in Les Marais, Greg and Eliott are still enjoying their reunion at dawn. They have no desire to return to the real world. Eliott offers her boyfriend to spend the weekend aboard the food truck to offer his Christmas menu to the locals. He immediately accepts. This motivates him to return to the kitchen, provided that Eliott resumes his position as second.
The couple manage to get the food truck started and join the brigade an hour late. If Benoît expresses his dissatisfaction with this lack of professionalism, Greg dares to stand up to him. He takes his place as leader, imposes Eliott as second and leads his troops with enthusiasm.
An hour later, the chefs Delobel and Teyssier come to taste their menu to validate it. For the entrance, the students followed their recommendations. For the dish, they reviewed the whole recipe: stuffed and roasted turkey, stuffed with truffle butter on an idea by Eliott, accompanied by chestnuts, roasted pears and Sarladaise potatoes. As for the dessert, it is a very light frozen orange. After having tasted everything, the chefs validate the entire menu. Confident, Greg then asks Teyssier for permission to bring this menu to the area thanks to Eliott’s food truck during the Christmas weekend. The school principal agrees.
The guests gradually arrive at the Double A. Jasmine crosses the room to collect their impressions of the menu. Everyone is delighted, which Jude, who is on duty, confirms. Eliott then warns Jasmine that the sequel is ready to be sent. He takes the opportunity to discuss with Jude. He apologizes for how things ended between them and claims he never manipulated her. Jude retorts that he knows how to recognize a manipulator and that Eliott is not one. He adds that it was a question of timing, Eliott being still in love with Greg, and him, not ready to embark on a relationship. Eliott is reassured by his speech.
At the end of the service, the Christmas brigade is applauded by the Double A customers. Among them, Benoît and Delphine, very proud of their son. They also have big plans for him and plan to talk to him about it after Christmas.
Once their work is finished, Jasmine, Eliott and Greg join the Delobels, as well as Naël. They reunite for a photo, then toast to their success. Later, in the park of the Institute, Greg confides to Jasmine that he is going to propose to Eliott in marriage…
Before leaving for her riding lesson, Alicia tells her father that she wants to come and visit the Institut’s pop-up shop. Thomas replies that it’s not a good idea because he will be too busy with his work and will not be able to give him his time. Once Alicia has left, Salomé guesses that her companion prefers to avoid her two daughters crossing paths. He confirms it to her, then offers her to spend Christmas with him one-on-one. Salome is delighted.
Later, Kelly comes to lend a hand to Salomé at the pop-up store. Laetitia joins them to ask their opinion on her outfit for lunch: a very sexy red dress. She declares that she does not intend to let go of the affair with Thomas so easily.
During Christmas lunch, Salomé is on duty. She observes Thomas being an accomplice with Laetitia and Kelly. Seeing his girlfriend’s scowl, Thomas is embarrassed. At the same time, Alicia arrives at Double A because she forgot her keys. She compliments Salomé on her uniform, revealing in passing that she spends a lot of time with her father.
Faced with this information, Laetitia and Kelly are in shock. They soon discover the pot of roses. Thomas ends up confessing to them that he has been in a relationship with Salomé for a few weeks. Laetitia and Kelly then reproach the latter for not having said anything during all this time. By the way, Alicia learns that Kelly is her half-sister.
Even if Charlène complains about the bad atmosphere that reigns in the family because of the tensions between Lola and Philippe, she agrees to make an effort for the lunch planned with them and her mother at the Double A. Just before settling down at the table , Charlène receives a message from Louis, in which he tells her that he misses her. The young girl reads it, but does not answer it.
Shortly after, Clotilde and Joachim arrive at the Double A. Clotilde approaches the Teyssiers’ table to greet Constance. Philippe immediately puts his foot in the dish about the strange bond that unites Joachim and Lola, according to what he surprised the day before. As Lola slips away and Constance joins her, Joachim and Clotilde go back to their table. The technical director pretends not to understand Philippe’s allusions.
Outside, Lola reveals to Constance that she had a one-night stand with Joachim, without knowing that he was Clotilde’s companion. She admits to feeling locked in her couple without having the courage to leave. She doesn’t even know if she still loves her husband, but she is convinced that, in any case, he will never forgive her for having gone elsewhere.
As soon as his wife returns to the table, Philippe questions her about Joachim. Exhausted, Lola ends up declaring that she indeed cheated on him, with no regrets. Philippe gets up from the table to settle accounts with Joachim, who gets up in turn. At the same time, Emmanuel presents his traditional yule log to the guests of the restaurant. Seeing the scene, Axel intervenes between his father and Joachim to prevent them from fighting. Philippe then puts a right to his son. Emmanuel intervenes in turn, ordering his brother to leave the premises. On his way, Philippe knocks over his brother’s log on the ground.
On returning, Joachim explains to Clotilde that he reactivated his escort account after their breakup and that Lola contacted him via this site. He admits he didn’t know she was part of the Teyssier family. He also confesses to having slept with her, but promises Clotilde that he never stopped loving her. Nevertheless, the latter does not support his repeated lies and prefers to end him once and for all.
