The French cooking cup is launched
Solal and Ambre arrive together at the Institute. The young girl is increasingly worried about being unmasked by Malik because she really doesn’t want him to know the truth. After revealing very personal things to him when they chatted on the app, Ambre fears showing herself vulnerable in front of him when she doesn’t really know him. Solal and Ambre are then interrupted by Kelly, who accompanies them to the Double A locker room.
Inside, Ambre locks herself in a cabin to change. Kelly is about to go in to borrow an elastic band, but Ambre suddenly closes the door. Kelly realizes her mistake and apologizes. Leaving the cabin, Ambre explains that she still cannot accept her scar. Kelly comforts her and hugs her as Malik enters the locker room. He jokes about their girls hugging, which annoys Ambre. Malik is disappointed that she takes his joke so personally, he who thought they were finally friends. Ambre rejects him, then leaves the locker room. Malik wonders if he’s gone too far. Kelly explains that Ambre’s reaction has little to do with him.
During the service, Malik announces to Ambre and Kelly that he has just received a generous tip from a customer. To celebrate, he invites them for a drink. Ambre instead suggests that he continue to work seriously, then leaves to take care of a table of customers. Malik wonders if he should try to smooth things over with her. At the same time, Kelly receives a message on the school group: the Third Years and the young Master leaders are summoned to the amphitheater.
Everyone meets there. Myriel and Landiras announce that the pre-selections for the French Cuisine Cup will take place at the Institute within two weeks. Usually, this cooking competition is reserved for professionals, but this time the organizers, including chef Landiras, have decided to extend the applications to students. They therefore risk being in competition with professional chefs in the region. Myriel and Landiras then explain that the volunteers will have to register in brigades of three with a chef, a sous-chef and a clerk to be chosen from among the First Years.
In the park, Jude immediately declares that he does not intend to enroll because he prefers to stay focused on his Masters. Kelly, on the contrary, is super motivated, especially since no woman has yet won the French cooking cup. But Lionel implies that she is not up to the task, particularly because she is still weakened by her experience with Lenglart.
At boarding school, Malik approaches Ambre to try to smooth things over. He sincerely wants to find a solution so that they can get along well. He suggests setting up a safeword: as soon as it starts to be heavy, Ambre will just have to say it for him to stop. Malik suggests the word door. Amber agrees to try putting this technique into practice.
After which, Ambre comes to see Kelly at her home to ask her to be her second for the French cooking cup. But Kelly admits that her boyfriend discouraged her from signing up. She doesn’t know how she will react if she is criticized. Amber motivates her and reminds her that nothing can stop them. Kelly ends up accepting.
The two young girls therefore go together to Myriel’s office to register. But the vice principal says that Lionel has already registered Kelly. She is touched by her boyfriend’s initiative. But she quickly becomes disillusioned when Myriel adds that he registered her as his sous-chef…
Teyssier has a mission for Jim and Jasmine
While having breakfast with Constance, Teyssier takes a call from the chef of Double A in Shanghai. The latter, who is facing bad reviews, asks for his help to redo his card.
Teyssier realizes that he has no other choice but to go there. Constance suggests sending Clotilde there instead. Teyssier, however, prefers to take care of it himself, but he has an idea to avoid spending too long on it.
At the studio, Teyssier tastes a dessert from Jim, inspired by one of his leaves in China. He also calls Jasmine to announce to the two students that he has an important mission to entrust to them. He arranges to meet them at the studio the next morning.
Later, Jasmine and Thibault make fun of Jim who takes himself very seriously and imagines that Teyssier is going to entrust him with a mission where Jasmine will only be there to assist him.
Rose is back at the Institute
Very invested in her new role as Master’s director, Olivia herself reminds the speakers who have canceled their visit to convince them to honor their commitment. Delighted with her efficiency, Antoine nevertheless warns her that her students risk deserting her classes to devote themselves to the French cooking cup.
The young Master chefs actually attend the meeting of Myriel and Landiras at the amphitheater, where they learn about the conditions of registration for the pre-selections for the French Cuisine Cup.
However, no one wants to register. Olivia is pleasantly surprised when they come to the Workshop to take her class. She then suggests that they work on a menu for less than 15 euros. At the end of the lesson, she encourages students who are lagging behind a little and congratulates those who take good initiatives. Salomé openly compliments the chef just as Rose arrives at the Atelier.
In the management office, Rose settles scores with Antoine. She takes her replacement very badly, especially because she learned about it from the students. Antoine is stunned by the reaction of his ex, whom he nevertheless considers to be at fault. But Rose defends herself, declaring that she does not intend to let this happen.
