Monday October 9 in Here it all begins…
Malik’s heart swings between Ambre and Kelly
At the Commissary, Ambre wants to speak with Malik because he left rather quickly after his revelation last Friday. The young man needed time to digest things. Ambre admits that she should have told him sooner that she was Ophélie, but explains that she was afraid of being vulnerable and that seeing him for real, he didn’t match the image she had of him on the app. Malik, on the other hand, feels really hurt that she hasn’t been sincere with him from the start.
In the locker room, Malik then meets Kelly. He tells her that he learned the truth about Amber. Kelly admits she knew it too. Malik needed to get to the bottom of this because he still thought Kelly was Ophelia. But even knowing the truth, Malik says he wants to be with her and not with Ambre.
At the Workshop, while Malik disappears to the Commissary, Kelly confronts Ambre about her sudden revelation. She would have liked her friend to warn her of her intentions beforehand because now she suspects her of having feelings for Malik and hoping that he would choose her. Amber claims the opposite. Lionel hears their conversation.
Landiras arrives at the Workshop. This is the final stretch before the pre-selections for the South region. Seeing Ambre and Malik inadvertently touching each other’s hands, Kelly moves away to collect herself. Lionel takes the opportunity to go see her, but she says she needs space. Returning to his post, Lionel cannot help but provoke Malik and Ambre with innuendoes about the nature of their relationship. While Livio defends Lionel, Kelly asks him to shut up. The tone rises between the two brigades to the point that Landiras is forced to intervene. He drags them all outside to solve their problems in another way.
In the park, Landiras orders them to mix up to play a dodge ball. Ambre, Malik and Livio therefore face Kelly, Souleymane and Lionel. The students play the game under the supervision of Landiras and the doubtful gaze of Myriel. Finally, the game degenerates when Lionel throws a dig at Kelly who responds by throwing the ball in his face. His gesture provokes a general fight. Landiras separates everyone.
Back at the Workshop, Lionel and Kelly continue to argue. Landiras then reminds them of the stakes of the French cooking competition and the honor of the Institute that they are supposed to represent. In view of their behavior, Landiras decides to disqualify them all. Amber is the first to admit her wrongs. Lionel and Kelly then do the same thing. Landiras therefore agrees to give them one last chance.
Later, Malik finds Ambre at the home. He thanks her for being honest with Landiras. Amber then explains to him that he arrived at the wrong time in his life. Since the train accident, she has felt empty, psychologically and physically. If she didn’t tell him who she was it was because she was afraid he would be disappointed. Malik retorts that he doesn’t see her at all as she sees herself. He is about to kiss her but Ambre stops him in time. Malik admits it’s better this way, then leaves…
Penelope makes big resolutions
Penelope is having trouble recovering from her very festive weekend with Billie. On the other hand, she is grateful to him because it allowed her to take her mind off things and not think about Baptiste. When Tom comes to pick them up for Guinot’s class, Pénélope panics because they are late.
Once in class, Pénélope realizes that she has completely forgotten to do the exercise requested by the boss. The latter notices this. She takes Penelope aside at the end of class to try to understand. Penelope explains that she had personal problems to deal with and that she completely forgot about the exercise. Claire agrees to close her eyes this time on the condition that Penelope performs the exercise the next day without fail.
Penelope then finds Billie and Tom in the park, dead of shame. She asks Billie to get back on track by stopping going out on weekends, going to bed earlier during the week, and stopping inviting Tom into their room during the week as well. Billie agrees to all his conditions, much to her boyfriend’s dismay.
It’s the war between Carla and Rose
In the park, Rose approaches Joachim to ask him to lower the volume of his music in the morning. She barely realizes that their conversation is heard by several students around: Jim, Bérénice and Carla. The latter also openly mocks the director of the Master, having a grudge against her since she punished him for the video.
Later, Clotilde receives a message from Rose who complains about Joachim. The latter is surprised since they already clarified things in the morning. Clotilde finds her sister angry at criticizing her companion while they offer her room and board.
At the Institute, Clotilde confronts Rose about this. Faced with her denials, she shows him the message she received from him. Rose then suspects Carla of having stolen her cell phone while she was in the toilet and of having sent this message to Clotilde out of pure revenge. Clotilde then advises her sister to clarify things calmly rather than drawing hasty conclusions. But Rose is sure of it: Carla is the one responsible.
She will meet her outside to accuse her directly. When Carla claims that she has nothing to do with it, Rose promises to prove the opposite and take the opportunity to exclude her from the establishment. Carla then confides in Souleymane, who followed the entire scene, explaining that this time, she is really innocent. At his request, the young man agrees to plead in his favor with Rose.
