Monday, January 23 in Here it all begins…
Clotilde and Rose summon Ferigno. As president of the championship jury, Clotilde will organize a press conference in the afternoon to explain the progress of the rest of the competition. The last events will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, while the trophy presentation will take place on Friday with a cocktail.
The Armand sisters force Ferigno to forfeit during this press conference. If he does not, they have enough to prove to everyone, thanks to an audio recording, that he did try to poison Emmanuel Teyssier. To defend himself, Ferigno retorts that he could also reveal that they are at the origin of the Circle. Clotilde assumes that this is not necessarily flattering for the Institute, but at least they do not risk going to prison, unlike him.
For his part, afraid of suffering reprisals from Ferigno, Vic seeks support from Clotilde and Rose. The latter promise him their protection on the condition that their secret remains between them. Otherwise, Vic will be fired. The young girl therefore announces to the other members of the Circle that she has found a way to get rid of Ferigno thanks to an unexpected ally, without saying anything more.
Enzo, meanwhile, reports the latest developments to Teyssier. He therefore tells him that everyone knows that he is playing a double game within the Circle, including Ferigno. He adds that Vic cornered him thanks to an audio recording in which he clearly confesses to having tried to poison him. Teyssier then instructs the student to get his hands on it. But Enzo refuses to continue playing the minions for the school principal.
Later, Mehdi accuses Teyssier of having been aware of the existence of the Circle without ever lifting a finger. He declares to be very disappointed with the behavior of his mentor, who is no better than Ferigno in his eyes. After which, Mehdi confesses to Hortense that he still loves her. The couple finally meet and kiss passionately.
Meanwhile, Clotilde informs Emmanuel and Theo that Ferigno is going to forfeit during the press conference. Teyssier rebels because he really wanted to crush his rival in the kitchen. But Clotilde does not endorse their settling of scores. Even Theo is upset to find that his father believes that his victory against Ferigno would be much more prestigious than a simple victory against him.
During the press conference, Ferigno therefore declared that a personal problem forced him to go abroad on Thursday. Teyssier then proposes to declare the one-day championship. The tests will therefore take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, just before the so-called departure of Fergino. Faced with the insistence and provocations of his sworn enemy in front of the journalists, Ferigno accepts the challenge by facing the Teyssiers the next day…
Jasmine gets Jude to validate the Valentine’s Day menu for the Double A. The latter is not very convinced by the waterzoï, which he associates with a rather wintry and family dish. Samia defends her dish by explaining that it has a real story associated with her love affair with Ethan. Jude validates his idea provided that it makes it a little sexier.
Samia reviews her recipe with Ethan. Without realizing it, she is particularly haughty with him, especially when he suggests that she add truffles to her egg yolk emulsion.
The tension rises to such an extent that Jasmine is forced to step in to mediate. As a chef, it’s up to her to decide. She listens to Ethan’s suggestion and offers Samia to give it a try. Jasmine reminds us that this dish symbolizes their love story. Samia must therefore learn to collaborate. The latter apologizes to her boyfriend, explaining that she wanted to create a perfect recipe for him. Ethan accepts her apology, while expressing his need for consideration. Samia promises him to make an effort.
Joachim surprises Zacharie at the studio sending a voice message to Laetitia for yet another surprise. The chef also admits to being a little out of ideas to constantly surprise Laetitia and continue to seduce her. Joachim thinks he should perhaps let her take initiatives in turn.
For her part, Laetitia confesses to her sister that she loves being desired. She even refrained from kissing Zacharie, despite her desire, for fear that this romantic phase would never end. Salomé understands his point of view, while emphasizing that the carnal aspect of a relationship can also be part of the seduction game.
Later, Zacharie takes Laetitia to the salt marshes, where he has organized a picnic. On the program: mulled wine and grilled marshmallows. He takes it upon himself to light the fire, but his matches are too wet. In a panic, Zacharie gets ready to go get more. But Laetitia keeps him with her and asks him to kiss her.
After a few kisses, Zacharie admits that he prefers to maintain their relationship as it is, without rushing. While Laetitia suggests to him on the contrary to take the next step, he says he wants to wait.
