Is Carla Rose’s daughter?

Not having heard of his son’s departure, Antoine finds him on the terrace of Double A. After Suleiman admits that he should have told him the truth sooner, Antoine realizes the reasons that led his son to act this way. The two men reconciled. Suleiman also admits to his father that he has feelings for Carla, although they are not reciprocated. However, she really wanted Carla to stay with them until she gave birth. Antoine agrees.

Meanwhile, Carla is with Berenice when Rose gets back to her about the discussion the day before. Rose agrees to help Carla find her biological parents. She contacted a social worker she knew. All three have a meeting in the afternoon at the Grand Cafe. Carla thanks Rose from the bottom of her heart.

Rose then goes to the management office to announce to Antoine that she is not going to stay out of Suleiman’s life, and then informs him that she is going to help Carla find her biological parents. Antoine, for his part, apologizes for his reaction the day before and assures her that Rose will always be part of their family no matter what.

At the Grand Cafe, Rose and Carla meet with a social worker who finds a clue in the notebook she was keeping at the time: On January 4th, 2005, someone left a newborn baby under a portico. The mentioned person’s name was Gaspar Merin.

Back at the Institute, Carla gives Berenica and Suleiman the latest news. If she has yet to find anything on the Internet about Gaspar Merrin, Carla is determined to track him down. His two friends convince him to support him.

Meanwhile, Rose returns home and confides in Clotilde that the name Gaspar Merin means something to her. A little later, Rose re-reads her ex, Raphael’s first novel. The hero’s first name is Gaspar Merin. Rose then begins to wonder if Raphael lied to her about their son’s death. She remembers little about the birth. But if everything she believed was wrong, then perhaps her child would be Carla…

Does Penelope love Joachim?

Joachim and Constance prepare to leave the institute to take part in the big challenge day, receiving encouragement from their respective partners. At the same time, Penelope arrives to tell him that she is withdrawing from the race due to a sprained ankle. When Constance offers to examine her, Penelope politely declines, helped by Joachim, who declares that it is time to go.

Later, Teissier surprises Penelope on the stairwell of the commissary. Therefore, he understands that he lied in order not to participate in the race. At first, she thinks that he acted the way he did because he wasn’t going to participate. However, Penelope is really disappointed that she didn’t make it to the race. But he refuses to explain the real reason to the director.

After the race, everyone gets together for a drink. Joakim gets a silver medal. He then accompanies Penelope behind the counter to help her prepare the drinks. He takes the opportunity to give her two tickets to a Rolling Stones concert. Penelope then suggests that they go there together to thank him. Joachim indicates that he will think about it.

At boarding school, Billy, who saw Penelope and Joachim together, suspects that his roommate is in love with him. Penelope directly denies this and mentions that she is in a relationship. This argument does not convince Billy, as the Penelope couple seems to be headed for a breakup rather than a reconciliation. In any case, Bill emphasizes that Joachim is Clotilde’s preserve.

Enzo surprises David and Jude

In the kitchen, Judy is working on her 100% vanilla dessert, which she decides to enhance with dark rum. David congratulates her on the initiative, which reduces the micro-dose of alcohol they just took. However, Judy specifies that alcohol affects her motivation, but not her inspiration. Enzo arrives at the same time. Seeing that Jude has reworked his concept to re-propose it to Tessier, he offers her coaching services to train. But Judy feels she doesn’t need it.

During the Double A service, Salome notices that David and Judah are busy. Enzo finds this suspicious for two reasons: first, he didn’t know the two boys were friends; Second, he had never seen Judas so expressive.

Later, Jude presented a new presentation of his concept at Teyssier: playing on the contrasts between total purity in terms of dressing and intensity of flavor. The young man explains that he reworked his dessert to make the flavors more powerful. While Tessier tries to test her, Judy gains confidence and answers. After tasting the dessert, Teissier approves of it and agrees to be the director of his master’s project.

Judah meets David at the commissary to share the good news with him. To mark the occasion, David suggests drinking a small dose of alcohol. At the same time, Enzo arrives and surprises them. David offers Judah a victory toast. But Enzo refuses and instead offers to tag along over coffee.
