Clotilde refuses to be a mother

On social media, Clotilda discovers that her son, Jeremy, has just shared a portrait of her when he was a baby. This photo, which he took a few years ago, evokes nostalgia. Both proud and horrified, he shows it to Rose and Joachim. For the young man, there is no doubt that Clotilda did not give up her desire to become a mother. Later, he meets Penelope in the park of the Auguste Armani Institute. A friend tells him that he is thinking about the name of the future child. Although he is more and more relieved that Clotilda wants a child with him, Joachim prefers to stay put. Will he and Clotilda finally discuss this sensitive issue?

At the end of the cooking class, Clotilda is visited by Mark. The latter suggests starting an old project they have in common: a module called “Extreme Kitchen”. On her way back home, Clotilde learns that Joachim has arranged a romantic weekend for her at a hotel near Arles. But against all expectations, she turns down the offer so she can devote herself to her new project with Marks. Joachim, who was hoping to address the issue of motherhood this weekend, is extremely disappointed. Finally, Clotilda gathers courage and confesses to Joachim: “I don’t want to take care of the child.” How will the young man react?

David faces his demons

In the kitchen, David apologizes to Jude and tells her that he considers her a “friend”. He adds that his breakup with Deva has nothing to do with alcohol. Jude finds it hard to believe, so he asks his friend not to drink a drop of alcohol for the rest of the day. David accepts the challenge.

However, the more hours pass, the more the lack of alcohol is felt. In the middle of the serve, he is unpleasant with the Double A user, which worries Kelly. The new housekeeper lectures her and threatens to fire her if she doesn’t change her behavior immediately. Annoyed, David goes to the dressing room to drown his anger in alcohol. Suddenly, Deva and Jasmin arrive. David hides to listen to their conversation. He realizes how much pain he causes his lover. He looks at the bottle, not knowing if he should give in to the temptation.

A few minutes later, David is joined by Jude. He admits to her that he is an alcoholic and declares: “I broke up with my girlfriend so that she didn’t know that I got into it again.” He is consumed by regret, especially since for him Deva is the woman of his life. He says he wants to stop drinking, but without anyone’s help.

Anais declares war on Salome

At the Auguste Armand Institute, Hortense and Maddie devise a plan to reconcile Anais and Salome. They manage to convince Kelly, Vicki and Ethan to play, but Livio is more reluctant. Hortense reminds her that Anais and Salome make a fantastic duo and that without them, the arrival of the Prix Vatel inspector promises complications. These words immediately make him change his mind.

Back in the kitchen, Kelly, Vicki, Ethan and Livio begin planning their attack. They deliberately fail to prepare in such a way that Anais and Salome realize that they need each other. Salome understands that something is happening. He warns his team, “You’re breaking our menu with Anais so we can work together.” Kelly and Vic have no choice but to tell him the truth.

Back at the dorm, Salome confides in Gathan that he shouldn’t have interfered in Anais’ love life. The young man advises him to apologize to his best friend. Salome takes advantage of this discussion and tells Gaetan that she regrets hiding from him his potential departure to Bordeaux to work with Chef Mayer. Gaitan does not object and even seems ready to follow him in this new life.

Anais, on the other hand, is still standing behind the stove. He is determined to win a cooking duel with Salome. But suddenly, Antoine Miriel arrives to make an unexpected announcement: Salome is giving up the duel because she can no longer stand the conflict with her best friend. Antoine asks Anais if she agrees to take Salome to his brigade. If Ethan and Livio are already excited about the proposal, it’s not about Anais at all. Indeed, the young boss gets angry with his clerks and declares: “Salome will not return to the brigade, and if you are not happy, or if you start dirty again, I will fire you.”
