A cooking marathon is underway

After the ordeal of the road trip, David showed no sign of life. Deva is so worried that she informs the police, but they can’t do anything because David is an adult. While Lionel thinks that David is lost in the woods, Jasmine instead tries to reassure Deva by suggesting that she spent the weekend with friends.

Then the students meet in the amphitheater where a cooking marathon is held. Four student-teacher pairs will compete for 24 hours to cook as many dishes as possible out of 50 dishes created by Salome and Anais. The cooking marathon will be telecast live on the networks.

The draw consists of the following couples: Hortense and Deva; Mark and Jimmy; Olivia and Lionel; And finally, Clotilda and David. The absence of the latter is noticeable. Still worried, Deva confirms to Mark and Clotilde that David hasn’t heard from her in two days. The two leaders then tell him that David has a drinking problem and may be putting himself in danger. However, they promise that they will take care of finding it themselves.

Although Clotilde immediately wants to warn Antoine, Marc asks her to give him an hour to find David on his own. Indeed, he has an idea of ​​where the young man could be. Mark suggests that David is trying to experiment with breastfeeding in the desert. Clotilde gives him the green light.

Mark immediately follows David into the woods. Near the place where the last test of the extreme module was carried out, Mark finds a box of drugs that David got rid of. This clue leads him straight to David, curled up in a corner near a cliff.

Mark makes a quick call to Clotilda to reassure her, then rushes over to David to get him a coat and water. David confirms that he wants to retire to the great outdoors, as Mark has done in the past. In fact, he refuses to be in a hospital room for treatment. Mark does not insist on returning the young man to the institute. After that, David expresses his desire to participate in a culinary marathon.

In the dressing room, Deva is deeply relieved to see David safe and sound. He apologizes for not being there for her when she needed him. Lionel, Jasmine and Jude are also happy to see their friend again. David apologizes to them for their bad behavior in recent days.

In the atelier, everyone is preparing for a cooking marathon. Clotilde, paired with David, can’t help but worry. He says he really needs this test.

As the hours pass, Clotilde becomes less calm. She confides her fears in Mark. However, the latter insists that David really needs to prove to himself that he can participate in the cooking marathon. Especially since she could start to have violent delusions from the effects of the withdrawal and Mark would rather keep an eye on her…

Claire is willing to do anything for Louis

At breakfast, Claire confides in Olivia that she’s stressed when Rose visits with Louis in the guest room. Olivia hopes her partner doesn’t have high expectations. He points out that while Rose is ready to see her brother, that doesn’t mean she’s ready to return to the Institute as a teacher.

During the day, Rose admits to Antoine that she refused to visit Louis at the last moment. He felt he wasn’t ready, even if he blamed himself for giving Claire false hope.

Later, Claire learns from Louis that Rose has not come to see her in the guest room. The latter admits that he did not find the strength to do so and apologizes. Claire understands and suggests she take her time. Meanwhile, she asks him to contact Louis in writing, which Rose readily accepts. Olivia is impressed by the calmness and wisdom of her companion, whose frustration she can only imagine.

Back at home, Olivia overhears a phone conversation between Claire and Louis. Her partner trains her son to make Rose obey him. As Claire hangs up, Olivia reminds her that it’s important to respect Rose’s pace. Claire replies that she wants to do whatever it takes to get Louis out of prison.

Stanislaus is more vulnerable with Laetitia

Antoine is surprised to see that Leticia is still not in the room. The young woman finally admits to him that Stanislas expelled her from classes due to incompatibility of character. Antoine is very surprised by this motive.

In Double A, Antoine takes advantage of Stanislaus’ score to share his point. He recognizes that Laetitia has flaws, but also emphasizes her efficiency and enthusiasm. Therefore, he believes that character incompatibility is not a valid reason for his exclusion from classes. However, he is ready to respect Stanislas’ decisions.

Later, Laetitia and Stanislas meet in a vegetable garden. The latter asks him to come to the room the next afternoon to reinforce the service. He takes the opportunity to thank her for not saying anything to Antoine about the reasons why he kicked her out of his classes.

Laetitia then wonders why Stanislaus wants to keep his comatose wife’s condition a secret. The latter tells him that the doctors told him a few months ago that he should stop hoping that Maya would wake up. However, Stanislas cannot turn it off. Therefore, he could not bear the pitiful glances of his colleagues and students if they knew about it. In understanding, Laetitia promises him not to tell anyone.
