Wednesday 17 January A more beautiful life, even more beautiful

Jules and Morgan fall into a trap

At the Masalia residence, Yolande comes up with a new plan to reunite Jules and Morgan. He asks them for help in fixing the lock of one of the student rooms. Jules manages to open the door from the outside, but Yolande points out that the problem comes from the inside.

Two residents enter the room when suddenly the door closes behind them. They find themselves locked inside, much to Yolande’s happiness. He lets them know he’s going to help, but he’s actually staying at the door.

Meanwhile, Jules and Morgan continue to play cat and mouse. Jules injures his finger while trying to open the lock with the latch. Morgan, who always carries a first aid kit with him, treats him. Eventually, the tension between them eases, to the point where they even find things in common.

In turn, Myrta surprises Yolande, who is listening at the bedroom door. He understands that his colleague has voluntarily locked up two residents. He is angry and asks to open immediately. Jules and Morgan leave the room smiling. Yolande is proud of her plan.

The joy of sharing

Lea, Jean-Paul, Babette and Patrick have a complicated coexistence. And for good reason, Jean-Paul, who had prepared dinner the day before, had not cooked the dishes yet. Babette is manic and wants to clean the kitchen, but Léa asks her not to touch it because she wants to test Jean-Paul.

Later, Leah discovers that her husband still hasn’t gotten around to cleaning up. He has a word with her, but Jean-Paul replies that he needs Babette and Patrick to empty the dishwasher first. Looks like the message didn’t go through…

A few minutes later, Patrick enters the kitchen. As he goes to wash the dishes, Babette asks him not to get involved. Patrick volunteers to talk about this little problem with Jean-Paul, but Babette replies that it’s up to Leah to have that discussion with her husband. Will the situation improve?

The noose tightens around Estelle

Meanwhile, at the Mistral police station, the police are interested in the profile of Estelle’s ex-boyfriend, Jawad Sanga. They are convinced that a man well known to the police has something to do with Francesco’s poisoning. Patrick informs Samuel and Ariane that Javad was able to administer atropine to dogs using eye drops sold at pet stores.

Samuel and Estelle go to the pet store where Javad works to check the supply of eye drops. An employee informs them that the box is missing. Javad arrives at the same time and two officers arrest him for attempted murder.

At the police station, Samuel and Estelle question the prime suspect. The latter claims not to have a romantic affair with Estelle, nor to poison Francesco. However, the evidence incriminates him: a packet of eye drops is found under the mattress. Javad looks surprised and asks to speak to a lawyer.

At Mistral, Thomas discovers that Aya, one of his co-workers, is none other than Javad’s half-sister. He is surprised and does not understand why Estelle did not warn him. The young woman is convinced of her brother’s innocence and thinks that he is trapped.

In turn, Estelle faces her husband’s increasingly jealous behavior. Francesco asks where he was the other day. The tone rises between them. Francesco becomes angry and tells his wife that her attacker will probably return and she needs him by her side. Estelle hugs him to comfort him.

A few minutes later, Samuel, Ariane, and the reinforcements arrive to search Francesco and Estelle’s apartment. Ariane goes to Estelle and informs her that she has been arrested for trying to poison her husband. Francesco looks shocked.
